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 [...]
Breakfast Links: Wire, Apple & Sand
Do you watch The Wire? I don’t, but the folks I know who do love it. More than that Freakonomics has been publishing a series of posts wherein they’ve got a Columbia sociologist sitting down in a room with a few gang members (young and old) who watch the show and then comment on it. [...]

Digital Distribution v. Digital Consumption
So the world is coming to grips with digital distribution - it’s easier for companies than distributing physical products, like cd’s, dvd’s or books and for many people it’s getting easier also. Broadband penetration in the States is low compared to other places, but there’s still a hell of a lot of people that have [...]
Thoughts on the New Apple Stuff
So another MacWorld come and gone. It seems that the world was not so excited by it, I’m not sure why - I thought it was a kick ass keynote. Except for maybe the Time Capsule, I was excited and wanted to own 3 of the 4 points he raised.
Time Capsule - I see why [...]

MacBook Air!!
Wow. So there I was reading some liveblogging on and off of the MacWorld keynote - on and off, that is till they showed the new MacBook Air! It fits into an envelope? 3lbs? 64GB SSD drive optional? Core 2 Duo? Intel shrunk this stuff just for Apple? 2GB Ram standard?? All this for $1799? [...]
iPhone Surges Web Traffic
When I traded up my Treo 650 for my iPhone one of the biggest differences I noticed (and that’s saying something because there were a lot of big differences, savvy?) was the web browser. The browsing experience, completely apart from download speeds, was like night and day - where I would subconciously dread doing anything [...]
My Macworld Prediction
So check it - fanboys have gotten all aflutter because the first signs of Macworld started going up, in particular the slogan “There’s something in the air.”
Now this blogger has consulted science, the diamond hard science of wishful thinking and believes that Apple will be announcing a big upgrade to AppleTV that will launch it [...]

Breakfast Links: Macworld 2008, Less Dieing & Dead man
Macworld 2008 is just around the corner and while I already thought it was going to be a big one. But when they quietly launched those completely whupass new MacPro’s and Xserves it really got the brain cells a tremblin’ - what could they have that was so unbelievable that new 8-core machines weren’t even [...]
