The Rise of the Anti Apple People
Why in the hell should anybody adopt Apples Facetime? Is it somehow better than other videochat services? Why doesn't everybody just get Skype? Why don't Apple just make an integrated Skype videochat app?
The world doesn't revolve around fucking Apple, and no one should adopt Apple's videochat, especially when that feature has been around for years on vanilla dumb phones that can do videochat to any other phone on the planet that has a front facing camera.
Seriously Giz, get your heads out of Steve Jobs' ass."

How Christian is Tea Party Libertarianism?

Great article over at Sojo by Jim Wallis. Some key quotes:
"Both compassion and social justice are fundamental Christian commitments, and while the Christian community is responsible for living out both, government is also held accountable to the requirements of justice and mercy."
"Libertarians seem to believe in the myth of the sinless market and that the self-interest of business owners or corporations will serve the interests of society;"
"C.S. Lewis once said that we need democracy not because people are essentially good, but because they often are not. Democratic accountability is essential to preventing the market from becoming a beast of corporate totalitarianism – just as it is essential for the government. And God’s priorities should determine ours, not the priorities of the Chamber of Commerce."
"When the system is designed to protect the privileges of the already strong and make the weak even more defenseless and vulnerable, something is wrong with the system."
Amen.

How is the Dell Streak an iPad Competitor?

I realize that the lines are blurring but this is a smartphone with an awesomely large screen, you could hardly call it a "tablet."

Viv Magazine iPad Interactive Magazine Demo (Noir)
This new magazine "format" for the iPad (and other tablets) might look cool, but man does it seem useless for actually trying to read articles.
Imagine a magazine's pages stretched out across a DVD menu, with small angled copy appearing in only a few paragraphs at a time. What a nightmare.
You know why banner ads are still so maligned? Because when I'm trying to read there's a bunch of crap moving on the page distracting me. They can have their flashy "interactive magazine" format, I just want to actually read.
Bonnier's concept seems way more useful, too bad it isn't real yet.
