Does Apple’s Mighty Mouse Suck?
A recent article in TechCrunch takes Apple’s Mighty Mouse to task, and we have to agree that they raise a lot of good points. Before getting into the aesthetic of the mouse, and the whole form-or-function debate, we have to address the trackball. When the trackball works, it’s great. Scrolling up and down, and side […]

30. March 2009
Despite the upcoming launch of the iPhone OS 3.0 and rumors of a significant upgrade to the iPhone itself, Mike Abramsky of RBC remains cautious about Apple Stock, and is maintaining his “underperform” rating on the stock, along with his $70 price target. Abramsky wrote in a note to clients that Apple isn’t likely to […]

30. March 2009
John Martellaro has an interesting piece up over at The Mac Observer where he lists 10 not so great things about working at Apple. Martellaro himself spent 5 years working at Cupertino from 2000 to 2005. One of the more interesting items on the list has to do with Apple’s apparent lack of desire to […]
Continue reading...Microsoft’s latest commercial misses the point
29. March 2009
Microsoft’s latest commercial has been getting a lot of buzz over the past few days, but lost in the discussion is whether or not the ad is even effective in the first place. I, for one, thought the ad was pretty entertaining, but feel that it ultimately failed to adequately address the actual reasons people […]

23. March 2009
I came across two articles today discussing how medical professionals are increasingly turning to devices like the iPhone to help them in their day-to-day practice. When Apple unveiled the new iPhone SDK last week, one of the presentations involved hooking up an iPhone to a blood-pressure pump. The ability to have an iPhone interact directly […]

23. March 2009
The iTunes App Store has been the source of a number of success stories, whether it be a farting app raking it in by the thousands, or a lone developer making over $250K in just a few weeks. But one of the more impressive, though less heralded, app store success stories has been that of […]

20. March 2009
A great and must-read article over at Counternotions explores how Apple’s latest iPhone 3.0 announcements will further cement its lead over its competitors. The new iPhone OS finally brings some long sought after features to the iPhone – Cut and Paste, MMS, and Push Notifications all come to mind. And while those are welcome improvements, […]

19. March 2009
I realize this is ancient news in Internet years, but I haven’t yet had a chance to touch on Jon Stewart’s complete destruction of Jim Cramer on last week’s The Daily Show. Stewart brilliantly took Cramer to task over the way that he, and his CNBC cohorts, have relayed financial information to viewers over the […]

13. March 2009
A friend of mine recently installed OS X on a XP loaded netbook, and his initial reports are enthusiastically positive. The machine is fast, video chat on iChat works like a charm, screen sharing is no big deal, and as far as he can tell, he’s basically running a Macintosh machine. And all for under […]
