3G iPhone imminent?? I guess no.
Well, the internet sure is going all nutty with the fact that iPhones are sold out all over the place, including the Apple Store with no words on when they’ll be back in stock. Apparently this means to many folk that the 3G version could be coming sooner than expected, some saying this week! Por [...]
Microsoft’s Brand Problem
I was checking out this cnet piece on Microsoft’s brand problem - in some crazy brand ranking list, Microsoft was at #59 - down from #11 in 2004. That’s a pretty hefty drop. I’m not really sure how they pulled the list of companies they ranked, but Apple isn’t in the list so you can’t [...]
Working for the big boys
I was thinking about the big tech companies… mostly the ones I kinda watch - so Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple. Recently it seems like there’s been a lot of shifts in the power dynamics of all of these places and with that shift in power came shifts in hiring patterns - at least as [...]
On the whole Apple SDK thing
Well, just in case you missed it Apple announced their SDK plans - I liked Ars coverage but Gizmodo’s had lots more pictures. Naturally I have some thoughts about it. I think, overall, it was a chock full of really good news for me the consumer on a whole bunch of levels.
The biggest wonder I [...]
No Mac for me!
Well, the saga of my sad mac continues. Brought that sucker into the 5th ave Apple Store (the only one of the 3 in NYC that had available time in the afternoon). I forget how deceptively heavy the iMacs are and how sharp those edges are - couple that with some light rain and the [...]

Reclaim your (OSX) memory with iFreeMem!
It was with no small amount of excitement that I came across TUAW’s review of iFreeMem 2.0. A long time problem of mine has been OSX’s memory management - my machine is constantly going into swap for no apparent reason and reboots were being forced much more frequently than I’d have liked. Bear in mind [...]
iPhone SDK in March now?
UPDATE 2: Well, looks like Apple’s going to have a March 6 event to talk about the “iPhone software roadmap.” So SDK news, yes. Wonder what “enterprise” means. I suspect it means trouble for RIM, but who knows. So, more news on the 6th. Sigh. Presumably that means no SDK till at least a few [...]
5 problems with Leopard Spaces
Ok. So, I like Spaces. Working as a developer for several simultaneous clients, virtual desktops are an organizational life saver for me. But wow, could it use some improvements, I mean, virtual desktops on Linux were significantly more useful over a decade ago - come on, Apple, how can you be so far behind on [...]
On the whole unlocked iPhones thing
Much ado has been made over the number of unlocked iPhones there are in the world. The NYTimes just published this piece going into some detail about the grey market. The furor comes from the discrepancy between the number of phones Apple reported sold last year (3.7 million) and the number registered on it’s approved [...]
You know why I love the iPhone?
It’s not because it’s the greatest single device I’ve owned (rivaling my love for the 650 when I first got that bad boy). It is because of what it’s done to the market. Competition is good. Think back…. waaay back… to a time before there was an iPhone, let’s say a year ago. Remember what [...]
