Reading of the Apple tea leaves

I was reading Jeff Kirvin's blog today and he had a very interesting take on the possible "ITablet" and why Apple has been channeling Microsoft lately. The short version is that he thinks the whole lockdown of the iPhone and the crippling of the iTouch may be to make the "iTablet" with a SDK and open platform more attractive and to basically allow Steve Jobs to reach into your pocket a third time in 12 months or so. The site is www.jeffkirvin.net.

For those of you not familiar with Jeff, he has a long history as a Palm and WM PDA/phone pundit on Writing on Your Palm and 1SRC and was the founder of the 1src pod cast that was the first (or at least one of the first) Palm/PDA podcasts.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
