Dear Continental & Newark Airport

April 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment · travel

Thanks for turning the power outlets off and defeating my ability to take full advantage of the wifi I’ve paid for. F-Off.

Renault and Nokia to cobrand a crap car?

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Nokia, apple, marketing

This makes absolutely no brand sense. Why would you take a high end device like the Nokia N95 and pair it with a low to mid-range Renault?

What’s happening with the S60 browser?

April 11th, 2008 · 14 Comments · Nokia, Safari, iPhone
