iPhone Impressions
Filed Under Mac, iPhone | Leave a Comment
Daring Fireball’s first iPhone impressions:
The auto-suggest correction system works pretty damn well, considering it hasn’t yet had a chance to learn much about what and how I type. Most impressive touch: it knows the word “fucking”.

Digital Immigrants
Filed Under Mac | Leave a Comment
I love this term, “Digital Immigrants”
Kirah defines ‘digital immigrants’ as people who were not born into the digital lifestyle and view it as a distraction rather than an integral part of life. The younger generation of workers have been using computers and mobile phones since birth and she calls them ‘digital natives’.

ZDNet says OS X Copied Vista
Filed Under Mac | Leave a Comment
Don’t be too hard on Mary Joe Foley who writes for ZDNet that Leopard looks a lot like Vista:
Granted, I am not an Apple user. So I’m sure I’m glossing over some subtleties regarding what’s new and cool in Leopard. But given how often I hear the “Redmond, Start Your Photocopiers” message, I was thinking […]

OS X on Non Apple Hardware
Filed Under Mac | Leave a Comment

Solaris Indiana to Become More Linux Like
Filed Under Business, Programming, Solaris | Leave a Comment

The project is one of the items on the to-do list of Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian version […]

Filed Under Fun | Leave a Comment
The controversial ROM Crystal was open all night to allow the public a chance to finally see the architectural opening from the inside. Although early visitors had to wait hours for tickets, we went to see it after the clubs had closed (about 3 in the morning) and sailed right in with no line […]
