I have been a bit radio silent for the past couple of weeks and wanted to chime in on all the WWDC stuff. As this is belated, most things have already been said/written so this post will only contain a few points that I haven’t heard already. Lion Mail is worth the 30 bucks alone. […]

This particular suit appears to have little to do with Android since Apple’s complaint revolves around design similarities with Samsung’s hardware, packaging, and TouchWiz application drawer. In 2010, Samsung’s full year revenue from mobile was roughly $37 billion vs. $33.8 billion from the semiconductor division; however, profits from mobile were less than half at $3.9 […]
To be fair, Comma had it rough growing up. Always being compared to his older, more established cousin. How do you follow Period!? Nothing follows Period!
