Today’s the day for talking about things in two dimensions, it seems. A co-worker and I were discussing a work situation (not here, fortunately) where things are getting heated and personal. I made the statement “this is what happens when really smart people jump in” and he corrected me: “this is what happens when really [...]

The Right Tool

Eric goes ga-ga over Google Earth. I like eye candy as much as anyone (the visual look of my blog notwithstanding), alas no Mac version yet. But it struck me as odd when Eric said: I’d love to add my personal notes about which restaurants in Portland, Oregon best accomodate two year-olds. Wouldn’t you use [...]

There are a number of links that have heavy underlining — heavier lines than for your average link. Hovering over the link with the mouse causes a “sponsor” pop-up [...]

Eric is right that I didn’t shed any tears over the Accrue tech acquisition by I/PRO. I had a nice chat with Allan Kaplan, CEO of I/PRO, the day before the press release went out. They simply held up on the press release so they could contact all the G2 customers beforehand, but I got [...]

Apple Browser in Nokia Series 60 phones
June 13th, 2005 1 Comment
Hmm … Apple and Nokia inked a deal to put the open source-based Safari web browser into Nokia Series 60 phones.
