I put my hands in my coat pockets and absentmindedly play around with the earphones that I’ve put in my left hand side pocket. I run my finger over the metal earphone jack, flicking its hard tip against my thumb. There’s a comfort to doing that I can’t explain. Something is wrong. The angle. The [...]
I’ve been thinking for a while about a series of posts describing how I use things. Since my iPhone is the device I use most, it seemed like the logical place to begin. I imagine that I use my iPhone home screen differently to most people. Here’s a screenshot: As is quickly evident, I keep [...]
Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever bought an Apple device on the date it was released and I thought that I’d take the opportunity to share my first impressions. This isn’t a review. There are plenty of those around if you want to know if you should get one. Instead, here are three thoughts. [...]
I am not a smart phone analyst. I am not a technology analyst. I am a lawyer that likes technology. Jim Dalrymple is also not a smart phone analyst. He is also not a technology analyst. He is a professional blogger, focusing on Apple. I think he does a good job when he writes about [...]
Chris Foreman at Ars Technica: Calderón said he agreed to a search after being told the police could return with a warrant, though the search turned up nothing. Apparently members of Apple’s security team also went through Calderón’s computer to look for evidence that the device had been plugged in. Those same Apple investigators—one of [...]
Jon Bell works as part of the Windows Phone design team. This is a great talk and the first time I’ve really thought my iPhone is not as well-designed as Windows Phone (I’m envious of something Microsoft makes that competes with an Apple product!). (via Lukas Mathis.)
Is there a tablet market or an iPad market? Will the iPad be the iPod or the iPhone of the tablet world? These are the questions that keep tech pundits up at night (or at least me, it’s 3.30 in the morning and I can’t sleep). In order to answer these questions it seems to [...]
I actually consider myself an Apple Fanboy but the reaction from some Apple fans to the implications of the iPhone recording location data shits me. Ben Brooks: You really have nothing to complain about if you regularly check-in on social services or geo-locate your tweets. You do have something to complain about regardless of whether [...]
I’ve always wanted to like RSS. I’ve gone from reading feeds in Thunderbird to Google Reader to even paying for a piece of software that would supposedly make RSS useful. All of it? Massive failure. The problem was that, when I was at my computer, feeds felt like a waste of time. Why not just [...]
After about 18 months I’ve returned to Japan. I left Japan in April 2009 to return to Australia to complete the work experience component of my Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. This is a necessary step to qualifying as a solicitor and, given that I had already completed the coursework component of the Diploma, had [...]
