  • We need a better funding model for open source.

    Praying that people will donate enough to support your browser isn’t exactly great and really doesn’t work for most open-source projects.

    iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.

    Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.
