What if I had bought Apple stock instead? →
jstn: AAPL is worth twice what was just one year ago today, and 40x seven years ago. I became a shareholder recently, wish I’d done it long ago. I remember my first Macintosh, a PowerMac G5 from 2003: $2399. In stocks: $68176.41. More stock regrets, thanks to Alex.

Microsoft controls the Xbox hardware and software. They require game developers to register themselves, and all Xbox games must be approved by Microsoft. You can’t even develop games using the Xbox. Would you say the Xbox represents the end of video games?

Why Apple did what they did →
Alex on the news rules for iPhone developers: The major problem Apple is facing with the App Store is a struggle between quantity and quality. Let’s not forget that, when Apple was struggling in the ’90s, their main argument was that while Windows had thousands of applications, you could do everything with a Mac, and better.

No hardware →
Alex: Here’s the future of computing : no computer. Great article about the iPad and how UI became more relevant than gigahertz.

Jürgen from Cultured Code: If you want to understand what makes the iPad special, you cannot look at what it has, but what it doesn’t have. The iPad is so thin and light, it becomes the display, and the display becomes the application. No input devices. The device vanishes and turns into the application you are using. The technology is transparent.
