Glenn Wolsey points out that the Design Awards have been named for WWDC 2007. You can see them by category, here.
A quick rundown:
Delicious Library 2 goes home with the Best Leopard Application award - can’t wait to get a look at that piece of software, eh?
Coda takes the Best User Experience award - [...]
Apple shed a little light today, on the lack of ZFS appearing on the Leopard information pages. It seems that ZFS will not be the default file system in Leopard - this much we’ve already deduced. But how exactly will Apple be supporting it?
is only available a read-only option from the command line,
Read-only [...]
So the argument goes that we saw a lot of eye candy from the Keynote yesterday, but there was a lack of useful features - of substance. In order from disagreement with this position, to moderate agreement, I present you the list of features.
First off, Stacks. We’ve been hearing about patents along these [...]
The past few Apple events have resulted in many people griping openly about the Keynote Speeches. I’m not sure at what point everyone put their cranky pants on and decided that the Keynote had to hit an imaginary bar in order to give them happiness, but give it a break already!
Lack of Hardware Announcements
It’s [...]
So obviously Leopard is on everyone’s mind with The Keynote just hours away. I know I’ve been waiting to see more of this cat for much longer than I like to admit. But as we’ve gotten closer and closer to WWDC, I’ve found more interest building in the form of 3 applications from [...]
Before my eyes could completely focus this morning, I was checking my email and preparing for the day ahead. Waiting for me in my Inbox was the notice that Microsoft (who bought iView Media Pro) had released their update to the much-loved media cataloging application.
Expression Media is the new iView Media Pro, and is an [...]
On my daily quest to look for Apple gear that I need but will ultimately end up not buying, I found this evening that Apple had redesigned the graphic leading to the Special Deals section of their online store - which was my tip off that the rest was probably going to be different as [...]
Quicksilver does an awful lot of things from the keyboard, but accessing windows that have been minimized isn’t typically in the cards. While some of you may choose to hide your application windows when not using them, I’m still of the camp that minimizes them - call it a Windows hold-over practice.
Anyhow, the screencast [...]
This is by no means a new bit of software, but I’ve finally had a reason to use it, and I couldn’t be more blown away. Synergy (not to be confused with the iTunes control app by Wincent) is more or less a software-based KVM switch…except it’s not…and it’s cooler.
So where a [...]
When I first read through this marketing program from Microsoft, I didn’t quite get it. The fact that Microsoft has a Mac Business Unit threw me there for a moment - why would they be touting Geniuses…? Then it dawned on me that it’s a seemingly lame attempt by the Redmond folks at [...]
If you haven’t checked the new Microsoft webpage for Surface, you’re missing out. Yeah, it looks seriously cool - and curiously like some haptics-style interfaces we’ve seen bits and pieces of before…
But riddle me this: Did Microsoft rush to release this incredible new way of interfacing with computer systems now, in order to [...]
So you know the warm and fuzzy feeling you get all over when you’re in the Apple Store to actually make that Mac purchase? It’s as if nothing could bring you down from that geek-high. Then you get the Best Buy style protection plan sales pitch. But I’m not talking about AppleCare [...]
Scott Stevenson of the venerable Theocacao, CocoaBlogs and CocoaDevCentral was given the go ahead from Wil Shipley to devulge some teasers of the upcoming (in October, along with Leopard) Delicious Library 2.
Delicious Library seems to be one of the elite applications for OS X that everyone talks about and loves. Its use of hardware [...]
About 6 months ago I covered the impending release of 10.4.9. I made the assumption that it would be the last update to 10.4 and that Leopard would be soon to follow… (As long as no one tells my wife, I’ll admit to being wrong on those 2 points - but nothing more!) [...]
Whether you’re mourning the news of Adobe EOL’ing FreeHand (in favor of Illustrator), or just in the market for a great vector graphics application, Freeverse is throwing you a nice, juicy bone. Until June 1st, you can use the coupon code, “freehand” to knock $30 off LineForm’s $79.95 price tag.
If you’re not familiar with [...]
Derik at MacUser has a very nicely written piece about the ability of MacBooks to handle 3GB or RAM. Apparently the Core 2 Duo based MacBooks (not to be confused with the first gen Core Duo MacBooks) are able to max out at 3 gigs of Memory. But Apple’s not keen on advertising [...]
I’ve written at great length about using Metadata to keep track of your files, even going so far as an alternative to folder hierarchies. But amongst the barriers to entry is the difficulty in actually tagging those files and subsequently keeping track of those tags that are being used.
While there are a [...]
Yup, it is indeed Tuesday friends. And being Tuesday, we’re lucky to see the release of updated MacBooks from Apple.
Now the base, $1099 MacBook comes in 2Ghz speed, while the Superdrive and Black versions both come in 2.16Ghz versions. All models come standard with 1GB of RAM, while the hard drives stair-step from [...]
We knew it was coming, and now there’s evidence in the form of a patent that seems to confirm things. Future iPods - hopefully meaning the next generation to be released - will be rocking the full screen display with touch controls. Although it looks as if the controls will be on the [...]
Apple has a new program available through their brick & mortar stores, called ‘one to one‘. For $99 a year, you can schedule sessions with an Apple Store employee - my guess is it’ll be a Creative, who teaches the general store classes - to assist you with everything from using iPhoto and making [...]
