Stating the plain truth, that the iPad 2 has no serious competition as a mainstream consumer device, doesn’t make you biased. It makes you accurate.
Any more, we don’t need quotes from the articles by these yahoos. Just reference Walt Mossberg and we know it’s going to be full of crap.
Also, his site is a horrible experience without the help of Readability or Instapaper.
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.
I’m getting sloppy with my “This Week in Browsing” posts. I’ll try to do better, because this is info I want to catalog, and it’s info that I think needs to be shared.
The 3rd and the 7th, a short film by Alex Roman – Absolutely amazing. (via Gruber)
Computers are Dumb – Make Smarter Learning – Good article. I am increasingly frustrated with lame interactions in e-Learning. You’d think that we’d have something better by now.
This quote is the key:
“Don’t just have your learners interact with the computer — have them interact with other people.”
Validation, collaboration, accountability, etc. are better defined, delivered and received by humans. Use the computer to deliver some content – use humans to deliver the rest.
Dreaming of an Apple Tablet – I’m in the same boat. 95% of the time, my Macbook Pro is a desktop. But I need it to be portable that other 5%, and I want all my music, files, photos, etc. when I’m on the go. Not sure where I’m headed with my setup.
An Amalgamation of Predictions and Questions Regarding the Apple Tablet – Amalgamation, indeed. Thorough and thoughtful.
Viewing PDFs in a Browser on a Mac – Good stuff from Philip – I’m tired of Adobe.
Daring Fireball: Another Example of Why ‘Cult of Mac’ Is Held in Such High Esteem
What’s important to Apple about this process isn’t that it makes laptops cheaper. It’s that it makes them better at the same prices.
One of the best lines I’ve read, ever, about Apple. So true.
