“Oh no he di’n’t!” I was having a civil conversation with some guy who was trying to explain to me how Apple would do much better business if they made cheaper computers (apparently in his universe Dell was kicking Apple’s ass in revenues, profit margins, and total cash on hand) and then he went and…

The Mac App Store is launching tomorrow, and it’s arguably the most exciting thing to have happened to Mac developers since XCode.  If you’re a tech enthusiast, it may be difficult to get excited about what is ultimately just a newly developed distribution system for the Mac apps we’ve known and loved for the past…

While our political airwaves keep getting cluttered with endless talking points about spending vs. providing government services, I can’t help but feel like it’s a giant facade covering up a very real deficiency of our government–one that has a very possible, and very simple solution. Our government’s not very agile. Pretty much all of the…

It seems the US government is doomed to never learn from history.  Though I’m a little late to the party and the controversy du jour is probably soon to be replaced with another (remember how everyone was complaining about the TSA just a few weeks ago?) I have been pondering about this issue and I…

When Apple announced that they were developing an App Store for desktop OS X (which I guess I can start calling OS X again now that iOS has a name now) reactions were pretty mixed, and there was a lot of concern.  Personally, I think this is going to really be a boon to OS…

Before the latest iteration of Apple TV was announced, the rumor mill was buzzing with an iOS based Apple TV.  There was probably a bit of disappointment when el Jobso announced the newest Apple TV without “iOS” being uttered.  People’s dreams of an Apple TV app ecosystem were shattered. But according to this article, Apple…
