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: Rant
Yesterday, Apple released its earnings report for the March quarter. Did they announce an iWatch? No. Did they announce an iTV? No. But analysts trotted out their favorite imaginary Apple product. The iDon't-Give-A-Rat's-What-Your-Report-Says-I'm-Gonna-Paint-It-Red. I...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: And What of iTunes?

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Peaceful, Uneasy Feeling
It's been slightly over a week since SNL aired its skit with a panel of 'high-profile bloggers' facing three Foxconn workers. The first time I viewed it, I was doubled over. It was one the funniest, yet most pointed pieces of writing to come out of SNL in years. 'Oh!...
