So I plug in my iPod to synch it up, like I do everyday, and see the Apple Updater launch in my face with an "Important" update pending: Apple Safari . No thanks. I can't blame them, since Microsoft has used that approach for decades (two makes it plural...
I never thought I'd live to see the day when Apple would adopt the marketing practices of Microsoft . Don't believe me? Consider this my bruthah... Up until as recently as 2005, Apple would NEVER admit to anything coming down the pike until game day....
Yes, it's cool and long overdue (by most accounts) but it is cool. Nice that Apple finally lived up to their word on releasing this thing. Especially after so much hassle with jailbreaks and bricking and so forth. What a complete waste of everyone's f...
What a load of complete crap! AppleInsider has usually tried to stick to factual reporting, or some semblance thereof. But quite often, they fall off the wagon and start blabbering nonsense. Like this article on how many features IE8 steals from Safari...
I have to agree with most of what Paul says here . But one important piece he overlooked, with respect to movie rentals on Apple TV Take 2, is that the selection of movies you can rent SUCKS. It's horrible. If you ever wander through BlockBuster or Hollywood...
Talk about a mixed bag of feelings and perceptions. Vista garners more diametrically opposed feelings than almost any other software product I've ever known. I remember when XP first came out and everyone (read: EVERYONE) was whining about how you should...
The upgrade of my existing AppleTV 40GB model went well. It reboots about twenty times, and finally comes up with a new intro video segment. I kind of liked the old one better, but forget that for now. The main navigation menu system is entirely new....
My God! Finally ! I was starting to think Apple was acquired by Microsoft. Share this post:
Ok, forget my recent moaning about Apple continuously delaying the "Take 2" release for Apple TV. Here's where iTunes really falls apart when you deal with media management: The interface is horribly out of date. Time to give iTunes a new look. There...
Oh, how Apple has become the behemoth corporate sloth they so fervently resisted for so long. I can still remember, way back, when they would announce a new product and it was ready for the public that same day. Ahhh, yes. Fond memories. Not any more...
I've endured a ton of crap over my insistence that the Apple iPhone is not holding 20% of the "smartphone" market. Looks like more and more industry analysts agree. Like this article on Barron's for example. Anyone that accepts that ludicrous claim by...
It's getting harder and harder to distinguish between Apple and Microsoft these days. It used to be that the one that promised everything "now" but delivered it months later was Microsoft. Now it appears Apple has taken a liking to that approach. It's...
Talk about misinformed and imbued with emotional slant. This article on AppleInsider is just stupid . Aimless and dumb. Read the first paragraph and one in the middle and then the final. Unrelated. Meandering ramblings. Facts: Windows Vista was a major...
I kind of wondered why I don't see 1 in every 5 "smart" phones being an iPhone. Seems like there are other people asking the same question . Share this post:
Wow. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/01/22/apple_shares_tumble_in_after_hours_on_disappointing_outlook.html Share this post:
This has to be impossible. Apple Insider is saying that the next update, tentatively named 10.5.2, will include roughly 100 updates . Only Microsoft has to ever release updates for their operating system products. I simply can't believe this. I'm sure...
It's been a week already (almost) and I'm still waiting to get my AppleTV software update Steve promised us. Is this an indication that Apple is turning gradually into Microsoft? Making big announcements and then taking longer, and longer to actually...
According to AppleInsider and others, the pro-Mac sites are busy spinning a positive on the issue of Macbook Air battery replacement. For those of you living under a rock, the new "thinnest notebook in the world" by Apple sports a battery which cannot...
According to a joint survey published by Mindset Media and Nielson Online , they are saying that most Apple Mac users consider themselves superior to other lifeforms, such as the single-celled Homo Sapiens Microsoftus Windowus species. Or the Homo Erectus...
Does anyone recall this article from back in April 2007? It was when Steve Ballmer insisted Apple would never beat 2 to 3 percent market share with the iPhone? Although Job's cited Gartner numbers during MacWorld 2008 as having 19.5 percent of the "smartphone...
I know I often talk harshly of software companies, or rather, technology companies, but it's only because I love them. Tough love I believe they call it. Regardless, what struck me a bit this past week was the juxtaposition of two companies and their...
AppleInsider is cracking me up . I don't care what anyone says. The word is "NEVER". Yes, I know my mom told me to never say "never", but I'm saying "NEVER!!!!" There is simply zero business case for it. Enterprises which are entrenched with Windows or...
Warning, this might offend some people who have no sense of humor... It's amazing how many geeks I meet that have such devotion to a chosen software "platform". Not the casual admiration or respect mind you. I'm talking about outright religious extremism...
I have to admit that I feel like I'm standing outside of a swinging party, in the cold, with a half-empty cup of stale beer. I'm employed as a Microsoft/Vmware consultant after all. Not much "cool stuff" to be proud of lately. I suppose it depends on...
I have to wonder what it will be like when Microsoft is no longer the dominant player in the software industry. Nothing lasts forever. Nothing. Certainly business has taught us that well enough. Remember the dynasties of IBM, U.S. Steel, Xerox, and Kodak...
