Always check the signal It doesn’t matter who it is, from the lowly application developer to the mobile network operator, they all fail at this point.

The “Cloud” has been a metaphor for the internet for probably as long as it existed (according ...

Last night after the Mobilize conference, I had a great time meeting attendees from all over. Andy Abramson was one of those and we spent a good fifteen minutes talking mobile tech. Andy lives such a mobile lifestyle that it was awesome to discuss new tools he's using. When he asked me if I had heard of Dropcard, I had to say no; it hadn't hit my radar yet. Turns out it was such a ...

Developers like Frasier Speirs and Dave Winer are protesting Apple’s rejection of some iPhone applications, and saying they will no longer develop on the platform (let’s leave aside the fact that as far as I know Winer never developed for the iPhone in the first place). The problem is that Apple rejects the applications only after they’re built and ready to roll into the app store. And recently Apple has moved beyond rejecting applications on ...

Earlier this week I received this particular “Precautionary End-User Irresponsible Internet Slicing Emergency Accident Kit” packed with more band-aids than I’ve ever used in my entire life. Why?
