As I've mentioned in many recent posts, I have moved twice over the last two years. Which results in a lot of packing and unpacking. Seeing as I've been writing reviews, podcasting, opining and such about third party Apple hardware and software over the past decade or...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Hiatus
By now, you no doubt have read of Macworld/iWorld's hiatus. My immediate feeling is that my family has been taken from me. I also feel like an era may have come to an end. 'Hiatus' ordinarily suggests a return sometime in the future, soon or down-the-road. But as we...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Wait A Tick! I'm My Father's Mac!
When I first started using computers, it was a lot like my early forays into dating. I was always in the dark and there was a lot of fumbling about. But then I was introduced to the Mac. The computer for the rest of us. Or, put another way, not your father's computer...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: The Day That Wall St. Grew Up
Once upon a time, or perhaps twice, there was a special place built of gold where borrowers and lenders of various sorts and sizes would gather daily to transact all manner of business. This place was known as Wall Street. And rightly so, as an invisible wall had been...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Emergency Kit
Due to recent events that would make for a riveting feature film (the part of Frank Petrie will be played by Jack Black), I spent an inordinate amount of 2013 in hospital and rehab. But I learned that I could still carry on socially and professionally with a bit of...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: One Finger Gesture
What's it been, nearly a year now? And Microsoft still hasn't gotten the hang of how to produce an effective commercial to drive people to their products. Let's start with the "Click" ads. Apparently, the Microsoft Surface made a much more distinctive click sound with...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Breathe Deep
I finally got around to watching the WWDC keynote in its entirety this past weekend. I was braced for the worst from the tweets I read and headings that I saw on MacSurfer. Imagine my surprise that when the keynote was finished I was elated! Tim Cook was at ease and...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: And What of iTunes?
During the Jurassic era (technologically speaking), Apple released iTunes, an app where you could find all of your media located in one spot. A great app at the time. But it has definitely outlived its effectiveness. There is now up to a plethora of podcatchers, out...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore
Okay, it's started simply enough. Apple has lost it's "cool" factor. Then it was Apple is no longer innovative. Then the analysts started piling on (my friend reminds me that you can't spell analyst without 'anal'). But now this takes the cake. This is an actual...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: The Bad Penny Returns
The famous story goes that Steve Jobs, then chief at Apple Computer, asked John Sculley if he wanted to change the world or spend the rest of his life selling sugar water. Sculley would eventually force Jobs out in 1985, oversee a large period of growth for Apple and...
