Objectified Doco

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

This Doco looks really good I think.

Like so many of these things we may never actually get the chance to purchase it, but I would love one of these. When are they going to realise that there is a market for these things and so many of us can’t wait. I love my little VW Golf Diesel but I would ditch it in a second for one of these Peapods, and not just because it has built in support for my iPhone.

Spread Firefox Please!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Ok so I don’t use Firefox as my main browser because I am a Mac user but Firefox is a great browser for both the Mac Lovers and especially Windows users. It is more secure – those annoying popup windows that dial you in to other internet providers will stop. You will get less viruses. It is also a better browsing experience. It shows you web pages in the way that the designer intended. I do a bit of web design and Internet Explorer is the worst. All IE users should be downloading Firefox, you have no idea what you are missing. You may have even come to accept mediocre as normal and this could be spilling over into the rest of your life. It’s not worth it, set yourself free and make my job easier, because the more of you that use Firefox the less web designers have to care about coding for IE.

It is said that a web designer spends 20% of his time designer for every other browser and 80% of his time then getting that same design to work properly in Internet Explorer. I think we can all agree that the internet offers some really cool things, but they only got there because of designers putting the time onto these cool things. How much time is being wasted? How much innovation are we missing out on because Microsoft made a crap Web Browser that most of the world got sucked into using??? But I digress… this was not meant to be an IE bash, but who can resist.

Sometime tomorrow starts Firefox Download day. They are releasing their latest version (FREE) and trying to get the whole world to download it, increase there market share, free you from IE and maybe just make it into the Guinness Book of Records for the most copies of a software downloaded in a day.

iPhone Killers

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

iphone iPhone Killers is a term that you are going to start hearing a lot. I am going to tell you now that there is no such thing. In fact everytime someone says ‘iphone killer’ they are saying iPhone and that is good marketing for Apple because it keeps telling everyone that the iPhone is so good that it is the only one to try to beat. It also doesn’t promote the product that is being reviewed. It promotes the iPhone, then shows you something it has already told you is less than the iPhone.

If I was Blackberry (for example) I would be begging, even buying off every newspaper to get them not to use ‘iphone killer’ when reviewing my product. If any of these products are going to have a chance they are going to need to stand on their own two legs, assuming they have legs to stand on.

So what do I know? Firstly. Name me an iPod Killer that succeeded! Secondly. I have personally experienced the iPhone for the past 3+ months and I am left with two things to say about it:

1. There has never been a device where the only thing that you can believe, is the hype.

2. The novelty doesn’t wear off. It is simply replaced by lifestyle integration.

The iPhone is coming and whether you want one or need one if you get one you will use it and you will love it.
