“Microsoft—in a nutshell—is a company that had one successful product that we are...”
– Mike Lee (via marco)
90% Agree. I tend to give Google a little more leeway than Microsoft, because they do frequently make things which really are tremendously useful, and are still coming out with new stuff. This is usually done because it’s something they want to do, or feel they have...

– Mike Lee advocates keeping a pack of cigarettes about you while in San Francisco, to give to the homeless.
I have to say I agree with everything he says here; my experience has been much the same.

– Simplify Media, a Mac favorite, bought by Google (via TUAW)
Competition is good. Purchasing a third-party which produces stuff for a competitor’s platform and then axing that support is a Microsoft kind of move, and one which will only cause Apple to want to keep much more development...

– This witch-hunt will hurt Adobe more than Apple
This sums up exactly what I feel when I read a lot of the hyperbole about how the iPhone/iPad means the Mac will be ‘locked down’ in a similar manner. They seem to believe that they and they alone are able to learn from the past, that the...
Update: Rogers $20 Shared Data Plan Removed →
In answer to questions about the $20 plan:
Many of you have asked about the shared data plan listed on the Apple website. This reference was an error and is being removed.

– aaron.vegh.ca » Seeing Red
Aaron Vegh weighs in on Rogers’ cash-grab upon those who already pay for a data plan for another device. His main point is that the costs charged are in no way indicative of the amount of effort undertaken by the provider. The main insult however is the...
10 Days In a Carry-On →
theoriginaljoefisher:
Heather Poole, a flight attendant from Los Angeles, demonstrates how to pack enough for a 10-day trip into a single standard carry-on.
Invaluable tips for those of us who’ve already shelled out thousands of bucks to visit WWDC this year. This means we can fit everything into carry-ons instead of paying to check bags & having to lug them through the city to our...
