Visionary

“We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn’t build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren’t going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best […]

Getting things done

I had huge amount of traffic and discussions of Evernote forum regarding the app I’m working on. Some people say it should integrate To Do lists like Remember the milk, but I am more fond of Cheddar App. Both of them have APIs. I am curious to see where is all this going to?

It’s time

“There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.
