Someone has been driving up to women in Japan and spitting coffee at them!
Fortunately he was just arrested.
Japan….. a fascinating mystery to me still.

The man himself on the Intel sticker “controversy”:
Of course none of the Web “journalists” bothered to call and ask me, but my question had nothing to do with Apple or its computer design and all to do with a story I’m working on about the future of the long-running “Intel Inside” program. You’ll be able […]

I’m struggling to find a Mac IRC client that I actually like. Right now I’m playing with Linkinus which seems to have some potential.
One thing I dont like about all IRC clients is that by default they display all the joined/left notifications when people come in and out of the room. Honestly, […]

OS X designates a default app for all the file types on your system, so when you double click a .txt file, TextEdit opens, etc.
But sometimes you want to change those defaults and the absolutely best way is to install the free preferance pane took, RCDefaultApp.
RCDefaultApp lets you set which app will open for any […]

The Mac Mail Client Meme
Filed Under Mac | Leave a Comment
Suddenly every single Mac blogger is talking about why Apple’s own Mail.app doesn’t quite meet their needs and how it would be great if someone wrote an email client for ‘Pros’. And now lots of programmers may scurry off to write a Mail client for the Mac (just as we saw a sudden surge […]

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’.
I would have to […]

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
Where is it? When Apple made the switch to Intel for OS X everyone was predicting wide-spread piracy of OS X onto generic Dell boxes.
It’s not that no one tried - they tried! And there were sporadic reports of success. But for the most part it just didn’t happen. Kudos […]

You know, most new product announcements come off as sounding pretty much the same. Blah blah blah, new this, blah blah, fancy that…. You know what I mean.
