I thought I’d add a few more thoughts to round out my previous review of the iPhone. First, noting Sam’s comments about Apple wanting to go to market with broad coverage worldwide, I’ll agree that the GSM choice made sense, especially given availability of 3G GSM across the pond, though my American provincialism still requires…
As David Cowan has noted, complete with an audio sample, we’ve all heard that annoying buzz on our conference room Polycoms caused by interference from nearby cell phones and PDAs (to be fair, the problem happens on my Cisco IP phone too), and as phone-in attendees, we’ve all had to ask the people actually in…
I’ve now been using my iPhone for a month and am now ready to share some initial thoughts about the device. I finally solved my activation problem, which was caused by the automated credit approval service on AT&T’s side not knowing how to deal with my identity-theft prevention service, so after 24 hours of initial…
I was gassing up my car today when I noticed an decommissioned pay phone stall on the side of road (see the first picture above). The now cheap and ubiquitous mobile phone has turned the pay phone into an anachronistic dinosaur. I wonder how many pay phones actually turned a profit before the cell phone…
I am excited to announce that Postini has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Google for $625 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and Postini will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google. As investors, we at Mobius Venture Capital couldn’t be happier with this development. I’ve had the pleasure…

My lovely wife Katherine has been blogging up a storm lately and I realized I had not outed her on my blog. In fact, my partner Brad beat me to the punch. So now it is time for me to link to her consistently insightful and amusing observations about, well, pretty much anything. We just…
My brother Ross A. McIntyre is a founder/producer/actor in a comedy troupe in New York called spurn. Ross sent me note today mentioning that spurn (and Ross) was featured today in BlogChelsea noting spurn’s upcoming return to the People’s Improv Theater for the next three Saturdays at 8pm beginning this Saturday, July 7th. Ross and…
My friend Jud scored an 8Gb iPhone for me this evening (thanks again!), and I picked it up a couple hours ago. Finally got it home, unpacked it, wow is it a beautiful piece of hardware. Then I connected it to iTunes and I went through the activation process but got stuck at the last…
I’m sure you were expecting me to talk about the iPhone, but I will refrain, mostly. My friend Jud is actually waiting in line at the Apple Store in Boulder and graciously offered to buy me one (thanks Jud!) if there are any 8GB models left. I predict that they will under-allocate the 8GB models…
