WARNING: Political Content Ahead! This is a difficult post to write. On the one hand, I vehemently oppose Arizona Senate Bill 1070; the so-called “immigration law.” The law is nothing more than a patently transparent attempt by the right-wing to whip up support amongst the racists here in order to make gains in this year’s elections. It’s the Southern Strategy for a new century. On the other hand, I’m bemused by the spate of groups who have taken it upon themselves to punish Arizona by boycotting or canceling events here. Take, for example, the recent decision by Hall and Oates to cancel their Arizona dates as part of a “Sound Strike”. Continue reading Boycott This!
Well, there you have it. The WWDC 2010 Keynote has come and gone. The big news, of course, was the new iPhone 4. Additionally Steve Jobs talked about the newly renamed iOS 4 and minor updates to iBooks on the iPad.

Here’s an insightful post from Ted Landau over at The Mac Observer. Something that Ted briefly mentions, but doesn’t delve into is something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. I think that Apple has reached the point with OS X where it will need to conceptually decouple the included applications such as Mail and iCal from the rest of the operating system. Both applications are in dire need of updating, and arguably require a more rapid update schedule than the system as a whole. Maybe we’ll get that at WWDC, right after Uncle Fester’s monkey dance. 
Very interesting article on Salon.com by Michael Lind detailing the history of American Capitalism and where we go from here. |
