Cassandra: Apple Event Predictions; and BBM Arrives (sort of) |
|
By Graham K. Rogers
Apple PredictionsNew stuff.See the rumours. Wait another 14 hours for the real stories.
BlackberryIs anyone in charge at Waterloo? Has anyone ever been in charge. Heads in the sand when the iPhone arrived (either that or corporate arrogance); a tablet that wouldn't do email and needed a phone nearby; and after several years of rumours, two botched launches of BBM: the messenger app. It was out and withdrawn last month. With the real release today (maybe) there is a waiting list for activation.The difference, we are told, between writing fact or novels, is that a novel has to make sense.
And if Mavericks is released this week, look out for my rewritten A - Z on System Preferences
