Have a look at this chart (via John Gruber).
Check the share of all smartphones (green bars). If I read the data correctly, this all story of Android crushing iPhone in market share is just plain wrong. At least what it implies (that consumers are showing any preference for Android) is wrong.
Apple is indeed constantly GAINING market share on smartphones.
What’s happening is that the...
Google Account Security Best Practices →
My Google account is probably the login that’s most valuable to me, together with the one of my bank account. Here’s a very useful roundup of quick measures you can take to make sure your Google account is secure.
Especially since I got an iPhone I gave authorization to access my Google account data to way too many applications, so this advice was particularly useful to me:

How to transfer a domain name from Godaddy to...
I’m in the process of transferring a few domains from Godaddy.com to the acclaimed Namecheap.com registrar. Why? Because it’s cheaper, does not send me newsletters and doesn’t waste money in stupid ads.
Whatever your reason, you need a code (EPP, or Extensible Provisioning Protocol) to actually transfer a domain from one registrar to another, and Godaddy does its best to make it...

I know I’m late in this, but still.
1. Too much information is BAD. Better to know less and DO MORE. Reading a book is different (= BETTER) than being updated on the new Yahoo TV platform. In 2010 I’ve reached the top in terms of information overload. Face but having 3.000 items waiting for you every time you check Google Reader is not. I already almost stopped using Facebook, I...

One of my favourite bloggers and fellow italian Valeria Maltoni (aka Conversation Agent: believe me the name fits) lists some 25 reasons why you need to be creative, and how experience and known working patterns can and will get in the way on your path towards creativity. In other words, she lists the 25 reasons why you need a whack on the side of the head (based on a Roger von Oech’s book)....
