I haven’t written much about the supposedly impending Apple Tablet device, mainly because I’m not in the business of tech–prognostication. If you’ve listened to the Angry Mac Bastards podcast then you may have heard me express my opinion that there will be an Apple tablet-esque device, and that whatever it is, the ideas being bandied [...]

Everyone’s favorite cranky old jackass Dave Winer is all a’flutter about Wordpress and Tumblr implementing the Twitter API in a post titled How open standards are created. The meat of his post is a bunch of typical Winer bullshit about how wonderful it is that Wordpress and Tumblr have implemented the Twitter API (which is [...]

Brilliant article from Matthew Lasar at Ars Technica examining the issues surrounding government regulation of the Internet though the lens of the issues surrounding the telegraph system. I think that, all too often, the tech punditocracy tends to ignore the thousands of years of human history that proceeded the last decade.

Jesus fuck me Christ! I’ve read some stupid crap, from some stupid fucking “writers” over the years, but the unadulterated shit that Scott Moritz spews out has got to take the cake. Seriously, if you are stupid enough to make a single stock trade based on the tripe that this Uncle Fester looking douche-nozzle vomits [...]

Update to yesterday’s big Mac story. So, apparently the Psystards (come on, they handed me that one) have vowed to fight Apple in court for their “right” to sell generic PC’s with OS X installed.

Just a quick translation from CEO-speak to English of the recent comments from the CEO’s of Mozilla and eMusic (I’m not linking, google them yourselves).
Motherfucker! Why didn’t we think of this first.

One could argue that I pick on the kids at The Apple Blog. But, gosh darn it, they make it so easy. Case in point. Today one of the crew over there posed the question, “Should Apple have had a bigger presence at SXSW?“ To which I will be glad to provide an answer. No. [...]

Today Apple held an event to layout the roadmap for enterprise support and the SDK. I’ll leave the analysis of the event to my betters, mainly because a) I don’t own an iPhone, b) I’m not a developer and c) the morons in charge of “Enterprise IT” where I’m at would first ask if that [...]
