So he IS ill, now can we move on?
Ok, Steve Jobs has released a note saying he is ill but not about to peg it.
Now, can we stop all the prying and speculation and get on with the technology please?
Steve, get well soon mate. (dude, I know you read this :-)
Collaboratively, small efforts add up
I am going to confirm what many people have been telling me for some years – I need help.
I am therefore recruiting staff writers (unpaid of course - for the moment) for a new blog I am setting up in the next couple of months. The blog will be about technology generally, however it will not be platform specific or even any particular technology specific but just about anything cool in technology.
The sort of stuff I’d like are; interesting product releases (that’s INTERESTING stuff, not the latest USB memory stick shaped like a rabbit or other tat – unless it is a really funky rabbit of course), product or service reviews (honest ones – good or bad), tech tips, editorials etc. – hey we all read these type of sites, we all know what we as techies like and and (with a couple of exceptions) they all have shortcomings.
If enough of us occasionally contribute we should get a steady stream of posts to share with the group.
I hope to have some advertising on there to pay for bandwidth and search seeding and if it really takes off, we’ll talk about paying for content too.
If you are interested in having a voice on the net, want to be part of a bigger project and don’t want the hassle of running your own site, please comment below and I’ll be in touch.
MWSF2009 – the last??
Ah, it must be January, the Mac rumour mill is working overtime, Steve Jobs is (apparently) on his deathbed – again – and the industry press are getting their knickers in a twist over what will happen in the hour or so before a trade exhibition in San Francisco opens it’s doors to the public.
Personally, I am hoping for a change to the AppleTV unit so I can buy a model that isn’t two years old for my AV system.
Other rumoured products include: a Netbook laptop device, a overgrown iPod touch with a big screen, iWork in the cloud and a release date for Snow Leopard.
What ever happens, with Steve not delivering the Keynote and Apple pulling out altogether in 2010, it’s going to be an interesting event this year.
