What Must be Said: Apple, Google, AT&T, and Me Being Right. - August 31st, 2009

I don’t like to brag. I hate braggarts, and I hate feeling like one. That doesn’t stop me from committing this post to indulging in some serious self-appreciation, as well as reiterating my previous points on this issue in a “how’s your face feel” fashion towards those who would disagree.

Google Chrome for Mac: Stable Enough for Me. - August 31st, 2009

I’ve been periodically installing and stress-testing builds of Chrome and Chromium over the last few months, waiting for the day when I could comfortably say “it’s ready.” Today was that day. I couldn’t be happier, save for maybe a little bit smoother window-resizing, but that’s trivial since I keep it the same size after the [...]

Social Media Pushers on Twitter: Here's a Tip. - August 5th, 2009

TechCrunch: Arrington's Showing His Ignorance. - August 1st, 2009

Yesterday on TechCrunch, Mike Arrington posted a rant article proclaiming that he “Quit The iPhone.” I began reading the post with the usual trepidation, since lately it’s just not possible to predict what Arrington might do in what seems to be an endless bid for the world’s attention. My fears were indeed confirmed as he [...]
