Greeting from Jailbreak island...

A few years ago I found iOS awesome, the interface was a breathe of fresh air when compared to the popular devices of that day. I remember the Nokia N95 was the "top dog" in those days, for years Nokia milked that device not trying to innovate further, they got comfortable. Then came the iPhone and the rest is history. Fast forward to today, Apple and iOS feels like they are in the same position as Nokia with their cash cow of yesteryear, stuck. The interface employed by Windows phone, Android and now the Blackberry OS 10 seems brushed with a paint brush transported from the future. Now I own an iPhone 4S, I love the device, the hardware is beautiful and the quality of the applications continue to stand a notch above all else. Where iOS in my opinion stumbles is in the navigation and multitasking department. 

The Old and New Microsoft: Tragedy or Triumph?

When Gates and Allen founded Micro-Soft nearly four decades ago, they couldn't have known that their company would rise to heights such as it did. Now a 200 billion dollar enterprise, Microsoft is a giant in an industry where giants are rare and perhaps ephemeral. A company doesn't get so far without burning a few bridges, and Microsoft burned their competitors with such artful spectacle that they became a force to be reckoned with.

That Microsoft, dear readers, is no longer with us.
