The Opinion Cast: All Smart Devices are Simply Cloud Endpoints

A few weeks back I got into a light hearted Twitter debate with friend and colleague Roger Kay over tablets as PCs and the general number counting strategy of many firms. So he and I agreed to continue the conversation but do it through a podcast, or opinion cast as we like to call it.

So have a listen as we cover a range of topics from how to view tablets and their role in the computing ecosystem as well as a range of other thoughts on some standard industry practices.

The Opinion Cast: The Significance of Mountain Lion

I thought it would be fun to capture Tim and my conversation at the office today around Mountain Lion and our thoughts on what it means for Apple, computing, and even some comparison’s with Apple’s philosophy and that of Windows 8.
