Just like Windows/Windoze. Ain’t it great?
I have great business respect for Steve Jobs, less for Apple. What’s next after their iWatch? an iTieclip?

HP just laid off another 30,000 employees
HP’s layoff announcement is in today’s news – the day their ex CEO makes it from the kiddy debate to the adult debate for the Republican nomination. Remember that she was fired by HP in a bitter dispute. She had bought another computer manufacturer when the industry was headed for a down market and competitor IBM had sold its PC business.

Flipboard has this concept of “re-flipping”, roughly equivalent to retweeting from Twitter. Some dweeb I don’t know can force their “news choices” into my Flipboard “news”, telling me how does George Bush is killing some dweeb I don’t know can force their “news choices” into my Flipboard “news”, telling me how does George Bush is killing polar bears, or a hacker bragging about his new technique to break into people’s computers, or generating phony news stories to try to lure me into buying “free” apps that aren’t free. I don’t want random strangers creating “news “
