The latest Microsoft ad that tells everyone an iPod will really cost you $30,000 while a Zune will only cost you $15 a month is really aimed at NO ONE other than Microsoft employees.

The Two-Seconds Google “Monopoly”
While Google is thought of as this omnipotent being … The current status of Google is really the purest form of supply & demand that may EVER exist. You, as a consumer – can change from Google to ANY other search engine LITERALLY in 2-seconds or however long it takes you to type a new [...]
What Nintendo & Sony Has to Fear From the iPhone (& iTouch)
First, the iPhone is not a Nintendo DSi or Sony PSP “killer.” That word is misused like ‘awesome.’ But the iPhone does put a big crimp into the maximum market of the Nintendo DSi and the Sony PSP.

iPhone App Review – MLB At Bat 2009 is a Grand Slam
