A lot has happened since two days ago in the continuing story of HP’s acquisition of Palm.  Right after the SEC gave the go ahead for the deal to go through, HP’s CEO Mark Hurd said the craziest thing:
We’re not going to spend billions of dollars trying to go into the smartphone business; that doesn’t in any [...]

If you aren’t familiar with Matias Duarte, that’s fine; he’s not exactly a household name. But, if you’re a Palm fanboy or you had the chance to catch Palm’s announcement of webOS at CES last year, chances are you’ve seen him before. Duarte, who was previously in charge of UI design for webOS, revealed webOS [...]

Remember when Google announced the Nexus One (N1)? Do you recall that it was the fastest, most powerful Android phone available? Google fanboys exclaimed that it was “the first superphone ever!“ And then Google explained to the world that it would sell the phone exclusively online (http://www.google.com/phone)?
Well, in retrospect, it’s safe to say that the plan [...]

Palm’s SVP of Software and Services, Michael Abbott, is leaving Palm. In a file given to the SEC, Palm divulged Abbott will no longer be working with Palm effective the 23rd of this month.
What did Mr. Abbott do over at Sunnyvale anyway? Well, in a nutshell, he was a major part of the [...]

Yesterday at Twitter’s Chirp Conference, the company’s first ever developers conference, CEO Evan Williams announced a new, somewhat monumental feature: Places. As you may have guessed, Places allows you to share your location with others (with your permission of course).
Although, Places sounds somewhat novel, the feature does a lot more than just report your location. Once you’ve posted [...]

“Modernista, it just isn’t working out.  I wanted to like you, I really did–honest.  And after your first ad, I thought we were going to have a long, beautiful relationship.  But after that little honeymoon phase, everything just went downhill. Your idea of an ad was a ghostly pale woman, sitting on a rock, talking about things [...]
