That’s a pretty prophetic cartoon from geek and poke all the way from July 2007. But let’s talk about Apple first. The last few months have seen a significant turnaround in the opinion the public – or at least the technology crowd – have of Apple. From the high purveyors of gadgety goodness who could [...]

Wired Declares The Web Is Dead—Don’t Pull Out The Coffin Just Yet. This may be more about Wired mixing up the language used to deliver the web with the web itself. HTML is *not* the web.

Here are the patents that Oracle says Google is violating? The problem?

I finally installed Window 7 via bootcamp after trying it out as a VM on my MacBook Pro for a month. First of course I had to get around theridiculous restriction placed by Apple that bootcamp can be used only if the primary HDD is unpartitioned and is a single logical drive. WTF? How retarded [...]

I use Google Chrome in a peculiar way. I prefer Firefox for browsing on Windows because of some add-ons I cannot live without. But I have found Google Chrome perfect for debugging on the Flex/Papervision3d project that I am currently working on – primarily because of it’s per-tab process, responsiveness and generally low overhead nature.
