While stories such as this are heartwarming, Siri still has multiple drawbacks. Yesterday I asked Siri for the nearest post office. As I drove to the one it suggested I happened upon another one it hadn't told me about. I pulled into that post offic…

"40 better"? This reminds me of the Homer Simpson quote, "Aw, I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?"

T-Mobile is doing a great job of giving AT&T and Verizon some serious competition. And let's not forget, this could not have happened had the FTC not blocked the merger of T-Mobile and AT&T. This is why mergers are bad for the country and co…

It is hard to tell if the W.H. doesn't understand the idea that once such a backdoor is written for one phone it's for all phones, or if they get it but are disingenuously pretending not to. Either way, it makes me lose even more respect for Obama, …
