A fine line
If a journalist published a detailed enough description of the 4G iPhone to prove that he had held one, yet didn’t reveal how, would Apple sic the space cops on him? I believe Gizmodo crossed a line, but at this point I’d be afraid to be a journalist with real sources inside Apple. Where is that line between brave journalism and stupidity? Is it just the cash involved? Would there even...

Holding an iPad (because Twitter is not IM)
I made the following statement on Twitter regarding people’s reaction to Apple’s iPad:
The “wait until you hold one” argument about iPad should really go both ways.
I’m talking about those people who have publicly committed to buying an iPad when they are released (having never held one) and who also criticize or subtly mock those “Apple haters” who have...

“The tech industry will be in paroxysms of future shock for some time to come. Many will cling to their January-26th notions of what it takes to get “real work” done; cling to the idea that the computer-based part of it is the “real work”. It’s not. The Real Work is not formatting the margins, installing the printer driver, uploading the document, finishing the...
