30-Sep-14

Lots of food for thought in this essay. In the end, I’m not sure what the author is getting at – how can we both continue the advance of knowledge but acknowledge limits?

iPhones days numbered?

11-Jan-12

 If history (Apple history, that is) is any indication, something new will be along soon that incorporates all of the functionality of the device and more.  What that is, I lack the imagination to…well, imagine.  This could explain why I am not a millionaire.  Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet […]
