   Web site producers tend to be practical. Those that use Flash do so not because they’re Flash proponents, but because Flash is easy and ubiquitous. ^{link »}

   Used to be you could argue that Flash, whatever its merits, delivered content to the entire audience you cared about. That’s no longer true, and Adobe’s Flash penetration is shrinking with each iPhone OS device Apple sells. ^{link »}

   What’s Hulu going to do? Sit there and wait? Whine about the blue boxes? Or do the practical thing and write software that delivers video to iPhone OS? ^{link »}

   Hulu isn’t a Flash site, it’s a video site. ^{link »}

   Explicit grouping is useful only when you need to create a sense of place, a trick most easily accomplished in virtual environment by articulating a membership, and a history. Collaboration does not need place, it needs energy. ^{link »}

   The tragedy of the iPad is that it truly seems to offer a better model of computing for many people – perhaps the majority of people. Gone are the confusing concepts and metaphors of the last thirty years of computing. Gone is the ability to endlessly tweak and twiddle towards no particular gain ^{link »}

   if I had an iPad rather than a real computer as a kid, I’d never be a programmer today. ^{link »}

   The future of personal computing that the iPad shows us is both seductive and dystopian. ^{link »}

   human beings have a problem with perfection. We all think we want it. We sort of strive for it. But when we get it, we sort of die a little. We stop moving. We grow restless. We get depressed. ^{link »}

    Oh Internets, how I love your unrealistic optimism, your pervasive cynicism, your willingness to believe any rumor, no matter how far fetched, and your desire to pronounce judgment on things with the tiniest amount of actual information. ^{link »}
