“iPad will begin shipping soon and your opportunity to be part of the grand opening of the iPad App Store starts today,” the email says.
There’s no details about when the store’s grand [...]
Tech site H-Online has an interesting story today, quoting security expert Charlie Miller about his forthcoming talk at the CanSecWest conference next week.
He says OS X is full of security holes. There are lots more than in Windows, he claims.
And yet: OS X is a safer system to use. Why? Because, in the words [...]
If ever you needed a sign that Apple was a different kind of technology company, this is it.
What other computer manufacturer would remove its top-selling, hype-inducing, industry-altering new product from the prime spot on its website home page, and replace it with an obituary to an investor?
This is one of those “Here’s to the [...]
Fake Steve creator Dan Lyons just signed a deal to bring Steve Jobs to another small screen near you.
The half-hour series called “iCon” is billed by the presser as “a savage satire centering on a fictional Silicon Valley CEO whose ego is a study in power and greed.”
Making sure the barbs prick will be the [...]

Last year I signed up for a landline phone for my office. I wish I hadn’t for two reasons:
1. No one calls me.
2. Toktumi’s Line2 iPhone app, which adds a second, distinct number to my iPhone.
With a service like Line2, there’s no need for a physical phone at my place of work. I give my [...]
About a hundred years ago, while I was still a Windows user and thought that a Mac was what you covered in a cheese and slurped down for lunch, I whiled away way too much time playing a DOS-based artillery duel game called Scorched Earth.

A couple of weeks ago I canceled my MobileMe account. Why? Because it didn’t do the one thing I wanted it to do: share my calendar with my wife so we could coordinate our busy lives. That’s all.
I love MobileMe’s email, calendar, contact syncing (especially on the iPhone) and even iDisk. I gave Apple a [...]
On Windows, when you’ve finished using a particular piece of software, you close it with the X symbol in the top right corner of the application window.
Many switchers assume that the window close control in the top left of an OS X application window does the same job: but that’s not quite true.
On Windows machines, [...]
In the Hackintosh community, the MSI Wind is somewhat legendary for being the first netbook out there that could essentially run OS X out of the box, with all features working and no hardware hacking required.

[...] A New York City residents’ group has filed a formal, public complaint against Apple, saying that its lower-Manhattan Apple store is the “WORST NEIGHBOR in SoHo.” The group is vexed by not only the noise and lights of the building, but by the riff-raff Apple attracts, including: 1) “young teenage girls who screamed incessantly”; 2) overnight sidewalk campers who give SoHo the “appearance of a homeless encampment”; and 3) Apple employees who eat, smoke and litter on neighbors’ stoops.

Apple Store SoHo cited as a bad neighbor, on August 22nd, 2008 at 7:45 am
okay the employee thing blows. but did they go to the store management to tell them and to have them tell their employees to stop. what were they told by the management. if they didn’t complain, the management can’t be blamed for not doing anything cause they might not have known. did the store talk to the local police about the whole iphone day and the concerts and set up traffic control. if they did and it was poor then it’s the police that are to blame not the store. cause generally they can’t control what’s outside their lease line. they don’t have jurisdiction. if they didn’t talk to the local authorities then yeah, blame the hell out of them

Apple products might be nice at the beginning, but now they are becoming more like geek’s stuff. Things for those super geeks who do have anything better to show off.
I am so sick of listening to those geeky people bragging on and on about apple products.
Not to mention those sales in the store, they are the worst. They are disgusting. They don’t smile, don’t greet people, they don’t have any customer services basic skills. who do they think they are? Just a bunch of geeks selling some computer stuff.
With all these negative images of apple stores, apple staff, i am just sick to see an apple product now.
