The process by which people deal with grief and tragedy is marked by five stages. And with Apple recently announcing the delay of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard until October, Mac users are currently going through those stages (some faster than others).
This is a note aimed more toward the Colorado-based TAB readers. This Saturday the 21st of April marks the opening of an Apple store at Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, Colorado. Being that it’s just minutes from my home, I don’t think an Apple store opening will get any closer for me. [...]
Apple computers are well known for their long lifespans. In the late 1990s, while at UC Berkeley, vintage late-1980s Mac SE/30s powered
Currently on display at the Vertexlist gallery in Brooklyn through April 22 is the “Random Access Poetics” exhibition, which includes a series of iPod sculptures by the artist [dNASAb].
According to the gallery’s write-up, the sculptures are “continuously looping, wall hanging, painted audio/video sculptures. The sculpture actually provides the energy, and audio components to make the [...]
If you’ve ever used the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store, you’ve used their Concierge Service. You can sign up from Apple.com/retail from anywhere (not just within the store itself) for a convenient time that day and then head on in at your leisure. Works well enough and is definitely nice to [...]
I’ve been eyeing a 17 inch iMac G4 for sometime now. It’s pretty expensive at around $560 at WegenerMedia.com- not that much less than a brand new Mac mini.
I have thought about putting the 17 inch iMac in my guest room for use by any guests. It is a bit of a [...]
Andrew Sims is the host and producer of MuggleCast, the most popular Harry Potter podcast in the world.
I had the great opportunity recently to ask him a few questions.
Tell us a bit about MuggleCast, and its history.
MuggleCast started back in August 2005 when its parent website, MuggleNet.com, decided to look into the possibility of running [...]
In order to prove the superior durability of its new TruePower 65-Watt AC adapter, FastMac ran over it with a truck. And in true modern fashion, they videotaped the action and posted it to YouTube.
“Our new TruePower AC adapter is not only smaller than most 3rd party replacements it’s more durable. It can be dropped, [...]
With a couple little children (and another on the way!) I don’t get out to many movies. But this year if I only see 300 I think I’ll be satisfied. It looks just killer (no pun intended on the graphic nature of the picture), and I can’t wait to see it in all [...]
Has the next version of Delicious Library been completed and ready to pass on to the adoring fans? Looks like Wil Shipley (Delicious Monster’s founder, and former Omni Group head man) may have tipped his hat ever so slightly in a recent blog post. That’s where Weldon swooped in and began dissecting the [...]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Mac has evolved into something that fits the needs of any computer user. But I still hear the argument all the time that Macs are only for creatives. Or Macs can’t handle the same files that Windows PCs generate. Man, [...]
The way Apple approaches design, it’s clear that a lot of thought goes into their products. So should we really be so surprised to hear that they have a warehouse near their Cupertino campus that they use to house and build prototypes of their Apple Stores?
There’s a fantastic article at CNN Money that explains [...]
Swiss researchers recently demonstrated robots that artificially evolve ways to communicate with one another. In their experiments, the robots were set loose in an area containing two types of objects – one classified as “food” and another designated “poison.” The “poison” object was marked with a skull and crossbones, a common designation that has existed [...]
Many an analyst or Mac watcher has tried to quantify the “iPod Halo effect” around Windows-using iPod buyers who were so entranced with the iPod and iTunes experience that they gave Macintosh a try. While most now believe that the iPod is playing a significant role in leading new prospects to the Mac side, it [...]
Recently LifeHacker posed the question to readers, Mac or PC for Business? It’s been a somewhat common theme in recent months as Apple gains more and more momentum. Execs are being seen (and heard-of) toting MacBook Pro laptops around, in meetings, etc. It surely seems like a wave that everyone’s catching these [...]
Digg points to a nice write-up of the things you can expect when switching to a Macintosh computer. The list is compiled from an Apple users of a few years, but the items on the list are observations that have been made in that time. It’s mostly free of opinion, just stating the [...]
Those of us long in the Apple Camp are familiar with the trend of Windows platform entities copying our friends in Cupertino. (And yes, I know, the copying goes both ways. Always has. Relax.) The one most will argue about – regardless the stance you take – is the way the [...]
For those of you who weren’t in attendance at RubyConf (don’t worry, I wasn’t either), you missed out on a fun little role reversal.
The Ruby on Rails world is Apple-dominated. Seriously Apple-dominated. I’d wager to guess that 90% of the Rails coders out there are using TextMate on a MBP. Noting this, one intrepid fellow [...]
Apple’s iPod commercials always seem to be something of a phenomenon when they are released. I almost always end up loving the music that’s chosen for these commercials…Is it because it’s just plain good music? Or maybe it’s just because it’s associated with Apple products. I’d like to think I haven’t drank [...]
