…and we’d like to tell them that they’re insane. Ok. Seriously, sure, fine, we get it. Let’s do exercise! It’s good for the body and the soul.

When I originally learned of the Nest Learning Thermostat, I understood that its creator had a history within Apple and thus the design of the device was slick and it the device itself, revolutionary.

Some company that makes fancy fashion symbol cellular telephones made news this week for finally releasing its own mapping software, only 16 years after Mapquest first came out.

I know that sounds boring, but the name “Directions in 3D” doesn’t do it justice. Have you ever viewed the Tour de France and watched in awe as they show you those epic, swooping helicopter shots of the race course? It’s like that.
Apple is, arguably, the most valuable company in the history of business. Sales, profits, PR; by whatever means one would measure a business, Apple is the king of the proverbial hill.
