Walk down the tourist area of Haight Street towards the park and you'll see pieces of cardboard and what looks like dog poop or human faeces smeared all over the sidewalk. Outside …

Many mobile developers defend Apple taking their 30% cut. Crazy, but true.

This could be it. Amazing what "celebrities" are charging for product placement. https://twitter.com/BikiniRobotArmy/status/54688646593893171...

This is great when you consider today's culture of planned obsolescence and the environmental damage that results. Yes, I'm pointing fingers at Apple here, because they charge $100…

Clearly Tim Cook and senior management are in a bind. They keep telling people they're geniuses ('only Apple could do this') and industry leaders in environmental practices. The BB…

This is a letter which Tim Cook et al issued to Apple UK staff after the BBC's documentary unit, Panorama, went undercover into the iPhone factories. Terrible working conditions in…

Very funny and true... and it looks like fear (of getting emails hacked) has executives in Hollywood panicking now. "Steve Carell’s North Korea Movie ‘Pyongyang’ Canceled in Wake o…

It might never be released. Sony has pulled it from theatrical release and said there are no plans for video-on-demand or DVD release. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/sony-cancel…

Seth Rogen is a bit of a coward. He picked an easy target in Kim given that North Korea is isolated and has no ability to do any real harm to him. Easy to mock somebody who can't g…
