Apple’s Real Problem With The White iPhone 4 — Well, Potentially

Zero To One

With Garza’s no-hitter today, there have been 5 no-hitters this season. Even crazier is that this is only one fewer than the number of one-hitters this year, apparently. And one of those was Armando Galarraga’s (should-have-been) perfect game.

On The Score

Like just about everyone else on the planet, I saw Inception last week when it opened. Then I saw it again two days later. I love that movie. But one of the main reasons I love it isn’t so conventional.

Sure, I love the writing, which manages to make an almost impossibly complex story (at least somewhat) understandable for mainstream appeal. And the acting is good, the action is good, the directing is good, etc. But what I really love is the score and the sound.

Facebook and Twitter is what we aspire to be. We want to be one of the three big players in the social Internet and we have a shot at it.

FourSquare co-founder Dennis Crowley

He goes on to note that:

Mobile and location are a bridge between the online and offline world.

Which is exactly what I wrote back in November.

And he talks about “check-in fatigue” — a term I think I coined back in March.

Basically, Foursquare is awesome and so am I.
