I find the OS X platform exceptional for development, but what buggy code I do produce is almost exclusively for the web. Therefore, I don’t follow what goes on at Apple Developer conferences – it just doesn’t concern me. But today I heard that Apple had announced a new iPhone at their Worldwide Developers Conference, [...]

Technology Apple to introduce more affordable Macs – it’s always those pesky ‘sources’ you have to wonder about. Unless Apple drops their prices by 50% or more (and without handicapping existing systems), I don’t think they are going to make any significant market share gains in this economic environment. Another phishing scam hit Facebook – [...]

The next operating system release from Apple, Snow Leopard, is going to include the CoreLocation framework already available for iPhone developers. And… Since Macs don’t include GPS technology like the iPhone 3G, CoreLocation will utilize a Mac’s existing networking hardware to triangulate the system’s location in a manner similar to the way the original iPhone [...]

The bird is the word… In a ‘who drew up the f-ing covenants’ moment, GM just received bailout money but is [insert still, perpetually, or if you feel like being witty, surprisingly] having problems getting labour costs in line.

Countrywide’s reach goes even deeper – “Friends of [...]

Because some of the employees behind it seem delirious. My monitor is an Apple Cinema HD 23”. It’s on the fritz – when I try to wake it up in the morning (or after any downtime more than a few hours) it takes anywhere from several minutes to several hours to turn back on. It [...]

Not particularly favorable. The world is getting a sexy little laptop with wireless-only connectivity and an irreplaceable battery – the MacBook Air. They are also getting a 1TB drive that works over the radio – the Time Capsule. This time next year, a bunch of MacBook Air owners will have laptops that lose their charge [...]

Agreed. No mention of quality control issues, although none of it will make any difference as long as the cheerleaders stay on board.

I found the whole bit from Piper Jaffray suspect, at best. It seems PJ completely blew their iPod projection, and the iPod touch isn’t breaking any records either. The analysts failed to mention that Apple was handing out big red sale flyers on Friday which subsequently wound up on shopping mall benches (hence, the draw). [...]
