From the September 24, 2009 New York Times, in an article about Twitter raising money, and their ability to generate revenue:
“It would be trivially easy for them to turn on a revenue source today,” said Steve Broback, founder of the Parnassus Group, which runs conferences on Twitter and other business topics. “I don’t see that [...]
A lot of people ask me about what kind of computer to buy. Unless you have to have a PC, a Mac is the way to go, for the following reasons:
You don’t have to worry about viruses, nor install virus software. (At least until someone figures out how to write an effective Mac virus, which [...]
There’s no shortage of outrage over Amazon’s decision a few weeks ago to pull illegally-sold copies of George Orwell’s books off of Kindles. Amazon has since stated that it was wrong and they won’t do it again, but to me, pulling the content and refunding the purchase price was the right action, primarily because the [...]
What is it? Can’t tell you yet. But visit the Wishing Stars site and follow Wishing Stars on Twitter and you’ll be among the first to know.
I released my first iPhone app a few weeks back, Countdown Calendar, based on the OS X Dashboard Widget I created a couple of years ago.
I’d been in love with the idea of writing iPhone apps for several months, and though I was overflowing with ideas on what to write, due to the success of [...]
John Gruber linked to a Paul Thurrott post this morning about the apparently delusional Windows Mobile team (prediction: Microsoft will buy RIM within 24 months). What caught my attention, however, was Thurrott’s assertion that the iPhone App Store is “arguably the biggest innovation of the iPhone.” We saw a similar sentiment expressed earlier in the [...]
I’d be remiss if I didn’t encourage everyone to come to the Pacific Pinball Expo this weekend. If you’re within a hundred-mile radius of the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, California, you owe it to yourself to be there. And frankly, even if you’re further away than that, you should still mull a visit [...]
TILT will be showing at the wonderful California Extreme video game and pinball expo this Saturday, June July 19 in downtown San Jose, California. Showtime is tentatively set for 7pm, though that could change…keep watching this board for updates. Please come by, check out what will certainly be an amazing show, watch the film, and come say hello! (I’ll [...]
This is a refinement of an earlier article I did for LaughingPlace.com.
It started last year, as my wife and I finished our day at Disneyland and walked back to our room at the Disneyland Hotel. Not for the first time, I noticed the iconic “Disneyland Hotel” red neon sign missing, and an old sentiment awakened: [...]
It was just hours ago that I stared, disgusted, at my TV as Comcast’s OnDemand service pelted me with ad after ad for their newest pay-per-view offering, the Matthew McConaughey-Kate Hudson crapfest Fool’s Gold. I found this disgusting because of all the fantastic movies in the world Comcast could promote, they were wasting time on this [...]
