It’s 3 AM, the night before Macworld Expo, an iPhone is ringing in San Francisco. You need a proven leader that can roll with the punches ahead for the day. You need Steve Jobs. Sorry, couldn’t resist. This video has been posted just about everywhere else, but if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to […]
If you’ve taken the time to download the iPhone SDK, open up the Aspen Simulator and go to the home screen. Now, go to Hardware menu and chose Lock. SpringBoard (the home screen icons) explode outward to reveal the lock screen. You got a hint of this effect if you have a Jailbroken iPhone, as […]
Someone else was talking to me about AppleCare, and how service technicians have access to Apple Service Diagnostics (ASD) discs. Now, I have a few of these, but not all of them. They’re great for maintaining my practical developer lab in-house, and making sure none of the hardware is broken. What I don’t understand, is […]
A bit delayed, my new MacBook Pro has arrived. I had to order it online to take advantage of my developer discount… normally I get them the day they come out at my local Apple Store. I’m a bit surprised at the lack of depth of a few of the reviews out there. My new […]
I like HD-DVD. I don’t like oppressive regimes. So, I have mixed feelings that China and Toshiba have teamed up for CH-DVD. CH-DVD is essentially HD-DVD with slightly different encryption. There’s no difference in the discs or way the discs are played other than that. The difference is, it will win the format war in […]
Best Buy is once again selling the Western Digital Passport 320 GB 2.5-inch USB 2.0 hard drive for $149.99. Use a 10% Off Coupon to bring the price down to $134.99. This is a very good deal for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a small hard drive with huge capacity. It only needs a […]
One thing that bugs me about Apple’s insertion into the phone industry, is their snubbing of CTIA. I can sort of understand last year, Apple not wanting to provide live demos of iPhone at the show. The device was unfinished, and Apple is against showing off unfinished products to the public. However, this year, not […]
Mac OS X 10.5.2 is now out, and it has some very upsetting things about it in regards to Time Machine. Specifically, while 10.5.2 will happily talk to Apple’s Time Capsule, it still has problems with network-based shares on all other platforms. That includes AirPort Disk, Windows Shares, and Mac OS X network shares. Here’s […]
As expected and previously announced, Netscape Browser marked its end yesterday. The browser has been removed from download by AOL. Now, Netscape did promise to keep the components that made Netscape different from Mozilla Firefox available for download… but did they? The answer appears to be (at least partially), no. Netstripe, the official theme for […]
Available to all Apple Developer Connection members (including free “online” members), Apple is offering a new beta of an upcoming Safari update. The build numbers differ, but it is available for Windows, Leopard, and Tiger. The current version target is 3.1. ADC Connect
