Most of the time I avoid anything with the word “geek” attached to it like some kind of plague infested cockroach with a really bad disposition (the irony doesn’t escape me).  These watches, however, are pretty […]

While the media wonks over at the BBC have masterfully put together an article that deviates from the topic in less time than it took to read, they do manage to bumble through an entire range of topics, getting each one wrong.

Now what kind of a farce is this. If I had a monopoly of 90% market share, a product that is pervasive and a toehold in every other related market, I’d pretty much figure that my continued existence was in the bag. Especially if somehow worse came to worse, I could simply sell […]
