Responsive Web Design is bad for the user
I have been reading the excellent article by @brad_frost a couple of times and reflecting… Even if I may represent the “mobile old timers” who still know how to write WML, I am 100% in on RWD, html5 and all that buzz (unlike some others).

WTF HP?
So what will happen to WebOS? Bought by Facebook? Bought by Google (patent shopping) Bought by Samsung or HTC? Open Sourced? The new Symbian? …. Poor Nokia…. You missed this opportunity too…

The irony is of course that at the worlds biggest trade show about connectivity, no one was connected. Flaky wifi and flaky roaming at best. Haha…
App stores vs. the open world wide web
PPK has, as usual, written an excellent piece on, what seems like is a never ending story; Apps vs. web. My personal opinion, as I always have had, is that the web in its nature, and web technology with its cross platform abilities, is the most future proof and scalable option. Just think of it: […]
