I wish I were a student again so I could impress people with my rolling skills. I had none, but that could all change for a new generation now that Apple has given the go ahead to the “roll your own” app.
Apple is usually so picky about which apps get the go ahead, nothing smutty or 18-rated, but clearly rolling up is hunky dory down in Cupertino, California. Read More
The Dallas Morning News is planning to join the band of newspapers erecting paywalls in 2011, but will ensure that its site remains open to social media with blogs and some other content remaining free to access and share on Twitter and Facebook. Read More
This is spot on. Scarily so. As a dedicated iPhone user, of course, I see myself as slightly cooler and more hip that those struggling with their Blackberrys. I’m sorry, but no amount of cool looking ads with dance music will make Blackberry’s cool.
Sorry it just won’t happen. I have to say that I have a cape in my closet so really I don’t mind if others see me like like that and besides it is OKAY to worship Steve Jobs. Besides false idolatry is so several centuries ago. Read More

Do Androids dream of really cool handsets? I’m only asking as the world is going all Philip K Dick on us. The Androids are coming. I’d been wondering what I would get next, disappointed with Blackberry, and not wanting to be yet another Nathan Barley type wittering on about their Apple iPhone.
