Before Apple called it's mobile application store 'App Store', nobody used the term as such.
I'm with Apple on this.
Finally!
Thunderbolt is a breakthrough technology.
Welcome to the future...
Having seen Apple nearly collapse in the late 90s, it's amazing to see it become the biggest and most successful turnaround story ever.
The Onion! Hilarious
Amazing sales results!
Google's justification doesn't really add up, and there's a strong chance that the decision will serve only to undermine the use of the <video> tag completely. This is not a move promoting the open web. If anything, it is quite the reverse.
As I see it, Google is doing Adobe a huge favour. This isn't about openness at all. It's all about proprietary stuff. Google is pushing WebM, which it owns. But this will result in more support for Flash, which Adobe owns.
This is major hypocrisy.
In one of James Gosling's article's bullets about the Oracle-Google lawsuit, we find the following nugget (emphasis is mine):
Google did have a financial model that benefited themselves (that they weren't about to share). They were partly planning on revenue from advertising, but mostly they wanted to disrupt Apple's trajectory, and Apple's expected entry into advertising. If mobile devices take over as the computing platform for consumers, then Google's advertising channel, and the heart of its revenue, gets gutted. It doesn't take much of a crystal ball to see where Apple is going, and it's not a pretty picture for Google or anyone else.
Anybody who argue that Google didn't create Android to compete with Apple's iPhone, is deluding themselves.
Some believe Microsoft is being coy about its slate plans. Others simply think the company is being clueless. I think the Redmondians are planting decoys, hoping they’ll provide cover for missteps.
Put me in with those who think that Microsoft is clueless about how to effectively compete with Apple's iPad.
Today, one of the top issues on my mind, hey there's a category -- tablets. Apple has done an interesting job. They've sold more than I'd like them to sell.
Steve Ballmer is a reactive CEO. He hasn't led Microsoft into new markets. During his tenor so far, Microsoft ha only reacted to its competitors moves.
The only merit that this lawsuit has is with unlocking iPhones after the contract is over.
Beyond that, from Apps to exclusivity, it's all hogwash.
