“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.” - Steve Jobs
Switching to the Mac from PC

Wired News: Wired News Releases Source Review … Is this a good thing?
A recent article in Wired News is a review of one of their freelance writer's articles over the last 5 years.
On the one hand, I think taking responsibility for what they publish in this proactive way is a good thing and quite honestly better than the "retractions" by MIT and ...

Samsung has just introduced it's new phone, the P207. It's primary exciting feature is that you can talk into it, and it will create an SMS message for you (text).
My question for the ages is, "WHY!!!!".

Aesthetics in Enterprise Applications

As Corona says, “Change your Latitude [Longitude]” – Travel is awesome.
Today I sparked a bit of a conversation after I tweeted:
