The iPad's Five Flaws, and Why They Don't Matter
It's probably inevitable that after a product, any product, gets as much pre-announcement hype as has the Apple iPad, it's only a day or two later that you start reading about what the product doesn't have and why it therefore must fail. No one knows yet whether the iPad will succeed. But although many of the ...
How the iPad Will Change Mobile Computing
When Apple unveiled the iPad last week, most everyone saw the device as an update to the tableta mobile computing form factor than has been around for nearly 20 years. The device is, in a sense, a more consumer-friendly version of the tablets we've been seeing for the past two decades, but the iPad will have ...
Chrome Climbs Above 5 Percent of Users; Firefox Stalls
After passing Apple's Safari just a month ago to become third most widely used Web browser, Google's Chrome browser has now topped the 5 percent mark, according to data from Net Applications. Chrome was the top gainer during the period, with more than a half percentage point increase, rising from 4.63 percent in December to 5.20 ...
The Day the Tech World Stood Still
Over the past three months, people of all walks of life have asked me about the Apple tablet.

Will the iPad Kill the Kindle? Of Course Not
Will the iPad Kill the Kindle? That's a question that lots of people have asked me since yesterday's Apple announcement. In many respects, it's representative of a belief that all markets are zero-sum: that for one to succeed, the other needs to fail. But I don't really believe that. Tablets and e-readers may well end up ...
Has Twitter Peaked?
With every Internet fad's rise to fame, there must be a slow decline into mediocrity. Xanga, Friendster, and MySpace have all enjoyed a quick rise in fame and fortune only to be yesterday's news in a few short years. Twitter's rock-star status may be beginning its decline, since the middle of last year when the number ...
What's the Apple iPad's Killer App?
I'm no Apple fanboy, but seeing Steve Jobs on stage in person is exciting, and it isn't just about his personal magnetism. Apple has $29 billion in the bank and Steve seems determined to spend it building really cool stuff. The iPad certainly fits that bill. Just a little slab of a display lets you play ...
Apple's Ipad: Do You Want It? We Do. Maybe.
A “magical" device. That's what Apple chief executive Steve Jobs called the new iPad. Execs from the company said it so often that I began to imagine pixie-dust falling from the ceiling of the Yerba Buena Art Center, landing gently on our throbbing skulls and slowly but surely lulling us into the belief that Jobs and ...
