Second thoughts about carbon offsets
I’ve always thought carbon offsets were BS too.

Over the last year I keep hearing more and more anecdotes about Apple’s customer service and particularly the experience at retail. All the stories were tales that bordered on the stuff that urban myths are made of. They were repeated over and over to groups of people. They dealt with things ranging from MacBook keyboard problems, iPod failures and customer service during the purchases of back to school systems. In each case Apple did not please these customers, Apple delighted them. Even more interesting, none of the people who told me their story fit the traditional Apple customer demographic, none were die-hard techies nor Apple fanbois

ignore the code: Google Chrome OS UI Concept Video
The panel concept is interesting. Personally struggled a bit with the pop ups in gtalk chat but if persistent in their state could see how this could be useful for OS level actions.

I agree with Tim that “If you don’t want a repeat of the PC era, place your bets now on open systems. Don’t wait till it’s too late.” I think he’d also agree that we need to think beyond code and copyright. That’s like going to war with trucks but no tanks. For the open, distributed, heterogeneous web to thrive, we need to incorporate thinking from a host of other fields, such as contract law, design, psychology, consumer behavior, brand marketing, and more. Figuring out how to engage thinkers and leaders in those fields is likely one of the critical, still missing steps.

I Doubt Very Much It's The Fruit
gpbm:
The boy’s first non-mama or -dada word is, no kidding, “Apple.” No coaching on my part, I swear, and I’m 60+% sure he means the fruit.

TOTALLY!
...this is the personal website of Bill Dobie. I'm an entrepreneur from Canada who luckily gets to travel the world as we build our business. I get to work on a wide variety of information, data, software, design, energy and shipping problems...and indulge my own fascination with almost all things digital and otherwise. This personal site includes daily links I like, potentially a post on what I'm doing and every now and then brief ramblings on business, life, politics, technology and too much travel.
