The Twilight of The Macintosh
In the history books, you could call today the official beginning of the end. Today really marks the end of the Macintosh as an independent computing platform.
It’s Gonna Be A Full Pocket…
I just ordered my Palm Pre. Yeah, I opted for Sprint Relay instead of SERO long ago. Didn’t need the voice, and the unlimited messaging was more valuable to me. And, thankfully, Sprint woke up and gave Relay Data-Only people the Pre that they deserve. Most people on Relay Data-Only plans are deaf, and I […]
Don’t Forget History: Original iPhone & TV Out
There has been a lot of buzz about HD and iPhone lately. I’m sure you’ve heard something about that by now. But, let’s take a look at history for a second first, just in case the crowds at Moscone West decide revolt if Apple doesn’t announce iPhone HD at WWDC. When the original iPhone came […]
Kega Fusion Comes to Mac
Here’s a Christmas gift I wasn’t expecting… Kega Fusion has been ported to Mac OS X! Kega Fusion is one of the most popular SEGA Genesis + CD + 32X emulators out there, and the developer has just finished porting it as his first Mac app. This really opens up a lot of potential for […]
Apple Refusing to Close Exchange Loop?
Come June, iPhone users will be able to use exchange. Great. With a Mail2Web free account, you’ll be able to sync your world of devices on Exchange. Your calendar, address book, and device info can all freely flow to your Windows Mobile phone, all your PCs, your iPhone, even your iPod touch. But what about […]
Safari is Marketing, not Malware
A long, long time ago, I was having lunch with some Apple folk and engineers. I noted Safari for Windows, which at the time was top, top secret… and folks started to turn their heads away from the table when they heard I knew about it. I also noted how I was 100% sure that […]
Apple, Go to CTIA
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 […]
Suggest Some Bounties for iPhone & iPod touch Apps
Now that the SDK is imminent, I’m going to be crafting some bounties for some apps that I want to see authored. Why now? Because I want these apps to be mainstream, so that exponentially more people will actually use them. I want you to suggest some apps that you’d like to see sponsored. Post […]
iPod touch Requires Upgrade for Third Party Apps?
Something is becoming pretty clear; if you want to run third-party software on your iPod touch, Apple’s going to ask you to pony up for that $20 software upgrade. The software upgrade, for those of you that don’t have iPod touches, adds the payload of iPhone software. You know, the payload everyone has been complaining […]
Resigned to the Nokia N95-3… iPod touch too
I’ve come resigned to getting the Nokia N95-3. Spending far too much on the phone is something that I’m not that savvy to. But, then again, I did camp out 36 hours to pay $599.99 plus tax on an iPhone. The combo of the N95-3 and iPod touch appears to be the optimal solution, at […]
