From the side bar next to the article:

> Who's the pretty girl with Cringely? Learn more about Anina and 360fashion

Both provided links are dead, but I was able to find a Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anina_(model)

Looks like she is (or was previously) a model.

In 2010, Cringely promoted her "mobile-magazine-based-on-RSS" solution https://www.cringely.com/2010/03/11/the-94-percent-solution/ and included the statement: "this same content can be read today on two billion devices throughout the world. There will never, ever be two billion iPhones."

Seven years later, we're half-way there: "Apple has sold more than one billion iPhones worldwide from 2007 to 2016" https://www.statista.com/statistics/263401/global-apple-ipho...
