“Steve Jobs was…” I’ve sat here with that blinking cursor for over an hour. When I woke up yesterday, Steve Jobs was alive. Yesterday at lunch I spoke with a friend and Apple employee about Steve and our hope was the same – we believed that Steve’s drive to succeed would never let him succumb [...]

Today Tim Cook took the stage in Cupertino to extol the virtues of Mactitude before yielding the stage to Scott Forestall and Phil Schiller to talk about iOS5 and the new iPhone 4S.

(In the voice of El Presidente) Friends, I come to you on the brink of a new day.  For a year, Tropico was isolated in a version that was superior to the previous, but not as refined as we would have wished.  Yes, the radio was annoying, but I am here to assure you that the [...]
