simpler, more casual apps

From macrumors (emphasis mine):

"The Mac App Store also raises additional questions whether or not the so-called "race to the bottom" in prices will be duplicated on the Mac software side as well, and whether or not it will encourage simpler, more casual apps."

After experiencing years of continuous "improvement" (read it bloating) of software packages on the PC (take your pick of office suites for example), simpler, more casual apps sound good to me.

statistically speaking, I need to get a panasonic camera

As a math guy (geek? I hate that word), I find the numbers game on okcupid very interesting. And even though I'm not "on the market", I do find some interesting advice there. Like this bit which tells me to get a panasonic camera.



Statistically speaking that is.

Windows Phone 7 devices announced

CNN fails to mention that all these will be running Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset.

Said Steve Balmer:
We're excited to bring a new generation of Windows phones exclusively featuring Snapdragon mobile processors

I helped build that.
