http://blogs.business2.com/utilitybelt/2006/11/vista_microsoft.html?source=yahoo_quote Naturally, I’ll thumb-up anything that rings the death knell for Microsoft, but this is a legitimately thought-provoking piece.

This NY Times piece is a bit dry, but I did love this quote: “It’s like they read our minds,” said David Myers, executive chef at Sona restaurant in Los Angeles and chief executive of the Food Arts Group, where the employees currently use the […]
Jonathan Ive – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_ive I’m compelled to voice one other quibble with today’s keynote: Steve has kept me waiting for a year plus without a Jon Ive talking head segment. “Jony” was called in the audience during the iPhone demo, but no spotlight (klieg lights would work too) was cast upon him. Steve, man, I need my Jon […]
Apple – iPhone 4 – Video calls, multitasking, HD video, and more
http://www.apple.com/iphone/ The vapourware becomes tangible, and looks very promising. The downside? It won’t ship until June! The buggers couldn’t get it ready for me in time to take to Europe. Grr!

Bob Cringely: Apple will stop making iPods the day that they can make more profit from an iPod license than they can make […]

http://swannman.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/howto-read-wikipedia-on-an-ipod/ Well, the script works, but my iPod is too old to support it. Too bad; I loved the idea of carrying the full knowledge of Wikipedia’s American Civil War pages in my pocket!

Google Takes Aim at Excel – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/06/technology/06google.html Google isn’t perfect, and I hate the thought of replacing one monopoly with another, but if it has to happen, I’d rather the monopoly who actually cares about, y’know, usability be the one to win. A glance at the market share of the average Microsoft offering shows that far too many people are willing […]
