Jony Ive Heading Software

Can Jony Ive lead a software team? Gruber thinks yes. I think we'll have to wait and see, but signs point to yes.

All the Mashed Potatoes

Daring Fireball: All the Mashed Potatoes: Microsoft gets a lot of heat for not leaving enough on the table for others. My mother, who's English, and quite a character, once said of Bill Gates, "He sounds like someone who would come to your house for dinner and say, ‘Thank you. I think I'll have all […]

Google Versus Everyone

App.net Free Service

App.net's new direction. I still don't see the appeal of app.net. Twitter's been fine, and nobody I want to hear from is exclusively on app.net.

Steve’s Funniest Moments

Sharing on Dropbox

Good stuff: The right way to share a file or bunch of files using Dropbox. I happened to know all of this, and use Dropbox fairly extensively, but it's a short read and you may learn something. Dropbox would really do well to add some sort of ability to let people SEE the contents, use […]
