RIM the makers of blackberry <a href="http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/12/27/rim.thought.apple.was.lying.on.iphone.in.2007/" target="_blank">thought</a> Apple was lying. Ed Colligan of Palm <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/palms-ed-colligan-laughs-off-iphone/" target="_blank">said</a> that <span>“PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in”. Steve Ballmer CEO of Microsoft <a href="http://youtu.be/eywi0h_Y5_U" target="_blank">scoffed</a> at the idea of the iPhone. Today RIM’s share has <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20110620/rim-downgraded-from-cant-get-worse-to-worse/" target="_blank">plummeted</a>, Palm no longer exists, and Microsoft this week <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57354719-94/microsoft-exec-iphone-prompted-windows-phone-redesign/" target="_blank">admitted</a> that Windows phone 7 was a response to iPhone. As far as Apple’s success we’ll let the last five years speak for themselves.</span></p>http://nickconnolly.net/post/15569010873http://nickconnolly.net/post/15569010873Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:03:00 -0500iPhone5 yearsbirthdaysteve jobsapple<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8FRW7PU65jE?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Ric Flair inspirational words.</p>http://nickconnolly.net/post/15172488906http://nickconnolly.net/post/15172488906Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:11:10 -0500Happy 2012 everyone. 2011 has been a very interesting year for me.
