“Apple is a software company that makes hardware out of necessity. The software side of a modern computing platform is far more difficult and expensive to create and maintain than the hardware. Anyone can cobble together the same processors, DRAM, flash, and radios as Apple, put them into a plastic case, and run a commodity OS on them with slight front-end customizations. But not everyone can create an entire software platform.”

Great article from Marco. If you don’t read his blog, you’re missing out.

Listen, dudes: the history of consumer tech is branching, not replacing.

I’ve been busy. Haven’t had an interesting links post in a while. Here ya go.

I’m Comic Sans, Asshole – Brilliant and funny. (via Gruber)

‘First to Do It’ vs. ‘First to Do It Right’ – solid explanation of the difference between adding features for the sake of having features, and adding features that let you do something your customer/user wants and/or needs to do. Same could be said for a lot of websites.

World Cup Preview – Short Edition – Short, funny and fairly accurate summaries of each of the 32 teams.

“While compiling this preview, I forgot about Greece and had to look them up when I realized I was one country short.”

The Lame iPad Camera Connection Kit – I’m still shocked there’s not an iPhoto Lite for the iPad.

More Adobe accessibility screw-ups – why? Seems I ask that a lot about Adobe these days.

First off, I can’t get enough of Pogue. He’s real, he’s honest, and he’s funny as hell.

A First Look at Googles New Phone

I didn’t know about T-Mobile’s lame 3G coverage. We’ll see how fast they ramp that up before I jump.

Google Android Phone Launches – I’m In Line

I held off on the iPhone 3G when it was initially launched. I came very close to pulling the trigger several times, but decided not to get one. Part of my hesitation was that I wanted to see what Google came up with in Android when they announced their new phone from T-Mobile. It’s now official, T-Mobile now has the G1, the first Android phone. I’m on the waitlist for it to replace my Blackberry Curve.
