People keep talking about how the iPhone’s going to ruin it for OS X and the desktop lineup. I’m tired of these alarmist headlines hinting at the demise of OS X. The share of earnings from mobile devices surpassing desktops and how Apple seems to be more concerned about iPhone developers (like giving Apple Design [...]

This year’s WWDC feels like Apple’s waking up from the coma that was last year to finally kick ass and take names and not the other way around. When you think about it, the only thing they got right was the iphone and ipod touch and those were sold high on promise and potential. Case [...]

Google Phone in Japan?: Largest Japanese Cell Phone Carrier to Adopt Android OS
According to the latest reports, Japan’s largest cell phone carrier will be using Google’s Android OS for mobile devices which is in turn based on WebKit of all things. NTT DoCoMo Inc. will remove advanced functions and services from its cell phones’ operating software, such as the ability to connect to the Internet, enabling the [...]
I’m really loving the iPod touch unlike any other piece of hardware or software for a long time. Probably not since well, switching to a mac in the first place. Of course, this raises all kinds of red flags because it makes me all the more dependent on the whims of one company. One thing [...]
Just got putting Leopard on another system. One of the things I’ve done is give Apple’s very own Mail.app a second chance. Not that I ever gave it a first. The last email client I used was Outlook Express mostly in combination with Hotmail. The only thing it did was create a terrible mess as [...]
Now that I’ve had some time to play with Leopard, I can say that I actually like it. I think a lot of the subtle design elements are still a bit unpolished and in flux (like the way they added the ability to make the Dock not shiny at the last minute) and yeah, that [...]
Great things come to those that wait. I love using Remember the Milk for task management (also available at rmilk.com) because it’s simple and easy to use while feature packed at the same time. If you’re on the mac, it’s even sweeter. One of the many things I wanted was a quick way to post [...]
Unless I was abducted by aliens whilst my mac was being tampered with, I can say for a fact that this past week has been challenging after installing the 10.4.9 update. Somehow I ended up reinstalling the entire OS X on both the macs I own and I was getting more beach balls than a [...]
Brent Simmons has just released a very big update to the public beta. This release is a major improvement compared to the last release especially in the stability and performance department as you can see from the release notes. For those of you missing the old style of tabs across the top, they are back [...]
I’ve been using the OS X blogging client MarsEdit for as long as I’ve been blogging on a Mac and I love every minute of it. You can literally maintain dozens of blogs and update all of them with the push of a button. It’s amazing how much this thing saves me time. I’ve used [...]
