Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks — including death itself — at the university’s 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.

Amazon Kindle Fire

Uncategorized, , ,

The Kindle Fire appears to be exactly what consumers were looking for in the firesold HP Touchpads, a cheap functional tablet. But this new Amazon tablet looks to be more than that. With the all the press releases, media buzz, and behind the scenes innovation backing up this tablets release, I can’t help but cheer as another tech company has taken the Apple challenge without completely ripping them off, or falling extremely short in the consumer experience. Here’s to competition and innovation!

Back to the Start

Coldplay’s haunting classic ‘The Scientist’ is performed by country music legend Willie Nelson for the soundtrack of the short film entitled, “Back to the Start.” Download the song now available on iTunes. Label and proceeds benefit The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation. http://bit.ly/ofFnH4

The film, by film-maker Johnny Kelly, depicts the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future. Both the film and the soundtrack were commissioned by Chipotle to emphasize the importance of developing a sustainable food system.

Thoughts On HP, The TouchPad, & The Tech Industry In General

Uncategorized

Qick Summary of the HP Shenanigans:

My thoughts:

Apparently, there’s a market for $99 tablets. (either that or there’s a market for drama.. marketing food for thought) If a manufacturer can figure that out, they’ll probably have a profitable product.

There’s still a huge market for non-Mac pc’s. Why? Because, among other reasons, they’re much cheaper, and offer an interface and name that people are familiar with, Windows. Why is no one capitalizing on that? How many schools/students would buy a windows based $99 tablet?

I’m tired of the IBM/Microsoft/Google/HP/etc. crowd just trying to emulate Apple… Yes I love Apple, but i don’t like the idea of Apple holding all of the innovation.
It’s called a monopoly, and i’m afraid that’s just what Apple has when it comes to practical, well-designed, easy-to-use gadgets.

My thoughts about the matter can be summed up with this post. (disclaimer: sorry, post is slightly NSFW: contains vulgarity, and strong language)
