iPhoneography, a worthy college course

Dave Parrack — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:41:23 +0000

The first course in iPhoneography, or iPhone photography, is being offered at Kensington and Chelsea College, London. Which I personally think is a fantastic idea.

Veteran photographer Richard Gray is the man behind ‘iPhoneography: An Introduction to Photography with the iPhone’, a [...] Related posts:

Samsung’s Galaxy Note Super Bowl ad designed to tempt Apple fanboys away

Dave Parrack — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:08:52 +0000

How not to tempt Apple fanboys away from their beloved: mock them while trying to sell them a phone/tablet that does neither thing very well.

As a Brit the Super Bowl means nothing to [...] Related posts:

Apple clamps down on App Store fakery

Dave Parrack — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:51:13 +0000

Apple has removed several chart-topping games from the U.S. App Store. All of which are claimed to be copycats of other, better-known titles.

Fear factor: iPhone gains underpin Apple’s growing market power

Ronald O Carlson — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:48:10 +0000

When the iPhone 4S shipped last October, smartphone pundits declared it dead on arrival because it “lacked” 4G LTE, a four-inch display, Near Field Communication (NFC) payment functionality and a range of other checklist features that infest offerings from other vendors, especially Android devices. That string of crowd-sourced wisdom turned out to be [...] Related posts:

Apple fanboys demand ethical iPhone 5

Dave Parrack — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:19:26 +0000

Even the fanboys are starting to see how wrong Apple’s laissez-faire attitude to its supply chain workers is. Wonders will never cease.

Much has been written about Apple’s suppliers and their workforces of late. They’re all in China, naturally, and [...] Related posts:

Well, at least Samsung’s healthy

Many of Apple competitors are having trouble making products people want and, quite naturally, money therefrom. Results from Motorola, LG, Nokia and HTC have all disappointed investors and analysts in recent weeks.

The people need to stand up and be heard, to tell Apple that they want the option to open their ‘i’ devices up by jailbreaking.

The main reason to jailbreak a device is to expand its capabilities. This is especially true of [...] Related posts:

Now who’s biggest? Apple blows by HP

Ronald O Carlson — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:57:48 +0000

Whoa, nelly. Previously, analysts predicted that Apple’s Mac + iPad computers sales would make it the world’s largest “PC” vendor sometime within the first six months of 2012. So much for those rosy expectations — who thought that the Cupertino, California company would double tablet sales last quarter.

Yesterday, Apple reported its [...] Related posts:

Apple: Follow the money to the chips

Ronald O Carlson — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:35:16 +0000

The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Well, maybe someday (eventually). Until then, everyone’s favorite Cupertino, California-based fruit company controls more of the semiconductor market than anyone and that brings with it incredible perhaps unprecedented power over component supply and pricing, as well as ability to deliver products that no one else [...] Related posts:
