Continuing upon the previous seven iPhone myths, this one insists that Apple will lose its iPhone platform to Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 7 as Steve Ballmer rears his head and comes into the airspace of Apple’s mobile platform. That’s wrong, here’s why.

Google Video is hosting Adam Curtis’ “The Century of the Self,” a powerful BBC documentary on the use of psychoanalysis to perfect propaganda under the term “public relations,” both to control the crowds in democracies, sell products to the emerging consumer class, and to pander to populist political ideals.

America is torn between two identities. We like to think of ourselves as smart when laughing at the foolish behavior of others, but we also express disdain for the smug elite.

Continuing upon the five iPhone myths in the previous segment, another myth relates to idea of Apple losing its iPhone platform to Android as developers defect to Google’s more open mobile platform. That’s wrong, here’s why.

One of the most promising relates to its AirPort wireless products and the potential for sharing ubiquitous WiFi service.

Someone who I am no longer allowed to name has reported that my scoop about Microsoft’s “I’m a PC” ads using Macs was non-noteworthy, while also reporting that Microsoft’s canceled third Seinfeld ad was.
