Just a quick reminder. Don’t forget about Apple’s special one-day shopping event with tons of killer deals and free shipping for all good boys and girls.
I know I won’t even think about stepping foot near any retail store on Friday, but I might make use of some sweet online deals. Do you usually take advantage [...]
Apple have posted a snazzy new commercial for the new iPod shuffle. It features Who’s Gonna Sing? by the Prototypes.
This particular commercial seems to be a small departure from the usual fast-paced, high-energy feel of previous iPod commercials with nothing more than a dull green background and dozen or so people changing clothes (showing different [...]
At the 2004 Macworld San Francisco keynote, while recounting the success of the iTunes Music Store since its inception nine months ago, Steve Jobs noted that the top spender on iTunes had spent $29,500.
While reaction probably ranged from shock (’Surely some kid just accidentally hit the Buy Song button thinking it was the preview [...]
Google is famous for updating its logo to celebrate certain events and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are not the only ones. TextMate, a famous text and source code editor for Mac OS X, celebrates Halloween in a rather pleasant way. First, it updates its Dock icon:
TextMate also displays a nice spider [...]
I never subscribed to .Mac, not even the free version, so when I read all of the recent editorials floating around, I really don’t have much to compare to. From a distance, .Mac looks pretty slick, but despite it’s appeal as an Apple product, ripping on .Mac seems to be the new hot thing. So, [...]
This is a fantastic idea. Roustem Karimov, who writes ‘Blog From Software Trenches’ had a very cool idea for a post. He’s collecting screen shots of the best designs of OSX Disk Images.
The most common that I’m sure most of us have seen, is from Camino. It’s basically a combination [...]
Well I’ve recently become a bit of an obsessor over OS X icons and must say my Pixadex collections are running wild.
Some months ago I ran across a preview of The Woodery by designer-of-all-things-yum, Danny Jones, but never saw it released.
So, I recently shot an email over to Danny and asked if I could taste [...]
InfoWorld reported that the prerelease version of Leopard handed out to developers at WWDC has been leaked to file sharing networks.
It reportedly has all the features shown at the WWDC, including Spaces and Time Machine.
Of course, this could also be a deliberate publicity stunt for Apple. This release most definitely does not have any of [...]
Airport, Leopard, Boot Camp, Bonjour. These are just a sampling of the many terms that Apple has used for different pieces of technology that they offer the world. These everyday terms have a way of seeping into our consciousness that we may not realize. It’s the new subliminal marketing. Think about it.
My [...]
Following in Redmond’s footsteps, Apple has pushed-back the release of OS X 10.5, code named Leopard. This comes just a week prior to the popular World Wide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, where Leopard is to be the center of discussions. Can we still expect to see the Leopard’s spots? It’s too [...]
This is gonna be funny: John Siracusa has posted a Bingo game that he wants folks to play if they’re attending the keynote in person. The bingo squares involve the various recent Apple rumors up to this event. I can’t wait for someone to jump up, yell “bingo!”, and summarily get blasted by the laser [...]
We reported a couple of weeks ago about the recent Apple/Nike partnership to created a killer pair of shoes…but this isn’t Apple’s first foray into the shoe market.
I present you with…the Air Apple:
Seems back in the 80s/90s, Apple decided to provided their employees with some sweetness kicks. Good stuff.
Tip: Al Cabino
I saw this picture and the first thing I thought was…(you fill in the blank)
“Help I’m in a glass case of emotion!”
Have you seen the Da Vinci Code yet? I haven’t. But no matter. Unless you’ve been under a rock you probably get the gist of it. Well Reader Darren tipped me off to the iCryptex site. A great parody, mashup, what-have-you of the Apple culture and the Da Vinci Code.
Worship [...]
The Apple Store online seems to point out the stray Mac - the PowerMac G5. The last of a dying breed of PowerPC based machines. The gasp of breath through those little holes in the front is strong. What will become of him, this Zeus of Macs, this fallen god of power?
Why upgrade him, of [...]
MacBooks are available in BLACK now eh? Well isn’t that interesting…
As many of you have wondered what Apple’s big glass cube was, it’s a store. It’s a new Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. This Apple store will be one of the largest built and it’s main focal point would be that of a 32-foot tall glass cube that would protrude [...]
Launchy. Only a windows user would come up with such a silly name for an application. In any case, Launchy seems to be the Windows development community’s belated and anemic answer to everyone favorite OS X app, Quicksilver. From the official description:
Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start [...]
Both ThinkSecret and
Apple’s newest retail store at Flatirons Crossing Mall in Colorado will hold its grand opening at 10AM on Saturday. I plan to be there (Nick will try to be there too) and will hopefully be one of the first through the doors. Join me for a night of Mac camaraderie, geeking, and good times.
I’ve set [...]
