Business and technology moves abound. Yes, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted and there’s been quite a few things I wanted to comment on such as Google’s Chrome browser, Best Buy selling the Samsung Instinct, the iPhone vs Instinct debate, and of course T-Mobile’s Android-based phone called the G1. So why have [...]
