Apple Pushes Its Envelope Further Than Ever

SB: How much did they pay you for that comment?

On Keynote: I started the pres in ppt but found it awkward and clumsy ... then I remembered the shop I was delivering the pres to was an Apple shop, so I switched to Keynote. I just got it done quicker and better and it looked great. It was just automated and easy. It saved my butt because the quality of the pres came through, rather than my frustration with the app.

Incidentally, I have never been employed by Apple nor ever took a penny in any consulting or other comp. I like their products is all.

Opening up: Has Microsoft Saved Itself or Shot Itself in the Foot?

To PK de C'ville: My comments on Apple were pretty much how Microsoft sees them. But their ecology play on the iPhone is very welcome, and should give MS more reason to go "open," on mobile if not elsewhere.
