Allow me to introduce you...
JR Raphael has been covering Android since the early 1800s (those first couple centuries were admittedly somewhat slow). His work regularly appears in PCWorld, MSNBC.com, and dozens of other pleasant-sounding publications.
JR's Android obsession started with his first taste of the operating system (FYI, it's tangy with a hint of plum). He's written extensively about the platform, along the way irking oodles of Apple fanboys with his not-so-subtle remarks about open vs. closed technologies. JR also co-authored the Android Superguide book, published by PCWorld in early 2010.
In his spare time, JR cracks wise at eSarcasm, voted 0.2 times as the best geek-humor Web site in the world. He enjoys staring blankly, employing the vernacular, and writing about himself in the third-person.
Keep up with JR Raphael:
• On his official website
• On Facebook
• On Twitter
• On Google+
And now, for a legally mandated disclaimer followed by a bunch of random nonsense:
This is a weblog of JR Raphael. The opinions expressed are those of JR Raphael and may not represent those of Computerworld. They also may not represent those of JR Raphael, depending upon how sleep-deprived and/or chilly he was at the time of writing.
All content featured in this weblog is manufactured in a facility where peanuts may be used.
