    I'm glad if going todo-less works for the author but I wouldn't recommend it. I doubt many people have the capacity to remember that meeting you're supposed to have Friday after ne…

    Are the new form factors boring? A little. Would people be going on about how boring they were if Steve Jobs were around? I doubt it. The biggest problem Apple faces right now is t…

    As much as I love all these new touch UIs, I can't see myself using them on a desktop PC. The WIMP paradigm has way too many advantages on desktop to just be dropped. Although if s…
