A "Holy Fucking Shit" Quarter →

parislemon: Remember back in October when after a rare “miss” by Apple (which was only a miss because analysts are stupid and lazy), the early signs pointed to the potential of a $40 billion quarter?

Gmail App, Take 2 →

parislemon: I have no idea why it took them a couple weeks to fix a simple bug, but Gmail is back in the App Store. Can’t wait to see the response this time around. Still unusable in portrait mode. Still just a wrapper. I don’t understand why they embrace mediocrity with such gusto.

Happy 53rd.

Happy Birthday, Madonna. What is it about 1958? Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince were born that year. Talk about conquering the world. When I was a kid, I wasn’t aware of pop culture or pop music, really. We didn’t have MTV, my parents listened to Top 40 radio in the car in the morning, but it was background noise. Madonna was the first pop star I was really aware of. Before...
