Me: “Ok, we’ve pushed the site live.”

Client: “Why isn’t the site #1 on Google yet?”

Me: “We just pushed it live five minutes ago.”

Client: “Optimize the fireball.”

Me: “I’m sorry? Do you mean the firewall?”

Client: “I need more hits NOW, so I need you to optimize the fireball. I know what I’m talking about!”

Me: “We’ll get right on it.”

The iPad Flash Controversy : Wake Up & Smell the Cocoa

It’s just over 24 hours since Apple announced their new product, the iPad, their answer to the needs and wants that the netbook market are trying, and failing, to provide for.

I’m in love with the device already, and if I can find the funds I will be buying the 32gb WiFi model. I really believe Apple have hit the nail on the head here, it’s the right size for sitting on the sofa, or the train, or at the airport, or even in class and doing email, , browsing the web, playing games, connecting with social media, making notes, even giving presentations from the iPad version of iWork Keynote.

Now to the point that’s driving me crazy, a lot of commenters have made the observation that Apple has decided not to support Adobe’s Flash on the iPad, just as they haven’t with the iPhone or iPod Touch. These same commenters, and sadly a lot of the mainstream media too, are citing that Flash is an important part of the web experience, highlighting things such as Facebook games as an example of things the iPhone OS can’t do.

(Computer) Size Matters!

Client: “Well, how big is your computer?”

Me: “My, uh… How big?”

Client: “Yeah. How big? Is it big enough to handle a big sign?”

Me: “Well it’s a newer MacBook Pro so, like I said, I shouldn’t have any trouble.”

Client: “No, like how many inches?”

Me: “Um, well… It has a 17-inch screen.”

Client: “Well that won’t work. We need something that’s thirty or forty inches wide. It’s a big sign.”
