“Stay hungry, stay foolish.” Reflecting on the legacy of Steve Jobs

Posted on October 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

By Jenna Starkey

Don’t laugh, but I wrote in my diary for the first time in years last night after my flood of emotion from the news of Steve Job’s passing yesterday.  The first thing I had to get down on paper was the overwhelming feeling of “Wow, this man defined my generation.” Continue reading →

According to today’s article in Mashable, Facebook has rolled out a “Big” privacy upgrade to iPhone. Of course my first reaction is it’s about time, and thank you. As the main program in my app arsenal, I depend on mobile Facebook to work just as seamlessly and effectively as the desktop version.  All the minute Facebook changes usually just annoy rather than excite me, but I’ll take what I can get.

Where’s the Love for Blackberry?

Posted on April 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Is the Mobile World starting to put Blackberry on the backburner?  For example, I commute in on the train and BART (the Bay Area commuter train) only has specialized mobile apps for iPhone and Android.  I am forced to use my browser to take the place of many common apps because either a) the Blackberry version does not meet my needs or b) they just don’t exist.  Despite this, I would like to defend my love for the damn thing – the Blackberry, that is, not BART.  I’d also like to say that I am hesitant to get an iPhone because of the lack of a keyboard and a fear of being sucked further into the world of interconnectivity.  This is why I’ve joined the MobileFiller Blogging Community.

A little bit more about me:   I am a loyal Blackberry user and passionate consumer of news that I can absorb in 140 characters or less.  I admit to sleeping with my phone in my hand on a regular basis, and as much as I love my Blackberry, sometimes I wish I had an iPhone or Android so I could play Scrabble and/or Angry Birds on my morning BART ride.  In addition, I am currently saving money for an iPad, which I will use if for nothing else than to read magazines and The New York Times.
