parislemon: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things →

parislemon: A lot of people have asked for my take on The New York Times piece yesterday about the true cost of making Apple products in China. Let me first just say that it’s an important piece full of good reporting by Charles Duhigg and David Barboza. Parts of it are very sad — sickening, really. But…

Building the next generation file system for...

Building the next generation file system for Windows: ReFS We wanted to continue our dialog about data storage by talking about the next generation file system being introduced in Windows 8. Today, NTFS is the most widely used, advanced, and feature rich file system in broad use. But when you’re reimagining Windows, as we are for Windows 8, we don’t rest on past successes, and so with Windows...

Why I Hate Android

parislemon: Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse. I should probably explain. Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That...

Siri, go make me coffee.

You can just tell your boss that you were late because your iPhone was not working as expected.

flowowy: 9034725985 replied to your post: Rant. I am just curious. Is an attack on muslims the same as an attack on Islam to you? If you think the two are not the same thing, which one do you find more offensive? I am not trying to argue with you. I am just curious. An attack on… Here is my question to people who read my tumblr: Does it offend you when someone considers you to not be...

The "Highest Quality" Google Tablet →

parislemon: I have no doubt that Google is working on some kind of “Nexus” tablet — they have to be. To say Android’s entrance into the tablet space has been a flop is a vast understatement. Google needs to get on top of this situation. And fast — Amazon, not Google, is leading now leading the “Android” tablet race. With that in mind, it shouldn’t be too surprising to hear that Google may be...

yellowmeansgo: At the station, the three Aussies each buy a ticket and watch as the three New Zealanders buy just one ticket between them. “How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?” asks one of the Aussies. “Watch and learn,” answers one of the New Zealanders. They all board the train. The Aussies take their respective seats but all three New Zealanders cram into a toilet...

On Second Thought (Kokology #46)

yellowmeansgo: It’s not easy to make up a story, it’s a chore to make up the bed in the guestroom, and it takes patience and forgiveness to make up after a fight, but sometimes the hardest thing to make up is your mind. Get ready to be decisive, because in this next scenario we’re going to ask you to do just that. You’re seated in a quiet diner. You flip open the menu and are pondering your...

The Windows Phone Problem In Three Words: Way Too...

parislemon: Earlier today, Charlie Kindel, a former Windows Phone GM, posted some thoughts on why Windows Phone hasn’t taken off. Essentially, he blames Microsoft’s model pressuring both OEMs and carriers — so much so that neither really wants to push the platform. Perhaps not surprisingly, I largely agree with his criticisms of Android. He believes Google’s platform has completely laid down...

Pay To Stay

parislemon: I’ve been thinking more about Google’s renewal of their search deal with Mozilla for Firefox. It’s fascinating on a few different levels. Most notably: Google is committing close to a billion dollars to bankroll a browser which is a rival to their own browser. Why? Well, on the surface, they do get something out of the deal — something quite substantial. Firefox is a browser...
