iPad Limitations — Here to Stay?
The original Apple Macintosh had a monochrome display, a one-button mouse, no expansion slots, and a keyboard with no function keys or numeric keypad.
Apple touted each of these limitations as a feature. Yet each of these limitations was eliminated in later products.
The Apple iPad has no GPS, no camera, no stylus, no flash support, and is tied to iTunes.
Which of these limitations do you think will be fixed in later versions?
Bruce Schneier on Digital Spying
Congress may revive a bill prohibiting U.S. tech companies from working with governments that digitally spy on their citizens. Bruce Schneier responds:
Of course, the bill won’t go anywhere, but shouldn’t someone inform those members of Congress about what’s been going on in the United States for the past eight years? —Bruce Schneier
Touché.

Michael Hyatt on Corporate Social Media Policies
Use whatever social media you want. Feel free to use it on company time. Just use common sense and remember that if you publicly identify yourself with the company’s brand then act in a manner consistent with that brand. It’s in all of our best interests to do so. —Michael Hyatt
The above quote is somewhat out of context, though maybe not in the way you would suspect. Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, lists five reasons why your company doesn’t need a social media policy. Go read the list.

Pepsi’s Old Logo Is New
I like Pepsi but not their new logo. I’m not alone. I think Pepsi’s 1973 logo was their best. Pepsi apparently agrees; their Pepsi “Throwback” uses it. By the way, the can is white, not silver, as Pepsi’s picture suggests.
Now, make the logo larger and lose the yellow “throwback” ribbon. Pepsi, if you need a reminder, here you go.
The Books I Read in 2009
I like to read. I maintain a page of books I’m reading, have read, and just might read. In 2009, I read 29 books, started another 2 books, and found 37 more books I’m interested in reading. This doesn’t count the magazines I read or the technical books I reference.
The books I read divide quite nicely into just a few categories:
- Science
- Science / Technology Histories
- Evolution
- Religion
- Biblical Criticism
- House Church / First Century Christianity
- Apologetics / Perception / Issues
- Business
- Fiction
How about you? Do you still read books? Did you have a favorite in ‘09? What book do you recommend? Continue reading →
