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.
Apple shows its pride. Almost 1 billion apps sold at the App Store. Check out how Apple is showing off.
After a four month break, Apple is back with some great ads. Four to be exact. Here’s one to get you started.
Downloaded and installed Safari 4. Some real neat features. I particularly liked the way they display the history with a flip view.
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.
Querious is a new MySQL database management application written from the ground up exclusively for Mac OS X Leopard. Unlike mindless Mac OS X versions of applications made for Windows or Linux, Querious is a stunning new app that is precise and easy to understand, giving you full control without getting in your way.
And from the looks of it it looks pretty cool. All for just $25. Must try it out, I guess.
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.
Apple introduced the long-awaited MacBook Pro 17″ during the Macworld 2009 keynote yesterday. Some major changes include a built-in battery that Apple says will last up to 8 hours. This baby starts at about $2799 US.
Makes me wanna just hit the “buy now” button. Damn you Apple, you make me so greedy!
For the Mac users out there, here’s a cool application I recently discovered - stattoo, by Panic Software. It’s a rather simple app that adds mini apps to your desktop to show interesting information (i.e. weather, latest email, upcoming appointments, etc). It’s a little faster than using the Dashboard, looks wonderful, and unobtrusive enough not to interfere with other things you’re doing.
I recently ran into this post about Touchtype, a pretty nifty little application for the iPhone that allows users to use a landscape keyboard instead of the portrait one.
The default keyboard only switches into landscape mode for the web browser. This utility can’t quite add that facility to other apps, but it creates a separate application into which you can enter larger quantities of text and then tap a button to fire them into the main mail program. If you rotate your phone and then put it down on the desk, you can just about type with two fingers. It would be so much cooler if this were integrated into the iPhone interface and be available directly from all applications.
