It’s taken a beating for favoring its own properties in its core search results. It’s been caught with its hands in Apple’s cookie jar, and despite the fact Facebook and others previously condoned the practice, it was savaged for doing so.

on Feb 26, 2012
It took longer than I thought it would, but it’s finally happened. Apple’s admitted that it needs real search to bring it’s tangled app universe to heel, and purchased Chomp, a leading third-party app review and search service.Will Broader Corporate Adoption of Apple’s iOS Invite Trouble?
on Feb 7, 2012
One of the attractive feature of Apple products in general is the relative insignificance of viruses, malware and overall mischievous behavior by those who like to mess things up for folks in the Internet age. Most of the wrath and venom of hackers and others has been pointed at Microsoft based products because Microsoft is cast as the villain of the tech world, whether it is deserved or not.It’s Not Whether Google’s Threatened. It’s Asking Ourselves: What Commons Do We Wish For?
on Feb 2, 2012
If Facebook’s IPO filing does anything besides mint a lot of millionaires, it will be to shine a rather unsettling light on a fact most of us would rather not acknowledge: The web as we know it is rather like our polar ice caps: under severe, long-term attack by forces of our own creation.
2011 Predictions: How Did I Do?
on Dec 19, 2011
(image) For many years now I’ve made predictions, and for just as many years I review how I did. This is the week I do the reviewing, my predictions for 2012 should arrive around the New Year, assuming I find the right inspiration.
The Internet Big Five
on Dec 7, 2011
As I work on the book, I’ve come to use a shorthand for five companies that I’ve determined are critical drivers of what kind of society we’ll be living in one generation from now. At the moment I’m focused on just Internet companies, though I also plan on looking at other categories, such as energy, food, and health. My terminology has evolved in the past week from “the Five Horsemen” to simply “The Big Five.” I’ve got a few reasons for this. First,Thank You, Steve Jobs
on Nov 17, 2011
Reprinted here from the Cutter Consortium (full publication here), to which I contributed these words: I, like many who have benefitted from the genius of Steve Jobs, can’t imagine what my life would have been like had he stopped pursuing greatness. What would the world be like today if he had given up after being fired from Apple? What if he chose to leave the technology space altogether after such a public dismissal? What if he hadn’t founded NeXT and created the core of the next generation of Macintosh
Claim: Bug Reduces The Security of iOS to That of Android
on Nov 8, 2011
What?!?! Does that headline imply that there is something wrong inside the Apple walled garden that is the perfection that is the iPhone and all things mobile for those that are, well, the coolest of them all? To a degree, yes. One of the biggest selling points that Apple has always had over any other competitor is the virtual non-existence of malware and viruses. Most of that can be contributed to Microsoft hate and Android openness as well as the desire by those who create these kinds of things to takeHow To Make an iPad Version of Your Blog
on Nov 3, 2011
Whether you like it or not, tablet computers seem to be here to stay. Apple confirmed a while ago that it is already selling more iPads than Macs, and commerce sites around the web are noticing a similar trend (i.e., tablet computers are starting to outsell notebooks). Considering this trend it might be a good idea to make sure tablet users can browser your site comfortably. If you are concerned mainly with the iPad you should check an article published on iPad News Hub with tools you can use to make your
Apple’s Earnings Miss Blamed on Rumor Mongering
on Oct 19, 2011
Yesterday something happened that hasn’t happened since 2001. Apple missed its quarterly earnings numbers. It’s an interesting phenomenon because it had nothing to do with the death of Steve Jobs. The company just didn’t sell as many iPhones and iPads as it thought it would. What is also interesting is Apples’ long history of given ridiculously low guidance to stock analysts then turning around and crushing their numbers. Not sure what happened here though. Did Apple finally try to
