Can someone please tell financial analysts to shut the fuck up?
Leonid Kanopka, writing for Seeking Alpha in November, two months ago:
Apple is a great company with wonderful products, but its run is up. It seems to me that innovation is beginning to run dry, and the stock price is overinflated. The stock has begun to fall already dropping from its $426 high. If the economy does not pick up...
Apple Outsider » Hollywood Still Hates You →
Hollywood continues to completely ignore that lesson. It continues to punish the people who play by the rules with an insufferable customer experience. This is the sole reason piracy is up and profits are down: because doing it right totally sucks. And that’s apparently how the studios want it.
Yep. So sad.
A "Holy Fucking Shit" Quarter →
MG Siegler:
Remember back in October when after a rare “miss” by Apple (which was only a miss because analysts are stupid and lazy), the early signs pointed to the potential of a $40 billion quarter? Some thought that was insane given that Apple had never even had a $30 billion quarter before. Well, turns out that projection was a little insane — insanely low.
Try a $46.33 billion quarter.

Research without Motion: Old guys replaced by new... →
This is pretty sad. I remember owning my first Blackberry back in 2005. It was a Blackberry 8700g, and it was amazing. I had owned a number of Nokia phones before, and colleagues from other countries had recently started to get Blackberries for work. Whenever I saw how they could receive email in real time, I was completely amazed and jealous. When we finally got them I was instantly addicted. The...
The next SOPA – Marco.org →
Marco Arment:
The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as stupid eyeballs with wallets, and they are entitled to a constant stream of our money. They despise us, and they certainly don’t respect us.
Unfortunately, this is true.
The Assclownification Of The MPAA →
MG Siegler just nails it.
The truth is that the Internet, like all the other technologies before it, is a transformative tool that could scale the film industry to new heights (in terms of both popularity and profit). But such an end requires some work and some rethinking.
Namely, because the barriers to entry for distributing and accessing content have been significantly lowered, the prices...

RIM reportedly prepping two new PlayBook tablets... →
How could RIM pass on this opportunity, after the huge success of the first model?
[…] the 10-inch BlackBerry tablet will reportedly include support for 4G LTE networks when it launches in December.
Oh I guess that changes everything. It will be a hit.
Comments Commentary - Matt Gemmell →
Really enjoyed this post by Matt Gemmell, and I ultimately agree with his conclusion. Enabling or not comments should be a personal decision by the author of the blog. After all, a blog is one’s own personal space to express their thoughts and opinions, and one should have every right decide whether to allow comments or not.
So, to those who see no-comments as a violation of democracy, I...

How is this any different than iOS? →
Steve Troughton-Smith:
Seemingly *major* limitation with WP7 - you can’t build one binary to support multiple versions of the OS? WTF!
In iOS you sometimes get an update to an app that requires a feature that comes with a new version of iOS and you’re stuck without being able to update the app until you update iOS.
Todd Brix:
The rate of apps submitted that take advantage of new...

At this very moment, there are three devices on my desk running what I consider to be the most competitive mobile operating systems: an Apple iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1, a Samsung Nexus S running Android 2.3 (“Gingerbread”), and a Palm Pre 2 running webOS 2.0.1. While the Nexus S may be what one…
