The New Macs
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009The mouse was the exciting part (to me), but this is incredible: the new iMac comes in a 27" version, has an available quad-core CPU, and supports up to 16GB of memory. And Apple loves saying unibody so much that they've redesigned the Macbook to feel more like the consumer cousin ...
Magic Mouse
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I've become so addicted to multi-touch gestures that I use my Macbook's touchpad even when connected to an external display. That changes today.
• What the Droid Says About Verizon and the iPhone
Monday, October 19th, 2009Verizon has launched an interesting iDon't campaign to promote their upcoming Droid phone. The commercial is pretty simple, listing a bunch of the iPhone's alleged weak points, each preceded by the epically clever "iDon't". In the end, we're told that Droid, a new Android-based phone from Verizon, will fill all ...
Nickels and Dimes
Saturday, October 17th, 2009And don't charge extra for wifi -- it just seems greedy. -Barney Stinson Sure, he was talking about hotels, but his words still come to mind while reading about the declining revenues of airlines who tack on extra fees for every little thing. Heartwarming stuff, until you learn that one of those greedy ...
TapLynx
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009Brent Simmons and NewsGator have just released TapLynx, an iPhone RSS application framework. I saw Brent give a presentation on the ease of building apps with TapLynx at 360|iDev, and I must say I'm impressed. Entire applications can be rolled out without any prior knowledge of Objective C.
Barnes & Noble E-Reader
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009I still think that the only people who buy the Kindle are gadget nerds or pseudo-intellectuals who want other people to think they read more than they actually do, but I must admit that the purported new B&N reader is pretty slick.
SnakE Oil
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Of course we already knew this. But now we have something to link to to help convince friends who are considering the SEO dark side. (via Kristofer Baxter)
10/GUI
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009People are excited about 10/GUI. And for good reason. The desktop metaphor is stale, and we would all benefit from a better idea.
Designing the NNW Icon
Friday, October 9th, 2009Because I'm apparently in love with Brad Ellis and can't stop talking about him, here's his writeup on the design process for both the desktop and iPhone versions of NetNewsWire. The decision to ditch the rings when the badge is present is an important one to note. Attention to detail and ...
AT&T May Allow VoIP
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009The rumor is that AT&T will allow Skype on the 3G network. Is anyone having such a great experience with AT&T's network that they're genuinely excited about what will happen when they have to share the network with VoIP traffic?
LiveView
Thursday, October 1st, 2009I can't believe something this useful and specific is free. LiveView takes an iPhone-sized chunk of your screen and sends it to an iPhone. Prototyping just got a lot faster. (Via Brad Ellis)
