The “cloud” thingy is getting some press lately. It seems your Apple device will play music using your iDisk as a source. Apparently the cloud isn’t going to have as much impact on life as Paris Hilton giving a blowjob on YouTube. Dang. I’m so disappointed. … The European Commision is supporting iPhone, but not [...]

Can’t Find My Way Home.

This is “news.” … Here’s why I don’t subscribe to the Salt Lake Tribune: Their punditbot, here, says: The term “iPhone Killer” is “one of the most overused epithets in the [...]
