“You have to be willing to do things that the masses wouldn’t do, or I don’t think you will be able to separate yourself from the masses.” Update: I have a very poor vocabulary, and an even worse ability to spell simple words properly! Focus on the "A" above...which I spell ...

Nokia becoming a software company

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Yet another sign that Nokia is becoming a software company. Fully prepared to compete (and compete very well!) with Google entering the mobile software space. They agree to purchase Trolltech for $150m. The point: Nokia is taking its software to other devices and even desktop computers. You will see Nokia ...

A unique fact about Apple

open ID, good and bad

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I just signed up for an openID via VeriSign, mainly because I have about 50 accounts across different internet sites and I'd love to be able to login with using a single username/password.
