Here's Why Apple Stores Won't Work →
I never tire of reading this article. It’s such a good reminder to take risks and go against the grain. The buzz-word around here is that we need a vision. But so few people understand what that really means. Apple had a vision at the beginning of the decade and they worked toward that goal no matter what outsiders thought. The difference between Apple in 2010 and Apple in 2001 is...

A Harrison Kind of Day
My wife was taking a nap and I was watching Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark in the living room. We had just found out that the bun in the oven was a boy.

The original iPhone was great on day one. It couldn’t do as much as today’s iPhone, but it performed its feature-set extremely well. There were almost no rough edges or unpolished areas in its hardware or software, and nearly everything seemed justifiable, well conceived, and well executed.
Marco perfectly articulates why, after 4 months with Android, I am returning to the iPhone and likely...
