I know she’s not real, well at least not yet. But isn’t she a beauty? More here.

Boy, I can’t wait to see what Apple’s does in the NetBook space. With the ubercool MacBooks and the iPhones kicking ass over the past few years this is a space that Apple could very well dominate. Question is do they want to? will they? And how soon will they release it? Damn, I can’t wait much longer.

Safari 4 is out in beta. Looks like some competition from Chrome has done Safari a bit of good. They’ve come up with some really cool features such as the cover flow view. More details on features at the site. Gonna download it now and try it out. The download is just under 32 MB, so get started quick.

MyFonts is yet another super cool iPhone application. This app uses the iPhone camera. So if you run the application and scan some text with the camera it will detect the fonts used. you can email this info or just open it up with Safari on the iPhone itself. Amazing stuff.

And it’s now free.

sukritd — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 08:18:45 +0000

Read this article on Newsweek recently about how the media screwed up the Steve Job’s health story. Dan Lyons, who we know as Fake Steve, the author of this fantastic piece, explains how the media, like all Apple fanboys (myself included), worships the ground that SJ walks on. It’s quite scary if it’s accurate. Definitely a good read.
