Like Noam Chomsky said the best way to prevent terrorism is to stop participating in it.

One thing I realised from philosophical discussions on the weekend and from seeing Lincoln today is that men AREN'T born equal. Equality is a gift you have to give them and sometimes that gift is very costly. It is good to see that Bill is busy givi…

Looks like my messages here about trying to find Apple in India last year have been heeded. Apart from the excellent Apple shop (not an Apple Store) on MG road in Bangalore (I bought my copy of the Jobs biography there), Apple was hard to find. …

Last night's QI recorded in 2009 played on ABC in Australia last night pointed out the flaws a SatNav (which is very popular in the UK). It claimed something like 400,000 accidents were put down to Satnav directions (way before iOS maps). Any kind o…

Could this be the same Gabe Newell who I am corresponding with on YouTube over a video comparing Dennis Ritchie with Steve Jobs: and I had to correct the lies: Ian Joyner 7 months ago Well, Ritchie invented C which put compute…

Fishstick... I think what Newell is about is computers for geeks. Bring back the complexity in the PC and Windows (and Linux) worlds. 'Computers aren't for the rest of us'. That, I think is why he seems to hate Apple. It has been easy for guys lik…

Seems Java has got beyond a joke. Maybe we need decent virtual machine technology like Unisys (Burroughs) ClearPath MCP (B5000) systems, the ultimate programming environment. Or ideas from the B1700. JVM seems to be based on these machines anyway,…

Wow, the IIGS brings back memories. We had a prerelease GS at NetComm (Australia) in an ordinary Apple II case and sworn to secrecy. If anyone passed by they thought I was just working on the Apple II (of course NetComm's secret weapon was our Bur…

The fact that they want to run full Windows on a tablet means they still just don't get it!

Late... creating hardware to support software the idea goes back to 1961, Bob Barton and the Burroughs B5000: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/AFIPS.1961.4 Burroughs, Xerox PARC, and Apple have been much more into the idea of cr…

A good historical lesson. IBM did not get into the PC market for fear of canibalizing mainframe sales of 360 and 34/36/38s. Worrying about current products against the relentless march of technology and believing your company is so powerful is a f…

Hi Ascii I was going to mention that Granny Smith was buried at St Anne's Ryde. I've seen her grave there!

"However, public filings show that last year, for the first time, both Apple and Google spent more on purchasing and litigating patents than research and development of new products." Great the lawyers win again whatever the outcome. Money directed…

Typical new-recruit manager. Just change what's working, try to put your own stamp on what's working, trip everyone up, move in your own people to establish your power position.... AND kill the goose that laid the golden egg. If your report is rig…
