Steve Jobs
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]
The Internet Explorer IQ Hoax and the State of Tech Blogging — SiliconFilter
There is also a general undercurrent of anti-Microsoft sentiment on most blogs that makes it even easier for a story like this to get through without even an ounce of fact checking (something most blogs don’t do anyway: you publish first, edit later and then update the story as necessary).

Daring Fireball: Google: Patently Absurd
No one other than Nathan Myhrvold and his cronies sees the U.S. patent system as functioning properly, but Google’s hypocrisy here is absurd. Google isn’t arguing against a handful of never-should-have-been-issued software patents.

The end of easy growth in smartphones | asymco
The fortunes of vendors is now clearly tied to the fortunes of their platform choices. Android has a spotty record with Samsung[1] and HTC having accelerated growth with Android, Motorola and Sony Ericsson have not rallied to a similar degree (though they did remain operational). But it’s at least very clear that BlackBerry OS and Symbian are now a burden to their owners.
Here’s how Apple is forcing a worse user experience on its customers – SplatF
Amazon just updated its Kindle app for the iPhone and iPad to remove an important function: The link to its Kindle store where you can go to buy new e-books. Now, Apple device owners will have to figure out on their own that they need to go to Amazon’s website in their Safari browser to buy stuff to read with their Kindle app.

Are the Carriers Strangling Windows Phone 7 at Retail?
Are the Carriers Strangling Windows Phone 7 at Retail?
This certainly doesn’t help matters. I have personally experienced the same thing. Go to the Sprint Store, ask to see the Windows Phone HTC Arrive and instead the sales person shows me every phone (even a Blackberry!), expect the Windows Phone device.
