All we’ve heard for the past year-plus is how Android is killing it. The phones are taking over the world. And that’s true — from a unit perspective. But from an actual business perspective, things are decidedly murkier. Google says they’re making a good amount of money as a result of Android, but it’s clearly nothing compared to their main business. The carriers are doing well too —...

This morning, Microsoft made waves with a big move: they’re pulling out of CES. Frank Shaw, Microsoft’s head of communications, made the announcement on the company blog, noting that this year’s CES (which is in a few weeks) would be the last one featuring both a Microsoft keynote and even a Microsoft booth.
Like Apple before them, Microsoft apparently decided to move on from the...

As you’ve probably heard by now, Heather Harde — my boss for the past three years or so — has quit AOL. There’s not much more to say beyond what Mike already has. This is just really sad — sad because it never should have gone down this way.
Heather was far and away the best boss I ever…

I happen to be in Paris at LeWeb where Eric Schmidt spoke today. I missed the talk, though several blogs summarized the more interesting bits. Namely, Schmidt seems to really believe that Android development will overtake iOS development in the next 6 months.
This is, of course, crazy talk.
John Gruber hits on the first key point that Google doesn’t seem to comprehend:

Ever since Facebook executives told me that they planned on using early adopters to train others how to implement and manage their Facebook Timelines, I’ve been imagining different scenarios where this might play out. Some, I realize, are more whimsical than others. I guess it’s unlikely a po…
The iOS 5.0.1 OTA Update →

Fraser Speirs:
This morning, I updated 37 iPads from iOS 5 to iOS 5.0.1 in less than two hours. I set them out on a table and walked down the line hitting “update” on each, then walked away.
Job done.
After all is said and done, this may actually be my favorite thing about iOS 5. OTA updates just work and are fast as hell.
Best of all, no computer required. This will mean a...

Too Damn Small
parislemon:
It sure seems like pretty much everyone agrees on one thing Apple got wrong with iOS 5: the close buttons in Notification Center are way, way, way too small. I too misclick nearly every time.
The weird thing is that they’ve been too small since the very first beta of iOS 5 several months ago. Apple had a lot of time to change them, and they didn’t. That’s not an oversight, that’s a...

On The Next Venture (@parislemon)

I’ve been thinking about how I was going to write this post for a while now. Of course, I didn’t anticipate that I would be writing at 2 AM local time in London, where I’m currently visiting to speak at FOWA in a couple of days (that talk also just potentially got more interesting).
Stuff happens. Fortunately, sometimes, so does jetlag.
Enough with burying the lede: yes, I’m...
