Note: This is going to be my last bit of Apple pseudo-punditry for a while. I promise. A Tale Of Three Apple Customers My move to the Mac is a familiar tale. In 2002 I got the first Windows compatible iPod and moved my music over to iTunes. I was blown away by just how…

Responsive App Design
With the introduction of OS X Mountain Lion it is obvious that Apple is aligning the Mac with iOS devices, but it also feels like more. The approach is akin to responsive web design: the need for sites to adjust and adapt to best leverage the device on which they are displayed. This is something…
