I try to love all the major mobile platforms equally...though Blackberry and Symbian do get somewhat neglected around here.

Comment - Web search in a post-Twitter world
(Oct 24, 2009 - 4:06 PM)

If you want to be super-literal, "post" is Latin for "behind/after/following/later." and "postumous" (which we adopted as "posthumous") is the superlative form meaning "last/the end." Think of it as sort of like the difference between "penultimate" and "ultimate."

Thank God for Latin class.

It means after an event has occurred, not necessarily ended. An end is strictly implied in something like "postwar," not outright said. Think about words like "postmortem," that doesn't mean "after death HAS ENDED," it just means "after death." Post-Modernism and Post-Punk don't mean that Modernism and Punk have gone away or ended, In these cases it means using their existence as a point of origin. When I say "Post-Twitter," I'm saying "following the existence of Twitter."
Comment - McCain's 'Real Stimulus' to go head-to-head against FCC's 'net neutrality'

Mccain's position is hilarious. From his presentation on Thursday:

"The wireless industry exploded over the past twenty years due to limited government regulation. Meanwhile, wired telephones and networks have become a slow dying breed as they are mired in state and Federal regulations, universal service contribution requirements and limitations on use."

Attributing the course of technological adoption ENTIRELY to government regulation is just silly.
