Fired execs, Scott Forstall & Steven Sinofsky, forming one company would be...

Wow, I can't imagine what kind of new things they might come up with. A new cross-device OS that'll kill Windows and iOS and Android and maybe Xbox, too? But, maybe it should have emulators to be able to at least run Windows and Android, ala the OS X Bootcamp. I was thinking they could hook up with Firefox and make that Firefox OS a reality that we all can really use. But then again, they should probably thinking up new computing paradigms altogether. No more mice. Not just touch screens. Or voice. Maybe, go 3D.

And then again, Forstall technically isn't leaving Apple until 2013, and only Sinofsky is totally out of Microsoft. I am really wishfully thinking that Forstall, for this next year at Apple as "special advisor to the CEO", is actually just dreaming up the next new thing. He isn't gonna be SVP of iOS anymore, sure. But maybe he can become SVP of [insert name of next new thing here] by the end of 2013. He is such a talent that Apple probably wouldn't really want to go to competition. A jerk, but is a talent. Reminds me of someone.

App for Grabs #2: Web Browser for Today's Desktop OSes

App for Grabs is a new series I'd like to start on "i" on Tech. It's basically an idea I have for an app (whether for mobile or desktop or web), but it seems no one has written that exact app just yet. So, I put this app idea up for grabs. Hence, the name. If you're a developer and you grab this app idea, please feel free to contact me for donations and royalties! :D  And I'd be happy to give you more app ideas. If you're evil and you don't even want to credit me, well, I will let the world judge you.

Anyhow, here's my second App for Grabs. More like new app features.

Three kinds of Apple fanboys

I realized there are 3 kinds of Apple fanboys.

A. People who are fans of Apple products only.
B. People who are fans of Apple history and culture, it being a business.
C. Both A and B.

"A" fans are usually just fans of recent Apple products. They only got to know about Apple since it became popular over the last decade. They see Apple products as lifestyle (i.e. "luxury" / expensive) products that they want but not necessarily need to have, and buy them often despite the costs and publicly perceived "flaws." They often demand the latest and greatest from Apple, or for Apple to offer things that are seemingly better than the competition. They want Apple to give higher resolution cameras, higher resolution screens, faster processors, more memory and storage, and so on. If Apple releases an update to a relatively new product these people bought, they are mad as hell at Apple, because suddenly, they're not the most popular kid with the shiniest gadget on the block anymore. "A" fans think Steve Jobs is Apple.

2013 and Scott Forstall

People seem quick to discount Apple since losing Steve Jobs to tech heaven back in 2011. People now think Apple needs another Steve Jobs, or else!

Would Steve Jobs be mad at today's Apple? If Steve Jobs were alive, Apple would probably not start their decline, right?

How about ask these instead:

This is just an experiment. I'd like to call it, "The never ending blog post." :D

Baseless Prediction: Future OS X codenames

If you're a Mac fan, you know what this list means:

Who needs an iPad mini?

Well, of course there are those who like the "glitz" that Apple products give them. It's like a status symbol.

Old Tech

Ever had any one of these? I have a few more, but these are all I was able to dig up.
