I read tonight that Apple has announced in it’s developer forum that any application submitted that uses location services ‘primarily’ for the purpose of serving ads to the user will be rejected from the App store. If this is true, they have simply gone too far. Now Apple is making rules about what kinds of software [...] I’m really confused about why so many people are fawning over the Apple iPad. I really don’t get it. It’s an oversized and stunted iPod Touch. I read silly things like “I’d buy one just to watch movies when I travel.“ Excuse me: what???? The darn thing has a 4:3 aspect ratio! We’ve come so [...] I’ve been musing recently about how the cell phone world is split into fairly distinct ecosystems. I know I’m generalizing (I’m trying to do that to draw some generalizations) but I see the following kinds of breakdowns: iPhone Users: typically young (or want to be young), hip, and very media savvy. They tend to be heavily [...] The hoopla about the Apple iPhone App Store has been well discussed. I find it hard to imagine investing the time and effort in writing an iPhone application and then *maybe* getting it accepted into the App Store (after some indeterminate wait period) and then hoping that Apple does not change their mind later (stranding [...] I’ve read some this week about the complaints about the new Google Nexus One Android phone. I got one this past week to test and develop with and have been impressed. More on that in another post. Like the Nokia N900 you can only buy it unlocked. No carrier rebates. I am tending to think [...] Nate Nead has a new post Five Reasons Why the 3-Panel Digital Signage Content Template is Dying. I agree with some of his points but not with the premise. It’s very interesting to see the creative and unusual formats of screens popping up all over the place. I like this innovation, and I think it’s [...] This is not a full review by any means – only an initial glance, a taste, a hint of a review of the new Nokia N900. I got one last Friday and have had a few hours to play with it. I don’t have a SIM card for it yet so I’ve not tested any [...] Prepping my condo for rent, getting the flu, lots of extra work, getting ready for a visit by my Dad… all conspired to keep me away from blogging for too long. I think I am just about to come up for some air, finally, and the funny thing is I feel more oxygenated than ever. [...] You may have noticed that I’ve not posted much lately. I’ve been pretty busy at work (a good thing), had some side work that’s very interesting, and I lost my tenant in my Condo. Having a tenant move out triggers a LOT of work – inspection, minor repairs, cleaning, painting, and getting it rady to [...] I realized tonight that the Research Vessel Atlantis was here in San Francisco earlier this month and I missed her. I was on the commissioning crew of that wonderful ship and love to go back aboard and visit the folks who still sail her. I had thought she was coming in October but I forgot [...] |
