Today after reading an article about how the fruit company plans to introduce continuity as an innovation, I just chuckled to myself. Again, the fruit folks are sitting there watching all the innovation going on in Ubuntu and scrambling to try to take the ideas, recode them on their own locked down proprietary systems, and implement them for profit.

Google forced by Europe to remove search results?
All I can say is ‘beware’ if this European ruling against Google gains traction. All of the pain mentioned in this BBC article will become real including, but not limited to: censored information like China abuse of power by those with money to fight in court (ie. a company with a lot of money could have the whistle blowing work…
Un-social Media your Blog Comments, Man.
You may notice in my post that you are reading now, that you can post your comments below. It doesn’t matter who you are, you can try.

The first time I put it on my mobile device I was mesmerized by the way it, without any involvement of my own, loaded a contact list of people I knew who were using it, or not. I was mesmerized until I thought about…
Ubuntu Touch Poised to Enter Market with New Smart Phone Partner
It is not often that one can be slightly ahead of a major change or curve. I like to document these moments in a blog post. Bit Coin was my last one. People thought I was crazy to accept Bit Coin at my coffee shop and just a few months (not years) afterwards people were coming back and asking, “how…
A Better Craigslist Selling System
Have you ever felt that Craigslist is a great system but a little difficult to manage in regards to keeping track of photos and content – especially when it doesn’t sell right away? It’s easy when you price something dirt cheap but sometimes you are trying to sell something that you want to get a little more money for or…
