Much love. Namaste.
When something as sweeping as this happens, there just isn’t much you can say that hasn’t already been said. Though some people may remember Steve as the archetypical bullshitter, capable of making something as rudimentary as magnets seem revolutionary, the ironic reality is that he saw the status quo of technology and relentlessly worked to…

So how’d I do?
I think I did relatively well this time. iPhone 4S? Check. Same design as iPhone 4? Check. Faster processor? Check. Better camera? Check. NFC? I was hoping for an NFC sensor to be added, but no dice. After having seen Touchanote for Evernote I got rather excited for what NFC might bring to our lives.…

I’ve created myself a Rackspace account and I’ll be moving icanthascheezburger.com to Rackspace in the next week or so. If I do this right, you won’t notice a thing. Even your RSS feed will keep working. But keep an eye on my Twitter account.

My iPhone event predictions
It’s that time again. We’ve got an Apple event coming up on Tuesday morning at 10 Pacific (side note: I LOVE living in the Pacific time zone, because it’s two hours less waiting that I have to do to see the event. Woo!).

Hyland said…

Nothing particularly recent comes to mind, but in the past few months, the public perception of Google in tech blogs has been growing ever more negative. People are reaching out to predict Google+’s failure out of what could only be spite. Â Recent changing up of Google execs have people claiming they have a leadership crisis…

What’s Apple’s next big major product?
Perhaps the biggest concern Apple aficionados have about Steve Jobs’s departure from Apple isn’t that Apple will suddenly fall apart, but that there won’t be any breakthrough new products like Mac, iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Â It’s a fear of mine as well, but I think the next area Apple’s going to revolutionize is the living…

In defense of the Ribbon-ization of Windows
The initial reaction to Microsoft’s unveiling of the Ribbon in Windows 8’s Explorer.exe has mostly been sour. Â Of course, most of these people are using Macs and they see this as an over-complication of the UI. Â Those defending Windows accuse Apple of “dumbing down” Finder to “make it look pretty” (seriously, this is a direct…

This is just embarrassing, Evernote!
Evernote posted a remarkably cool product in their blog (http://blog.evernote.com/2011/09/02/htc-tablets-and-evernote/) by HTC. Understanding that this is a major thing to me to say, it’s the first time I have seen an awesome feature in a non-iPad tablet that made me want to replace my iPad with it. This new notebook app is a full blown…

So Steve Jobs Calls Me Up Again
So I’m sitting here this morning doing some meditation and my phone starts ringing. Â I notice the number is a Cupertino number. Â Excitedly, I pick up. Â It’s my favorite former CEO! “Steve, my man. Â I was wondering when you were gonna call.” “Hi, Aaron. Â I wanted to let you know that we can talk a…
