On Android and differentiation « The Macalope
InfoWorld’s Galen Gruman on why open source could kill Android’s chances.
This is precisely why I fear for Android’s future. The open source community is much more likely, based on its history, to screw around with umpteen hundred variations that are piled willy-nilly on top of umpteen OS variants, creating a mess that only a few nerds will want to play with.
Gruman goes on to hail the rumor of Google making its own phone to squash the fracturing of the Android market. But, wait, the Macalope thought “open sauce” — this multitude of hacks and putting all the power in the hands of oh-so-brilliant open-source developers — was what made Android so great.
So confusing! [antler scratch]

MacVoices #9122: Michael Cohen Takes Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard
via MacVoices by Chuck on 11/24/09
Mac OS X 10.6 brought with it plenty of new capabilities, including some that involve your Mac and other devices. Michael Cohen helps you do just that in his new book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard. Michael helps you understand Snow Leopard syncing, including the new Sync Diagnostics, the truth database, and syncing with and without a MobileMe account. Think you need to reset your syncing? Michael explains the “thermonuclear option,” what it does, and when you should use it, the benefits of Exchange support, why you might see the Conflict Resolver in iCal even if you don’t make any changes, and more.
