Nokia + Microsoft - My Thoughts
Having read the news that Nokia and Microsoft have entered into a partnership into the smart-phone market, I thought I'd offer my 2c.
First off - I'd like to address the skeptics comment that this event clearly shows that Nokia's "in-house" development of an operating system for smart-phones was a "…
Adobe vs. Apple: War of Worlds Escalating
With a new salvo, Adobe has upped the ante in the war of words with Apple.
Frankly, I don't care of either company, but I tend to lean more towards Adobe on this one (as you can tell from any previous posts on the issue in question). It's not that I prefer Adobe technologies to Apple's, or even that…
Adobe Lays the Smackdown on Apple
I am so pleased with Adobe's response to Steve Jobs' letter where he thought he would try to B.S. his way out of the Flash question.
It's good to see that others came to some of the same conclusions as I did - particularly the issue of Flash supposedly crashing Macs. Looks like that argument back-fi…
Steve Jobs Defends Apple's Position - What an Ass
So, it seems Steve Jobs has decided to push his reality distortion field beyond the bounds of his company, and in a response to Adobe's recent announcement of abandoning, release a letter in response.
Does anyone other than Apple fan-boys buy this rubbish?
Let's address a few of his claims, shall we…
Apple Alienating I.T. Companies
I'm not fan of Flash - anyone who knows me would attest to that. However, I will admit that it has it's place in the world. I do enjoy my little Flash games, as to millions of others.
Apparently, Apple doesn't give a toss.
First they slagged off Java (funny position, since their CPU for the iPhone w…
The Exodus Begins
Slashdot has a story about how many high profile developers have begin moving away from the iPhone. I've warned of iPhone's problems before, been accused of being "jealous of Steve Jobs", and all sorts of other idiotic responses. Well, now all you Jobs-o-philes can be silent. I'm not alone in my dis…
How Expensive Is Apple, Really?
There's always been a back and forth debate as to whether Apple really is over-priced or not. I thought I'd actively test this, and submit my findings. Please note that this is a simple comparison, and I don't go into things like consumer experience per se.
Also note that according to Apple, Mac OS …
Apple At It Again
In the now length legal battle between Apple and Psystar, there's been a fair bit of back and forth. I personally do feel that Apple's Mac OS X license does constitute product tying, but I'm hardly in a position to affect that decision.
However, Apple has really gone off the deep end now. As part of…
App Store a "Crapshoot" - And Still They Come
When an Apple "poster boy" (Steve Demeter) comes out saying Apple's App Store is "kind of a crapshoot", then there's a fairly clear indication of something seriously wrong. I've maintained this all the time - Apple's rules are peculiar and are enforced inconsistently.
This is the "Windows Syndrome" …
More Apple iPhone Stupidity
Disgust with Apple
I am becoming more and more disgusted with Apple. Read an article today about Apple trying to gag people who have suffered at the hands of defective Apple equipment.
Frankly, I don't care if this is common business practice or not. The fact of the matter is that Apple's culture of secrecy is startin…
Apple Had It Coming
Well, Apple had it coming. Apple has been wielding their control over the iPhone store and iTunes so anti-competitively that is was bound to raise the ire of US regulators.
Frankly, Apple deserves this. They've historically been one if the loudest voices crying foul of Microsoft's business practices…
If Microsoft Got In Trouble, So Should Apple
Before I begin this blog entry, let me say categorically that I have no love for Palm. They squandered their market lead in the PDA field, and wasted the talent they bought then they purchased Be.
I read this article today, and it brought me back to when companies started claiming that Microsoft use…
