Leading the Echosphere…

November 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

…in reporting other peoples’ analysis. Arik Hesseldahl, is at it again over on BusinessWeak, reporting the reports of reports of analysts rehashing Apple’s sales numbers from a frigging month ago.
His headline, “Analysts Sounds Off On Apple,” tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the rest of the post. BusinessWeak apparently doesn’t […]

Rock Out With Your Clock Out

November 18th, 2008 · No Comments

I remember when I was a kid, TV shows would sometimes break in with a news flash. Well, there isn’t any news to flash today. Or any news about Flash today, either. That is not stopping anyone from writing about it in the echosphere, though.
You know what I’m talking about. It’s that “Flash on the […]

The iPhone is No Big Deal: Microsoft

October 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

The fact that the iPhone is selling like light beer at a NASCAR race doesn’t faze Microsoft at all, according to this blog entry over on BusinessWeak.

October 21st, 2008 · 6 Comments

Well, the votes are in. Apple blew away the analysts’ predictions again. Apple gave conservative guidance again, but not as conservative as everyone thinks it should be – what with everyone on planet Earth and in several neighboring solar systems wandering the streets naked and hungry because of the recent dip in the Dow.

The New Leopard Upgrade is Available

September 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Yippee!
I’ll install it tomorrow.

My hard-core Windows-loving colleague just succumbed to iPhone envy and got himself a 3G iPhone. He’s in love.
It’s fun to watch him showing me all the cool things it does.

Big news. Some apps are not making the cut for the App Store. Dang. Gruber has his panties in a twist. D.E. Dilger […]

Apple has a Monopoly on OS X

August 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

This is all over the internet as a possible violation of antitrust laws. Apple has a monopoly on their own product. It should be just fine for other people to repackage their intellectual property and sell it for a profit.
Excuse my cynicism, but that’s plain fecking stupid.
