Okay, the last couple of days have afforded me the ability to cruise the innertubes a bit.

Kim Kardashian continues to be the subject of reporting. It’s impossible to think of anything more indicative of the decline of civilization. The ratio of compensation to value approaches infinity. At least Lilo had a movie gig or two to justify her media coverage.

…

Apple seems to be selling the iPhone 4S approximately as fast as they can build them.

If you surf the innertubes, particularly the “geek” sites, you can hear frequent complaints about Apple’s “walled garden.” If you bury yourself in the ZDNet/C|Net culture, you might believe that this is a bad thing.

If, however, you bought 100 shares of AAPL in late 1999 (about $25/share, two 2-1 splits ago), you’re probably okay with it.

…

Apple may be introducing a television-like thingy this year. Apple hasn’t said so. Everyone else has. It will gradually learn to respond to voice commands for the first twelve years. After that you can go fuck yourself; the TV will decide what you’re watching.

Android is winning. I’m reading it everywhere.

I’m offering a guest post to anyone who can find accurate and verifiable data that validates Android winning, according to any of the following criteria:

1. Any Android-based handset that is selling more units than iPhone 4 or 4S.

2. More total Android-based hardware (phones/tablets/other) units being sold than total iOS-based hardware units (iPhones/iPads/iPod touch).

3. A handset maker making more money selling handsets than Apple makes selling iPhones.

Seriously. I’ll post your words. I’ll post your opinion. First show me the frigging facts. Until then it’s all hogwash.

…

This just in: 66% of sales at AT&T corporate stores was iPhones. 9% was Android. The other 25% was divided, in order, between AT&T corporate memorabilia (t-shirts, coffee mugs, baseball caps), India Pale Ale (no host bar), various models of Blackberry, and condoms.

Okay, I admit I didn’t read the whole article, but you can if you want to.

Happy New Year.
