Apple!
So Apple had their big all hands internal meeting today and a bunch of interesting stuff was discussed. Check out ars technica for the big report.
Here’s what I take away from it:
· Steve said that they have the “best Macs” in the new product pipeline ever right now, and that the stuff coming out in [...]

iPhone plan pricing
Well I guess Apple and AT&T have let the cat out of the bag - and damn, it’s a nice cat. TUAW reports that all plans come with unlimited data, visual voicemail, 200 text messages and rollover minutes.
· $59.99 for 450 minutes
· $79.99 for 900 minutes
· $99.99 for 1,350 minutes
That seems good to me. T-mobile [...]
Why AJAX doesn’t replace apps on the iPhone
Ok, so I spend a little time thinking about the iPhone, it’s almost launch time, isn’t it natural? I am firmly in the camp that the AJAX as SDK announcement was a load of horse nuggets that Steve knows and Steve knows we know, but Steve also knows we got nothing to do but take [...]

I’m not a Safari switcher
So I hadn’t used safari for any significant period of time in the last year or so, but with Safari 3 all out and buzzing and Robb saying it was a better user experience I figured I’d give it another shot. DL’d the new version and ran it as my main browser (not for some [...]
Computerworld takes on Apple
So it is inevitable that the rising hype machine that is Apple was going to start getting dinged for perceived failures. The latest and biggest was the launch of Safari for windows. Now I have my own particular thoughts on why they did it and what it’s short term success rate is likely to be. [...]
Safari hits 1mil downloads for windows in 2 days
Apple recently announced that they hit 1 million downloads of Safari for windows in 48 hours. I think this is a testament to iPhone hype more than any dissatisfaction with current browser technology. If I had to lay a wager, I’d guess a lot of the downloads were from folks who also downloaded Firefox, more [...]
More thoughts on Safari and OSX
I literally just posted a post on Thurrott deciding he’s the man. Scott makes the point (in the comments section) that he follows up his posting immediately with a post saying how awful Safari is on Mac’s, let alone windows. And the whole thing got me thinking some more.
First of, Thurrott states his idea that [...]
Paul Thurrott thinks he’s brilliant
It’s funny how the fake news is often better than the real news. Fake Steve Jobs points to this article by Paul Thurrott where the man quotes a different article that he also wrote and goes on to say how insightful that other one was. It’s all about how he has figured out that Safari [...]
More thoughts on iPhone and its development situation
So because I’m so increasingly sad about my Treo 650 I spend no few brain cells thinking about phones, and if you’re thinking about phones you may as well be thinking about the iPhone, right? So that’s what I do. In particular I’m thinking about the situation with it’s developer relations - what with Jobs [...]
Apple WWDC. meh.
So yesterday was the big day - the WWDC 07 with Steve’s long awaited keynote. It came and went - I found the whole thing kinda snoozy. Most of it was a rehash with maybe a little more detail from last year’s show - going over all the Leopard stuff again. I think one reason [...]
