Ah, Apple gone and done it now! SXSW debuted this year's hottest social trend: Mass Twitter-steria, and now the 140 character mob has its torches and pitchforks ready to storm Cupertino. Or not. Let's back up a step. Following...

The internet in your pocket. That’s what Steve Jobs and Apple advertising have promised us since Macworld 2007. Not the watered-down WAP internet, the server-pre-rendered kinda-sorta-internet, or the stunted mobile internet. Just... the internet. In large part, they’ve succeeded....

Do you remember when you had a choice between VHS and Betamax (Beta)? If you do, you're at least a Generation X'er (and maybe older, sorry). VHS won the war; a bigger, more cumbersome tape format beat out the...

What does the iPhone lack? Besides the obvious -- 3G, Office Doc editing, the ability to *actually* make julienne fries -- what the iPhone lacks is **games**. Real, on-board games. Some of this pain is mitigated by the fact...
