One on One: Fred Wilson, Union Square Ventures: Good interview with Fred Wilson. Includes this near the end:
"So you use Android and not the iPhone?
Yes. It’s a political statement.In what respect?
I just don’t like some of the decisions that Apple has made. I’m not making a big stink about it. I get the whole thing with Flash, but it angers me when I go to a Web page with a Flash video and I can’t watch it. Plus the whole porn thing. I’m a free speech bigot. I don’t like censorship; I just don’t think it’s a good thing."While I don't miss Flash whatsoever, the greater sense of censorship is really starting to grate.
Futurama characters as X-Men: Very well done.
Apple Reverses Block Of Oscar Wilde Graphic Novel’s Gay Kissing: These "mistakes" are just going to keep happening, due to the nature of the "curated" App Store model. And for every one, Apple's image will continue to suffer.
The Iraqi who saved Norway from oil: A great success story for Norway, and interesting how it all came about.
How sharp is the iPhone 4.0’s screen?: Be sure to comare the full-size picture of the 3GS screen with the one of the iPhone 4. The benefit provided by the new Retina Display is really dramatic.
