I must admit, I wasn’t terribly impressed with the new AppleTV so far, as Apple is still missing a central media server so that a household can keep things together and sync cooperatively into a central store easily. But that’s not why I’m shaking my head the most about the iPod event of September [...]
I’m frankly amused at the way reporters will do anything to sensationalize. I will hold this one up and link to is as I’m sure it’s more damaging than helpful overall, but hey, he wrote it. Keep in mind when you read about this reporter switching to iPhone, it’s based on a demo of [...]
Great timing. No details if the iPhones are unlocked, but carrier exclusivity is mercifully coming to a close in the UK. Of course, we need another national 3G carrier in Canada to bring the benefit home, plus another couple of years for the Roger’s 3-year jail term to all of us to expire, but there [...]

Nobody held a gun to their heads to buy the spectrum. And what have they done with it? Pretty much next to nothing. Still have [...]
This one got me thinking a lot more that would normally be expected. James seems to have a knack for doing that with his posts. James Governor’s Monkchips » Asymmetrical Follow: A Core Web 2.0 Pattern I’ve been trying to figure out for quite a while how to get filtered information through dynamic and/or self-organizing [...]
A “Security Executive” instantly runs forward with a pile of FUD around opening up the mobile platform. These are the same type of people, I’m sure that would preferably lock everything down tight, have facial recognition and iris scanner technology at every doorway in every building, and ensure that users remain as ignorant and incapable [...]
