11 Aug 2009 What’s that you say? It can’t be possible! 9% market share in PCs! Symbian has them crushed in market share in the smart phone market. There’s no monopoly here! I am afraid so…
In economics, a monopoly exists when a specified individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to [...]

24 Jun 2009It kept happening to me. I would get to work and an email I read while remote was gone. It happened a few times more and I snooped around and found them sitting in the trash in my mail client. I wasn’t sure exactly what was going on until today. The answer? There is [...]

14 Apr 2009 This is not a rant, it’s a legitimate beef with the numbers Apple is representing. The other night my wife and I were playing with our iPhones and downloading apps. I said to her, “you know, for 10,000 applications, there sure doesn’t seem to be that much to download.
I was having that conversation with [...]

20 Feb 2009 It’s been about a month since my wife and I ditched our HTC Mogul Windows Mobile smart phones and their super cheap MS discounted service plans. We switched from Sprint to AT&T and went with the ever popular iPhone.
It wasn’t until two or three days later that we realized what a leap we had [...]
I just finished going through this book and thought I would share my thoughts on it. I picked up this book having pretty much zero xcode and objective-c knowledge. I took the time to read through Apple’s “The Objective-C 2.0 Programming Language” documentation before I got started on the book to make sure I picked [...]

18 Jan 2009Now I have had this hunch for quite a while. I am not sure what experiences other people have had, but despite the “it just works” marketing hoopla, many times our Macs don’t just work. In recent memory I have had problems in OS X, Logic, iTunes and iPhoto just to name a few. These [...]

30 Oct 2008Funny little question isn’t it? Coming from someone who loves Apple products and thinks the iPhone is one Gee Golly Whiz Bang product, why would I say I sincerely hope that the iPhone doesn’t take a dominant market share and force other players out of the market? It’s simple. Have you ever heard of [...]

25 Sep 2008Everyone is upset. Well, that is if everyone is about 1% of iPhone/iPod Touch users. In January Apple was claiming they had already sold 4 million iPhones, not to mention millions of iPod Touches I am sure. So let’s say conservatively that there are 5 million devices in the wild. and we’ll take off [...]
While going through my web site statistics for the week, I found and interesting metric. over 30 unique visitors found my site on Safari for Windows. I have tried the beta myself and it gave me no reason to give up on Mozilla Firefox. (which dominates my web site at over 46% total usage)

7 Nov 2007Last night, in preparation for my trip to San Francisco, I decided to rip a couple movies onto my iPod Touch for the flight. I had never done this before, so it sent me looking for a solution. Now I know that Google makes it’s living on ads, but it’s a little disheartening that I [...]
