Retiring Jobs’ Number →

Rob Cottingham:
The debate will rage for a long time over what piece of technology best encapsulates Steve Jobs’ influence on our world: The iPhone? iPod? iMac? iPad? OS X and Aqua? But I’m going to argue for something a lot more low-tech: the turtleneck.

End of an Era: Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple
Steve Jobs stepping down as the CEO of Apple was a big deal the other day. While the consensus now that the dust has settled is that Apple will be fine (if not better than ever), I took some time to write a blog post about it that was published on the Syracuse University Information Space blog and is currently being featured on the homepage of the School of Information Studies website.
It was a...

Now they’re winding down (read: killing off) webOS and killing off the Pre and the just-released TouchPad?
Yes, they have their large enterprise business. And now they have Autonomy. So essentially, HP is going to try to do...

Shitting On Steve
Me: I'm not really big on the whole full screen apps thing.

Awkward Pause
This summer has been such an awkward pause for me. On one hand, I’m pretty sure this is the busiest, and arguably, most productive I’ve been between the months of June and August. On the other hand, I feel like I’ve done absolutely nothing.

The newest iPad magazine-like reader has just gone live in the App Store. It’s pretty slick. I particularly like how the main page pulls in both your own personal calendar information and tells you whose birthday it is — and let’s you post a message to their wall right from within the app.
And you can set the time that it gets built every morning, so the content is fresh for you to...
