I have some great news, I’ll be able to start cluing you in on what’s going on, my half-hiatus, and where things are headed… by the end of the week.
But just to tease you all, I will re-iterate one job position over on PhoneNews.com that we’re really looking to fill. If you’re a Mac OS [...]

In a little over a month from now, I’ll be announcing what has been going on, why I’ve been half-offline for all this time, and what’s coming next.
I will say one angle of this does involve publishing. As PhoneNews.com approaches its fifth birthday, it’s time to expand.
Now, publishing is just one part of what’s up, [...]

Pardon the dust… I’ve spent all the time I can this weekend on it. But, I hope you like the new look and feel.
When time permits, the top navigation and other elements will be fixed. But, it’s a huge improvement already…
Feel free to share feedback about the change in the comments.

Darren over at ProBlogger raised the interesting topic of name association today.
Note: PhoneNews.com is not a blog. However, PhoneNews.com is one of those media sites that does blur the line between typical journalism and typical blogging… we like to stay in that fuzziness.
So, today, you’ll notice that the Editor-in-Chief’s Blog widget has been added to [...]

Apple today confirmed what I revealed initially… Time Machine and AirPort Disk may say they play together now… but unfortunately, there are still show-stopping bugs. They weren’t as clear as I was, in fact, they didn’t mention that these were data-loss level issues… simply that the feature is still unsupported.
I just wish for one I [...]

I really don’t like the backend changes in WordPress 2.5. Really, really, really don’t like them. Most of the staff on PhoneNews.com doesn’t either… I’ve been getting an earful about it.
The WordPress team says that they hired an external research team, to determine how people use the backend. Problem is, they weighted experienced and non-experienced [...]

I know, I said I wasn’t going to do any updates while at CTIA. It’s Vegas, and I should be doing other things… but, I noted that WordPress 2.5 had a few things that would improve coverage.
So, using my blog as a test, its now running WordPress 2.5.
Up next? The PhoneNews.com Blog, and then if [...]

One of the many, many things I don’t like about Engadget, is when they chose to write something completely biased and opiniated, and just slip it into the middle of a sentence. Like, in this article:
“Granted, we fully understand Creative’s right to disallow the distribution of untested, potentially harmful third-party drivers…”
Stop. Where in the world [...]

It’s official. I’m getting too much email. This year’s CTIA show prep for PhoneNews.com has caused such a deluge of email, that I am not able to function day-to-day communications.
This has brought me to the painful what-to-do-with-the-mail situation. I now have to decide if I’m going to do one of several options:
1) Deal with it. [...]

I didn’t see this one coming. Ziff Davis is Chapter 11… with over $225 Million in debt.
For those of you too young to remember (and I have to start saying that), Ziff Davis at one point was king of all technological media. They had a near monopoly on Mac newsprint, and the online media was [...]
