Nokia Resorts to FUD Ads

April 5, 2012 by jbb

What does it mean when an advertiser begins his campaign by knocking the other product about issues over two-years old? I thought making the consumer think about the market leader (not your product) was a bad thing. This week Nokia, following phone-partner Microsoft’s lead, dropped a series of FUD ads purporting to be secret behind-the-scenes [...]

Loving the Line (Even When I’m Not In It)

March 19, 2012 by jbb

Regent Street Apple Store, London by Craig (@flawlessfox)

In the early hours of Friday morning I was delighted to stumble across tweets and blog posts about the lines that had been forming around the world of mac fans looking to buy the new iPad when their local stores were set to open at 8 A.M. Long the object of ridicule, I’ve come to [...]

iCloud Photostream Gets a C-minus

October 29, 2011 by jbb

When I first heard about iCloud’s photostreaming feature I was really hoping that I’d finally have a much better workflow for my photos than being tied to my iPhoto library that was getting much too big for my little macbook air’s little SSD. Sure enough, once I got my macbook air, 27-inch iMac, iPhone [...]

Book Book for iPhone

September 7, 2011 by jbb

This is kind’a scary. Long ago I decided that I should not be ashamed of my continual attraction to computer/iPad/iPhone cases any more than what I’ve noted of the attraction of my female friends to all things shoes and accessories. So here’s my latest acquisition in the world of iPhone 4 cases, the Book Book [...]

iPhone 4 Antenna-gate – Get Over It!

July 28, 2010 by jbb

Earlier I retweeted the following: Have you ever noticed 95% of the time: People who hate Macs have never owned one, People who hate PCs have owned one. (thanks @gracesmith @CMoz). Only problem with the observation is that over 95% of the world’s experiences with personal computers are Windows computers, so the default is to [...]

iPhone4 vs HTC Evo AND HTC vs iPhone4

July 17, 2010 by jbb

No too surprising that these two videos have gone viral. There’s something very irrational about fans and haters. What’s even more illogical is that the video creator got fired from Best Buy because his First Amendments rights didn’t fit BB’s weak ass corporate culture. I bet he would have suffered the same plight had he [...]

Apple iPad Announced: Oh My God, It Doesn’t Have a Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper!

February 16, 2010 by jbb

I love CNET. It’s one tech news source where I can find everything from straight tech journalism to flawed editorials on the latest things happening in the tech world. Take the overhyped announcement of the iPad a little bit ago, CNET provided the following excellent straight news reporting on the event:

RollTop Laptop – Answering Yesterday’s Laptop Design Shortcomings

November 1, 2009 by jbb

What could we do if we had flexible display materials? As advanced as the tech seems, it still might not fly because the rolled up size still seem too big when one thinks about how small and thin and light-weight the Apple Macbook Air, the Sony Vaio X- and P-series and the various netbooks already [...]

iPhone bsod

July 20, 2009 by jbb

Given how much I rag on anything Microsoft, it only seems fair to note when things go very bad for Apple products. Here’s one that really doesn’t need a blog post, but I couldn’t help myself. Eileen Rivera, from Revision3, posted the above image of her faltering iPhone on her posterous blog with the explanatory [...]
