My baby is home: Forester SG SG9 XT AT

12 October 2014

I’ve had my eyes on a Subaru Forester for a few years now. I totally hate the new models, the third and forth generation look more like every other SUV on the market as Subaru needed to appeal to people thinking the Forester is a station wagon. The strategy worked, and Subaru is a top […]

It’s time to stop with the fake HD video obsession?

31 July 2013

ArsT Technica has a long article about how YouTube stumbles at peak hour and it’s all the cable companies’ fault. Somehow true, the video consumption has grown in the past years and cable companies have a hard time providing the pipe necessary for that.

Photography: low-light and smartphones

18 May 2013

Why are people upset with Apple?

17 September 2012

iPhone 5 was announced a few days back and the numbers of negative/angry comments are way higher that when they’ve introduced 4S. Mainly, people are saying Apple has become boring and stopped innovating.

the adobe-apple war, the short version

12 April 2010

Let’s perform a thought experiment. By the end of 2010, there will be more than 100 million iPhone OS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad). You’re the webmeister at an important content site. The boss comes in and asks you why you’re not supporting the iPhone OS devices. ‘Our stuff is all Flash-based, chief, those guys […]
