Does Forbes have an anti-Apple conflict of interest?
Forbes recently unearthed a 3 hour deposition of Steve Jobs relating to the Apple backdating scandal he was involved in a few years ago.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Two days into the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it seems that everyone and their mother is coming out with an App Store. Here’s a quick run-down of all the app store party goers via Fortune: Nokia’s Ovi Store. An online app and media portal that comes “pre-integrated” on Nokia’s (NOK) new N97 (right), but […]

Continue reading...Tech writers and multi-touch madness
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Daniel Eran Dilger has an interesting article up over at Roughly Drafted where he discusses just how ridiculous the discussion over Apple “patenting multi-touch” has become.

Palm CEO Ed Colligan said today that Palm doesn’t envision running into any legal trouble with Apple over their implementation of multi-touch in the upcoming Palm Pre.

Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Rob Enderle’s latest article is a perfect example of how he’s either not qualified to write about tech, or that his bias against Apple is so great that he can’t possibly write about Apple without sounding like a complete fool. In his latest article, he argues that Apple going after Palm will turn Apple into […]

With CES behind us, one of the biggest surprises was the announcement of the Palm Pre, Palm’s latest entry in the smartphone market.
