Developers Digging Windows Phone; Microsoft Employees Still Love iPhones
ADOTAS – I’m sure this dude is on the fast track now: apparently at a recent company meeting, a wiseass employee tried to take a picture of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer — with an iPhone. Uh-oh! The Wall Street Journal reported that Ballmer grabbed the device, threw it to the [...] more...
Shocker: iPhone Developer License Is Really One-Sided
ADOTAS – I love the term “draconion” — it has such a ring to it. Just saying it aloud sends a shiver down the spine. The word references Draco, the first legislator of ancient Athens (and possibly the world), who took the oral laws of the city and wrote them [...] more...
iPhone-aholics Anonymous — or Unanimous?
ADOTAS – Ever since I read it as a boy, Ray Bradbury’s story 1953 “The Murderer” has haunted me. In the near future a psychologist visits a patient at an insane asylum who has given himself the moniker of “the Murderer” — he doesn’t slay humans, but any piece of [...] more...
Mobile Apps Go Native With Appcelerator’s Titanium Upgrade
ADOTAS – I grew up in Washington, DC, and moved to New York City in my swingin’ 20s, trading one tourist hotspot for another. Years spent passing large, bumbling groups of visitors, all wearing the same neon color t-shirts as well as tacky hats and sunglasses (sometimes they even ride [...] more...
Why Big Brands Will Love the iPad
ADOTAS – Marketers have been flirting with the iPhone and mobile advertising for the majority of 2008 and 2009.

Commence the iPad Pre-Order!
“distasteful” app — with ADOTAS – Steve Jobs promised me an iPad in late March, but it turns out I won’t be able to get my greedy hands on it until April 3. April 3?!? Oh man, I’m about to get all Veruca Salt in this piece — I want [...] more...
Yeah, but Can the iPad Make Me Money?
ADOTAS – Driven by the hype in the technical press, I visited Apple’s website and checked out the iPad video. Like all of Apple’s geek candy, the iPad looks great–sleek and slick. It demos as completely intuitive, with barely a learning curve needed. The $499 price point seems a tad steep [...] more...
Apple Smacks HTC to Strike Google
ADOTAS – Apple whipped out its patent portfolio and said HTC was in violation of 20 of them suckers. A suit was filed not only with the U.S. District Court in Delaware, but also the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) — an interesting wrinkle as the ITC doesn’t reward damages [...] more...

Apple Sterilizes the App Store
ADOTAS – Though at heart I’m a skier and could care less what happens to any snowboarder, I was rather nonplussed when I heard that bronze-medal-winner Scotty Lago left the U.S. Olympic Snowboarding team after some “racy” pics appeared on the web. Being the intrepid journalist I am, I scoured the [...] more...
