Steve Jobs era at Apple over...again?

@gkaizer's recent Computerworld article, Moves, mistakes prove Steve Jobs era at Apple over, say analysts covers analyst reactions to Apple's recent moves under Tim Cook's leadership as indicative that the company Steven Jobs built is now a "very different company." The differences are, indeed, very concerning, but not for the reasons cited - those reasons are actually symptoms of one reason that went unrecognized and, even though it is no secret, it apparently still needs to be spelled out.

Windoze won't sleep, go figure

I don’t speak French, so there is no pretence when I say “Plus ca change, c’est plus le meme chose” sounds more exotic and poetic than the English equivalent, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” I only know what it means because of a Rush song, but I've already used that title in a previous post, also on Windows. Imagine that.

Either way, Windows 7 – so long evolved from Windows 3.11, Windows 95. Windows 98. Windows ME. Windows XP. Windows Vistahahahahaha - has all kinds of slick new features…but for all those number that have changed…one thing remains utterly the same. 

It’s Windows. Smh.

HP TouchPad not selling well

Larry Dignan reports for ZDNet that HP's TouchPad sales are underwhelming and ponders who's to blame, HP or Best Buy? While he concludes both, I lay it squarely on HP.

Last I checked, the product has never been called the "Best Buy TouchPad." It's HP's baby, and it was up to them to do a proper launch and give the TouchPad a fighting chance.

Some light on the dark side

Previously, I tried to explain a little of why there are still Palm OS-5 die-hards out there, myself included. Now that I've begun experimenting with an iPod Touch, it's time to share some first-hand reactions to the new standard.
