apple After Several Weeks With Apple Watch I keep putting it on each day which means something I suppose. I use it for * Checking the time. * Strava start/stop for commuter rides when I'm wearing the watch. I don't wear it for true sports activities. * Paying for stuff at the grocery with Apple
handset Android: I Tried A couple of months ago I shelved Apple/iOS (iPhone 6) for Android (Sony Xperia Z3 Compact) [/ios-to-android-migration-complete]. I'd been a rabid Apple/iOS fan since the first iPhone. I switched because the iPhone 6 industrial design sucks, and iOS 8 was buggy. A few days ago I
handset iOS to Android Migration Complete Punchline if you don't want to read further: I'm successfully using a compact Android phone (for now), but I want an iPhone 4S with NFC, running iOS. Well, I did it. For the first time since Apple released an iPhone, mine (latest, iPhone 6) now sits
apple Twitter, Apple & The Most Profound Namespace Network Effect Since The Dawn Of Man I've blogged about my feelings regarding the utterly dismal state of authentication on the network, and client-side, today [/2010_11_01_archive]. It's a pain we've all, sadly, just accept. It's also a pain that will soon, partially, go away on iOS
apple The Future: My Kids & Computers We have a 5 yr. old girl & an 8 yr. old boy. They've grown up with a lot of technology around the house. Some notes on how they've engaged. We're an Apple/Tivo house; iOS/OSX/*nix only. Our Son - lives on
browser Does Browser HTML5 Support Matter? A few weeks ago I watched a saddening interview that a Google guy conducted in NYC; What is a Browser [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ]? It was sad because effectively no-one even knows what a browser is. The neat thing about that fact though is that the browser
browser Chaning My Computer Interface For a few weeks now I've been using fingerprint readers to login to my computers. Mostly an experiment to see how good, or bad, the technology has become over the past several years, it's turned into my preference for logging into my machines and accessing sensitive
handset The Mess of Carriers, Handsets, App Stores & Consumers. I remember the day my mother brought home her first cell phone. It was the true brick (pictured here), and looking back it was the result of the carriers of the day defining the handset as a product that would run on their network, and having someone build it for
apple iPhone 3G/2.x firmware disappointment I had two concerns just over a year ago with leaving my Palm Treo 680 for the iPhone. One, how was I going to do going from a physical keyboard with plenty of tactile feedback, to a touch screen with none? Two, how was UI responsiveness going to be? Physical,
apple YouTube quality No offense to my friend at YouTube, market dynamics are what they are, but YouTube needs to evolve. With Apple TV now pumping YouTube content to my large HD screen in the house, I need remotely decent video quality. The cheap pixelated gunk that YouTube sends isn't going
rant Down with Apple stores! I'm a huge Apple fan. I love nearly everything they do. I even really like Apple stores as long as I'm not trying to buy something. They're beautiful showcases and demo areas; but, it ends there. I've stopped going to my local
apple annoyed rant#2: Apple OSX Leopard The day OSX Leopard came out I upgraded two of my machines to the new OS. I've blogged in the past about how insanely wonderful OSX upgrades are, however this time it has not been pretty. Sadly, both machines have problems post upgrade. One of them can'
apple iPhone, Safari, Mobile Apps, and mobile carriers. Apple did it! Hosted mobile applications on the iPhone are powerful and useful. We've long desired a useful browser on a mobile device, but no-one has pulled it off; until now. I've been involved in many efforts to wedge a full-blown browser onto tiny solid-state devices;
apple Smaller is better! We used the release of the new aluminum body iMac's from Apple as an excuse to finally get rid of our previous generation 24" iMac. We secretly (eventually not so secretly) hated it all along and I'm so glad to be getting the new smaller
