What will we do with all these apps?
Kid, in my day, “apps” were called “applications” — and you had to run them on your personal computer. The personal computer sat on your desk, and it had a screen the size of a small TV and a keyboard big enough that you could type with all of your fingers instead of just your [...]

Goodbye, Nexus One — Are our smartphones making us stupider?

I wrote a post recently about how the Kyocera Zio would mark the turning point in the Android v. iPhone battle. Like a lot of my posts, I submitted it to Reddit, because I love Reddit.
