And adding one more browser to the mix will just make the problem worse. I've been a fan of Firefox/Mozilla for quite a while, because I thought it was good to have a well funded open source browser project competing with I.E., but it's hard to see how the benefit of another open-source alternative will outweigh the cost of having to deal with another slightly incompatible browser. ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:07:34 -0400

A CPU is just a CPU... differentiation comes from what you build around it. I think that Apple's recent transition from PowerPC to Intel chips validates that assertion. Their decision in the early 90's to try to "differentiate" their computers by using PowerPC turned out to be a mistake in retrospect.

It would be a wonderful idea to take the Palm UI and graft it onto a modern OS (like Linux) similar to the way that Apple grafted something similar to their traditional UI onto a more modern NextStep/BSD based core.

The difference between Apple and Palm, however, is that Apple is lead by a talented group of visionaries who knew how to make this happen. Palm, on the other hand, is infested by ex-3Com management whose arrogance far outweighs their talent or effectiveness. It's pretty extraordinary that they were able to take something as terrific as Palm once was and completely ruin it.]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:36:48 -0400
