Posted on September 2, 2010 by jessestay

Today Apple did one of the most powerful things they have done since the launch of the iPod.  Notice that I didn’t say “revolutionary”.  There’s nothing new about it.  Note that I didn’t say “innovative”.  There’s nothing unique about it. … Continue reading →

Posted on August 12, 2010 by jessestay

Name a Better Phone

Posted on July 13, 2010 by jessestay

Posted on July 11, 2010 by jessestay
