Wow? Actual competition. In 2011. Who'da thunk it? Doncha love it when AT&T gets hit in the face with a large, cold, wet fish? Do you suppose they'll respond with a competitive product that their customers actually want, or just buy a fe…

The problems of the American entertainment industry have nothing to do with communications technology and everything to do with their their product. They've very little to offer beyond a hyper-conservative, formulaic, rehash of 20th century clichés…

For the overwhelming majority of users, Office is Windows, and - whether or not anyone outside the industry stops to think about it - Office is mostly Excel. If Apple every chooses to produce a grown-up, marriageable release of iWork rather than th…

Having 50 billion dollars not only means never having to say you're sorry, but that you can hire your enemies rather than fight them. But? "MuscleNerd"? Really? Is he? Can we f*ck as well as hire him?

Quote: 1. What is wrong with a suburban setting? It's a long, long list. The writing on the subject is encyclopedic. In short, the suburbs are parasitic, isolating, wasteful, a major factor in our deadly sedentary lifestyle, and of course ugly…

The comparison with the Pentagon is certainly apt, but Hawthorne gets extra credit for exposing the oxymoron of a "green" building which requires hundreds of thousands of car trips annually. Not surprisingly, the renderings of the main structure fe…

Kindle is an overpriced single-purpose moron of a device slaved to a company whose ebook products are as shoddy as their marketing practices, and Android is fast becoming such a fragmented mess that the trademark will shortly cease to mean anything …

Over the past few months I note I've deleted nearly every news feed I once subscribed to, out of the growing awareness that finding actual journalistic content in it has become like trying to find an inadvertently flushed diamond in the NYC sewer sy…

It's difficult to trust a company that doesn't use its own products, but putting a rider larger than a small child the back of the starved, neglected, ill-groomed, badly trained wreck OS X Server has become would as cruel to the horse as it would be…

Buried as it is in all the rest, the truly important content is easy to miss: "If you're asked by a customer or just talking to friends or family members, you need to?" What matters here is whether or not we tolerate the notion that our employ…

Yesterday's snarling revolutionary is today's smiling bourgeois capitalist. After we've worn ourselves out beating them, we find we're still every bit as desperate to be one of them. Anyone feel like talking about gay marriage?

Watching the giants fall is unnerving, if only because the last one standing will inevitably become a monster. Power and corruption are two aspects of the same phenomenon. Within the next 5 years, Apple's and Google's abuses will make the worst of…

"I know your next question will be 'when?'" Well, no, not really. My next question is "Why wasn't it released the same week Lion was?" Followed by "And why the hell are you crowing about being late?" "Now would be a great time to upgrade to …

No doubt it'll be a striking building, and no doubt Margaret Hamilton will be somewhere in all that glass wringing her claws with glee and cackling "And your little dog, too!" In the game of archetypes, few things are as fascinating to watch as T…

Pay for the New York Post? What's next? Paying to have the toilets in your home flow backwards?
