Leaks Are Just Leaks
I certainly hope that BlackBerry life is beautiful and drool-able come the 30th…

Long Live AppleScript!
John Gruber, of Daring Fireball, writing on MacWorld.com:
“…To recap: Decidedly old-school-Apple/pre-NeXT technology. A programming language syntax that frustrated experts and failed to achieve its intended goal of empowering non-programmers to program. A technical mismatch with the Cocoa application framework. You need this historical context to understand how unlikely AppleScript’s long-term success was. Someone with access to a time machine could make a lot of money by going back to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 1998 and accepting wagers that AppleScript would be alive and well in the year 2012.”

HP Strikes Back
From Darren Murph, on Engadget, yesterday: HP’s 9.7-inch TouchPad: webOS 3.0 tablet with 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon, coming this summer
As usual, the comments are worth the price of admission; so far, there’s only one fanboy jab!!
I do like the concept of real, gen-u-ine multitasking, and WebOS sounds like it’s got a much better clue than iOS, but whatever-device-it-is has to be able to synch with the current herd… We shall see what HP comes up with.
Dan Frommer’s not particularly impressed: Sorry, But HP’s TouchPad Is No Threat To Apple’s iPad

More Apple World Domination
From (Apple FanBoy) Dan Frommer’s post today, on Business Insider: Apple’s Special Weapon In Its iPad War Against Google
It’ll be interesting to see what the numbers look like in six months, and in a year.
