I believe I did, Jason. Check the title of the editorial.
My position in the editorial depends on your definition of "killer app." In the editorial I define "killer app" as "...an application that makes some ordinary gadget--one that no one is really buying--so useful that people will sell their children to buy the device." If you define "killer app" as a highly useful app then you're not really disagreeing with my position, you're disagreeing with the definition I'm relying on.
However, the intent of the piece was as much to point out that the phrase "killer app" has become as dated as "groovy app" and that we should probably start weaning ourselves off it. :wink:
