As another geek who has also never owned a Mac, do I sense that a Hipster vs Geek vs Nerd infographic is needed? Unfortunately it’ll need someone far more graphically talented than me to create it. As much as I love these graphics, the actual putting together of one is beyond my technical whiz bang.

Thanks Sheeds, and again it’s a great example. What surprises me though is that games are so popular as a paid download! Guess it’s indicative of how we use our smartphones as devices of distraction when we need some time killed, like on the morning commute!

Here’s another for you.

Funnily enough, it’s on Windows Phone, just released, summarising 2011 from a Dev & App perspective.

Thanks Sheeds for sharing. That certainly is a mighty effort and must have required some serious reseach too. It was also a bit of a trip down memory lane. I remember staying up half the night with Dad to install our beta copy of Windows 95!

Gwynn,

Here’s one of my Fa’v's – one massive effort by a Blogger to chart the history of competitors/combatants Microsoft and Apple.

An amazing effort by Manolution!
