The internet decided last week, the iPad is dying. Too bad, I really enjoyed using mine. Well, not really for the first 4 years, but when Apple released the iPad Mini, it became my computing partner. Supposedly the Mac is sitting in the corner rapping “don’t call it a comeback.” … | Continue reading

Web applications’ story has been incomplete for a long time. There’s a lot of people working in web development, a lot of effort put into it, a lot of thought (I hope), and still we’re far, far away from complex, evolving, reactive web apps. It’s still the Dark Ages. | Continue reading
