@kdfrawg I was wondering what they'd do once they finally walked Balmer off the plank. Never thought they'd jump right in with both feet and do "right things"

Remembering when people derided Miguel De Icaza. He who laughs last..

It's so annoying that Microsoft are they only ones that are doing things I find interesting.

Watching a developer video on Xamerin to balance out the Apple stuff.

I don't know who this person is but I bet Bjork and Lady Gaga are going to be found on cider blocks in an alley.

@kdfrawg A Volvo I test drove in 2007 really shocked me, performance-wise. About bought it right then and there but decided to get my 740 over 500,000 miles first. When it finally kicked the bucket, I bought a Chevy Cobalt because I could just pay cash for it and was in a hurry. Dumb move. Hated that car.

Experiencing the tribulations of getting the 486 to 50 Mhz then 66 Mhz only to see a quad core that's an order of magnitude faster, smaller than a Cheerio and can almost be powered by running barefoot on carpet.

It's fascinating when a device's raison detre becomes a afterthought.

I think it would be interesting to have Jony Ive narrate a McDonalds commercial.

"Superior placement of sesame seeds and buns made to painstaking tolerances make for a delightful hamburger experience…"

When I was little, I thought a world changing technology would be flying cars or teleportation. My young self would have been crushed to learn that it was to be a phone.
