Always important to establish credibility by getting the name of the company you're writing about wrong in the title.

Because time is a continuum.

The phrase "the rise of" is really being abused these days.

I continue to be flabbergasted that so many otherwise savvy observers believe that a random assortment of software annoyances constitutes a crisis at Apple. Articles like this coul…

Because it implies a fully native app, which is a feature to some people.

When would you have rooted for them in the past?

Nothing beats working out to the 7 Minute Workout musical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LezARmLDu6U

They're not dispelling any sentiment that eOS is a knockoff of OS X with the use of the term HIG. (Do not care if it's a term that predates Apple, it's very much associated with Ap…

I approve of the old school MacName.

Hate to be a downer, but I wasn't impressed with Star Fox even at the time as an 8 year old boy. Clearly a case where the technology had not yet caught up to the ambition. That sai…

I've always interpreted the quote as meaning that good artists are able to recognize worthy work and imitate it, while great artists take that work and make it their own, improve u…

The Lisa UI looks clunky and ugly to modern eyes (akin to though not as bad as other early GUIs like Windows 1.0 and OS/2 Presentation Manager), while the original Macintosh still …

>all-but-stated goal Why do you keep using that phrase? You don't get to judge a company's achievement of goals that you have ascribed to it. Or, you can, but to do so is nonsensic…
