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 [...]
So John Gruber named Henry Blodget his Jackass of the Week because of a piece Blodget wrote at Silicon Alley Insider suggesting that Google will do to Apple in the ’10s what Microsoft did to Apple in the ’80s. That is, completely marginalise the company and develop and control the de facto operating system. Gruber’s [...]
Work recently provided me with a Blackberry Bold, and while some things about it are really cool, some things remind you how shitty phones are. People complain about the fascist-like App Store Apple runs for the iPhone but sometimes the level of frustration you experience with other phones makes you beg to be put into [...]
So there’s an article by Tim Wu over at Slate about how the iPhone isn’t as revolutionary as Apple makes it out to be. John Gruber has done a pretty good job in the past few days deconstructing some of the anti-iPhone articles out there but he seems to have missed Wu’s so I thought [...]
