XML Maven Goes to Google to Fight the iPhone

XML co-creator Tim Bray has fled Sun and Oracle – where he says he could have stayed – for Google Android and the title developer advocate to stick it to iPhone, which he labels a closed “sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord’s pleasure and fear his anger. I hate it….Apple apparently thinks you can have the benefits of the Internet while at the same time controlling what programs can be run and what parts of the stack can be accessed and what developers can say to each other. I think they’re wrong and see this job as a chance to help prove it.” He’s staying in Canada.

Ulitzer Will Never Leave You For Thailand

Sat lonely in my office, I remembered about a website that did everything that ‘Dan the Mexican’ could do and more, a site that pushed our message out to a bespoke and targeted audience, a site that supplied me with just as valuable information as ‘Dan the Mexican’ would give me during a working day and more importantly Ulitzer would not go on holiday for two weeks to Thailand. Ulitzer 1 : 0 Dan the Mexican

French Government Bans Use of "2.0"

President Nicholas Sarkozy of France has signed into law new legislation that outlaws use of the term “2.0” in France and all of its holdings around the world. “This imbecilic term led so many people, in the business and consumer sectors, to hold a false impression of the truth of the world,” Sarkozy said in an official statement. “It was proven without doubt in 2001 that there is no such thing as a new economy; today we can say without contradiction there exists no possibility of applying the term ‘2.0’ to anything that is viable or comprehensible.” Sarkozy added, “This vacuous term led to the global economic meltdown in 2008-09.” The legislation itself notes that “the idea of ‘2.0 thinking’ led to overconfidence among entrepreneurs building a so-called New Economy 10 years ago. “Then, after the dot-com bubbleburst (éclat de soufflé in French) the term returned immediately, being used ubiquitously to justify risk in financial instruments and machinations that proved to be untenable and catastrophic.”

Journey to the iPad Launch: Day #4 - T minus 2

iPad - T minus 2 days... Wake the Crew and Strap Them In, its going to be a great ride! Oh come on, as if the potential iPad owners can sleep... I think they will be like kids at Christmas time, waiting anxiously.... So close but still so far ;-) I imagine a cross section of iPhone users will become iPad users as well. They already run their Mobile Lifestyle with iPhone in hand, but long for something to complement in addition, not replace, but extend...with the same innovative design & UI. Then there will be the new users that WILL already see what they can achieve with a device like the iPad.
