He’s the co-founder of several of my favorite sites [Truemors and AllTop - more on these later]. His nickname is the O.G. [Original Gangster] of Apple Inc. and he’s largely [...]
Gone are the days of typing out text messages with only your thumbs. Forget using your phone to send text messages to groups with updates, heads-ups, check this outs, guess whats, and so on.
