OutSpin: Why Google will never get it right!

These have been an interesting two weeks (last week writer’s block did win over me) in the Android/Google world: Samsung presented the Galaxy SIII, Google and Oracle were in court waiting for a decision that could change the IT world, Flipboard for Android was leaked and, last but not least,...

OutSPIN Weekly: Developer communication and its importance to End-users

If you are obsessed with organization like I am, you probably use Evernote and its sidekick Skitch. Evernote is, in my opinion one of the best products out there to manage content and Skitch feeds the graphic designer part of me.
