iPhone 4S Release Draws Crowds, Lines, Agony, Ecstasy
Pre-orders for Apple's iPhone 4S hit the 1 million mark quickly after
they became available earlier this month, and the deluge swamped the
websites of Apple and its retail partners. This week, hordes of people
began queuing up outside stores, some camping out overnight, to get
their hands on the device, which hit the shelves Friday.

iOS 5: Excellent, Awesome and Somewhat Confusing
After learning that it would cost me $449 to upgrade from my iPhone 4 to
an iPhone 4S, I pushed the pause button on those plans and decided to
see how iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 shakes out first. After all, it's not as if
I don't appreciate my iPhone 4. It's a great phone, quite serviceable,
and now, with iOS 5, it's better than it was just a few days ago.

Android News Video Apps: No News Isn't Good News
My first experience with trying to consume news on-the-go was back in
the eighties using the original CompuServe text-based online service --
the first commercial online service. The process generally involved
trying to connect a laptop to the hotel phone system through a
combination of alligator clips, acoustic couplers, brick-like cellular
phones, and so on.

Tech World Mourns Loss of Dennis Ritchie, Father of C and Unix
Legendary computer scientist and creator of the C programming language
Dennis Ritchie has died at the age of 70, leaving behind a legacy that
touches virtually every aspect of modern life. News of Ritchie's death
was apparently first revealed to the world on Google+ by Rob Pike, a
distinguished engineer at Google who worked with Ritchie on numerous
occasions.
