Daring Fireball Linked List: Ed Baig: 'The First... →
I love how Baig, Pogue, and Mossberg get review units before everyone else, and race to publish their reviews. Where by “love” I of course mean “hate”.
I’m wondering at what point Apple realizes that most of the people who buy their devices first don’t read Mossberg, Pogue, or Baig?
It would be interesting to see traffic comparisons showing if more people read recaps of the reviews...

Apple's iPhone 4.0 to support multitasking via... →
Those familiar with the design of iPhone 4.0 said that the user interface will resemble Apple’s desktop Expose feature, in that a key combination — reportedly hitting the Home button twice — will trigger an expose-like interface that brings up a series of icons representing the currently running apps, allowing users to quickly select the one they want to switch to directly. When...

Daring Fireball Linked List: Pageview Pumping →
John Gruber responds to my post on Pageview Pumping saying I come close, but fall short. He argues that using pageviews to bill advertisers is a scam.
For the most part, I actually agree. The problem, which I (admittedly weakly) tried to get across is that there is simply no better way anyone has come up with yet to solve this problem.
That’s not to say I don’t want someone to. Of...

On Pageview Pumping
There was an interesting Bitchmeme this weekend between Henry Blodget of Business Insider and Felix Salmon of Reuters. It’s interesting because it’s the same back-and-forth argument that’s been going on for years. And it’s likely to continue going on for years. Actually, it’s not even really an argument. It’s just bitching. Bitching about pageviews. And...

Verizon Wireless Launches App Store Of Its Own |... →
Verizon has a great network, but their operating systems, UI, etc, have all be awful over the years. I suspect this will be no different. And it will bomb.

The just-released Reeder Version 2.0 is awesome. Finally, a good Google Reader native app for the iPhone.
Find it here in the App Store ($2.99)

On Tumblr, A Fresh Start
As I suspect most people who blog as a profession will tell you, it can be hard to keep up a personal blog too. I’m just as guilty of this as anyone. So I’ve decided to switch things up.
Over the years, I’ve run my personal blog on a couple different platforms, Blogger, and then WordPress. Now I’m going to try Tumblr. Why? because I like its simplicity. And they’ve...
