I think I'm up on techie things, but I'm sometimes a little slow to see their complete worth. My four year-old iPod touch had been worn out by use and abuse, and I recently bought a new one, the 5G version.

From the link below, it's beginning to look a lot like the first year or so of Steve Jobs' return to Apple in 1996. Wonder what Tim Cook is up to. Did Jobs leave something of an empty shell behind? Highly-paid sycophants? (The Apple TV makes me think the brain trust was drying up).

Is that an inane statement, or what? Isn't that just a polite way to say, he'll lie?

Walter Isaacson spoke recently at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco about his new biography of Steve Jobs. It is a thoroughly researched account of an unusual man, some say 'genius.' No offense to Mr. Isaacson or Mr. Jobs, but I'm going to pass on reading the book.
This has nothing to do with...

Insult, it seems to me, was added to injury yesterday in the sad story of Ronald Wayne. Wayne, the man who owned 10% of Apple Computers for less than two weeks before he sold his share, which would now be worth roughly $2,000,000,000.00, for $2300.00. He’d lost money in another...

“ The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates. ”
— Oscar Wilde
Malcom Gladwell titles his book review of Walter Isaacson’s biography Steve Jobs in the November 14, 2011 issue of The New Yorker “The Tweaker.” The tag line: Jobs’s sensibility was more...
