Apple iPhone – the business behind the design
I’ve always been a supporter of good resource management. Making the best of what you have without having to reinvent the wheel or complain that you’re missing some rare item to reach your goal.

From all the buzz around the Google Nexus phone, I’m not able to understand how can people say that it looks good when the iPhone is on the market ? Compare exhibit A with exhibit B.

List of directories that start with “wo”:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -regex “.*/wo.*”
