Comments Off on How Apple pays attention to the little things
Today I was audio chatting with a friend via iChat and noticed that while the chat was on-going, iChat no longer played any alert sounds when I sent an instant message or received one.

Citing sources “close to the discussions”, TheStreet is reporting that Verizon has done an about face and is no longer planning on selling the Palm Pre on their network.

I think I have a problem. I can’t stop looking at Microsoft’s atrocious Windows 7 launch party videos. They’re just so bad I can’t stop watching. By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen Microsoft’s video guide on how to throw your own Windows 7 launch party, but there are also a few videos of what […]
