Oftentimes Apple has been referred to as the BMW of the computer world - high quality, stylish, and expensive. And for anyone that’s ever unpacked an Apple product, dealt with Apple technical support, or even visited an Apple retail store, it’s blatantly obvious that Apple wants you to feel like it’s products are worth every [...]
21 years ago today, Apple introduced Macintosh to the world. Its been a great 21 years. (never-mind that I have only been around for 16 of them). A video has surfaced, kept on beta-max for 21 years. Restored and released to the public for the first time, it shows a spritley young Jobs presenting Mac [...]
I present to you now…
For your Friday night viewing pleasure…
Apple Ads!
I found this site after seeing this great compilation of ads.
Merlin Mann has a terrific weblog called 43Folders that’s GTD (Getting Things Done) centric, but also heavily favoring Apple’s OS X. There are non-Apple readers of the site, but mostly things revolve around Macs. Great reading when you’re through with TheAppleBlog.
Anyway, like many groups, Merlin made the effort to round [...]
PC users like PCs. They enjoy using them, building them, tweaking them. Some may even develop a special liking for a certain machine. Mac users on the other hand, love Macs. We feel a connection to every peice of hardware and software. It speaks to us, becomes a part of us. Our own machines become [...]
I now present, for your reading delight, The Blog of Steve Jobs. It seems that he and I share some similar opinions about communism and the head of M$.
EDIT: At the very bottom, it says, “a parody”. But I’m not sure…wouldn’t Steve have sued them by now?
In the past week or so, we have seen keynote speeches from both Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs, and Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. Gates’s CES keynote was filled with negative comments, including his comparison of “free culture” advocates to communists. Job’s speech, on the other hand, brought nothing but joy and happy-happy feelings into the [...]
Wired’s got a cool article about the insanity the iPod Shuffle caused at the conclusion of Steve’s Keynote yesterday.
…at the close of his Macworld keynote address at Moscone Center, Apple CEO Steve Jobs had said he’d “heard a rumor” that the iPod shuffle was available at the nearby Apple Store, two blocks north.
Quick and fun [...]
Can you tell me what’s wrong with this picture?
Ok, maybe it’s just my interpretation of this Ad image. But what is the girl looking at? There’s no screen on the iPod Shuffle. Plus, with only 5 buttons (which come in a very common configuration) I don’t think it’s necessary [...]
The first issue of Free Software Magazine is out and one of the first articles is on the ecology of Mac OS X. THis is a walk through about OS X, the options open to developers and why this makes it such a cooll platform to develop on, whether developing commercial or free [...]
Now that Steve has ushered-in this new era for Apple in the form of the Mac Mini, those of us who already know/love/use Apple computers have a duty to fulfill.
So many people will be flocking to this new low-priced Apple, to try it out for the first time. So many people have wanted to [...]
In a recent photo essay done by a photography who was able to spend some time with President Bush in his daily routines, he snagged a picture of President Bush sporting a 4th generation iPod.
The Guardian has a great article about the mind-set of a Mac-head. It discusses how the novelty of being a select few will soon wear off as Apple moves farther into the main stream.
Wired posted quite the interesting article about 2 men who, for six months snuck into the Apple Headquarters to write a script. 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, for 6 months, Ron Avitzur snuck into his former employer’s offices to write a Graphing Calculator program that had been previously abonded (which landed him [...]
There’s an awesome story at PacificT (the current owners of Graphing Calculator) about the history of the app. It’s written by Ron Avitzur, the guy that made it happen - skunkworks style - after the project had been canned by Apple.
Very entertaining read if you have a few extra minutes. The idea [...]
A school teacher in Orange County, CA has created his own iPod Mini ad in his spare time. He did it for fun, and has no connection (yet) with Apple Computer. The ad’s production qualities are superb, and display the kind of fanatacism that Apple products tend to garner.
The Ad is [...]
Its so sweet! And geekey!
So the day is almost here.
I got this idea when my girlfriend fell in love with the iPod this summer after seeing my cousins´husband´s iPod in action.
Great, I´ll get her one (which we both can use) for our anniversary I thought.
When I got online to order one from the Apple store, [...]
