The future of Siri

October 26, 2011

Oh yes: Siri could be the interface to future products, like tiny little Nano-sized devices, or home entertainment systems.

August 3, 2009

Louis Gray thinks standalone feed readers are dead, including NetNewsWire “Yes, NetNewsWire is still around, and now points to Google Reader, but it’s pretty much a legacy app at this point.

Is Apple recession proof? The answer is “no”, but…

Instead, the version which it ships in the Home/Student edition doesn’t include support for Exchange servers – it’s POP and IMAP only. If you [...]

July 22, 2008
