Greg’s Bite: iPad eats into the PC market

Greg’s Bite: iPad eats into the PC market

The PC world has strangely stopped worrying — at least publicly — so much about the iPad and the tablet market in general. At least for now.

It appears Microsoft is doomed to ride the PC into the ground while the smartphone and tablet markets take over the consumer computer market.

MacTech Conference 2012: Schedule

MacTech Conference 2012: Schedule

Posted by | Oct 16, 2010 |

Unlike many other conferences, MacTech conference doesn’t hem anyone into rigid structures. We don’t force talks to conform to an arbitrary block of time that works for the conference, but not the presenter. Due to this, we list approximate times, but it’s best to look at schedule as more of a ‘running order.’ Think of it like the set list for a rock concert. This invites discussion from participants and allows a natural flow to the event.

My daughter loaded We Rule, the iOS game in which you manage a small kingdom including houses for the people, stores of all kinds, collect taxes, rents and grow crops to buy more infrastructure. The iPad was soon also loaded and I set up my own “kingdom” and have enjoyed planning my own community, as well.

The games are free but they try to sell you mojo to speed up the development and crops of your kingdom for those without patience. They sell mojo for real dollars on the iTune store. They also give you five mojo units if you download and open apps.
