A Dipshit IT Guy’s Thoughts on the Tablet

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

InfoWorld's Randall C. Kennedy trolls for hits: Assuming a third-quarter ship date, this fruity new wonder could prove to be the hottest item under the Christmas tree. And that means that, come January 2011, IT shops will be inundated with idiot users lobbying to hook their iPads/iSlates/iTablets (iBricks?) into the corporate ...

Mr. Dudney Goes to Cupertino

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Bill Dudney is taking on the role of Application Framework Evangelist at Apple. I'm sad that he'll be leaving Colorado, but this makes every bit of sense. Bill knows his frameworks, to say the least, and his time as a teacher and as an indie developer make him uniquely suited ...

Competing With Apple

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

An extremely succinct explanation of why there was no iPod killer, there is no iPhone killer, and why there will be no tablet killer, from Penny Arcade of all places: You made a "product" to compete with their "product," tastefully arranging your regiment, only to discover that they hadn't made a ...

Monday, January 11th, 2010

The single largest feature addition to the iPhone 3GS, performance improvements aside, was video. Suddenly, the iPhone became an interesting competitor in the pocket-sized digital video camera space. While the pioneering Flip camera had clear technical superiority, why would I carry a second device for HD video when my phone ...

Fake Tablet Specs

Monday, January 4th, 2010

This is not real. There is no such thing as "Mac OS X Clouded Leopard v10.7". Aside from the fact that 10.7 isn't done baking, "Clouded Leopard" is a laughably awful name.

BetterTouchTool

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Along the lines of MagicPrefs, a BE reader pointed me to BetterTouchTool, which offers this priceless feature: Is it possible to deactivate one finger scrolling for magic mouse? YES, but only globally atm. You can do that in the BTT Mouse Preferences in the general tab.

On The Tablet

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Joe Wilcox has some interesting, if unpopular, opinions about the mythical Apple tablet. I don't necessarily agree with him, but it's good to hear a dissenting voice in the chorus of expectations. While we can say with some degree of certainty that Apple is working on something very tablet-like, don't ...
