How iPod Touch makes you use your PC a little less

Owning an iPod Touch makes me use my laptop a little less. How? No more rushing back to my laptop during a commercial break or ‘offline time’ (read passive relaxation) to check my e-mail, Twitter updates or to Google something that I just read or saw on television. The Touch does that job of checking [...]

Trying Out iPod Touch

Thanks to my dear wife, I’m the proud owner of the latest iPod Touch (16GB). Most of my afternoon today is spent in exploring the features of this amazing piece of design and engineering. As much as you try to hate Apple, when it comes to design and usability, they are the kings. My earlier [...]

How Apple kept its iPhone secrets

“One of the most astonishing things about the new Apple iPhone, introduced yesterday by Steve Jobs at the annual Macworld trade show, is how Apple managed to keep it a secret for nearly two-and-a-half years of development while working with partners like Cingular, Yahoo and Google” [source].

Bad Apple

People got yet another reason to hate Apple’s corporate behavior. A nine-year old girl, Shea O’Gorman learnt letter writing skills in her third grade English class and decided to put her newly-acquired skills into action by writing a letter to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computers. She wrote a cutesy letter with squiggly handwriting offering [...]

New Legal Test Defined

I am taking a law class this semester that has exposed me to these tons of cases (mostly United States Supreme Court) that are filled with legalese (jargon for legal jargon) that you can toss around in an argument (or a blog post!) to seem highly erudite. The Supreme Court granted certiorari…what? Come again! The [...]
