I’ve been reading a lot of hubbub about the new Apple iPad not having the capability of displaying Flash. Of course! It stands to reason that it can’t, it has the same OS as the iPhone, which, also can’t display Flash. Which leads me to think, why do we need flash?
Answer is, we don’t. Not [...]
Yesterday, as everyone — including me — expected, Apple introduced their first big foray into the tablet computing market (if you don’t count the iPhone as a tablet) called the iPad.
Which, even I, as an Apple fan, has to admit– is a stupid name. iSlate, or even “Tablet” would have been better, but, whatever. (Plus, [...]
When I moved to the current theme, I received a couple emails telling me that the theme is hard to read on an iPhone. So I fixed that. If you browse to the blog on an iPhone you will now receive a completely different screen and interface, one that is very iPhone compatible, user-friendly, and [...]
I am not sure if Instapaper has apps for anything other than the iPhone, and I kind of doubt, if that exclusivity exists, that it will last any amount of time.
Instapaper is one of those new 2.0 companies that is web/app based. They provide you a free log in to their website, which by the [...]
Like every other retailer getting ready for the Holiday season this year, Apple, on the back of the biggest Quarter in Apple history, which saw their stock jump almost 10 dollars in one day, announced a few new products into the pipeline yesterday. Let me just share a couple thoughts on these and then we’ll [...]
Managing To-Dos
As I promised a follow up post to my previous blog post here.
I stated, I try to manage things through Todo lists. When I read an email that I need to take action on, I make a ToDo out of it. Simple to complex, I make a ToDo out of it. [...]
Awhile back Apple decided it was going to reject the native (as in “non-web-app”) app for Google Voice from Google, citing that it “duplicated functionality the iPhone already had”. Which, by the way, is against the developers terms of service for developing iPhone apps. Now, I have heard a bunch of blowback against [...]
Quick background — I used to be in the Army. I joined the Army in 1997, and got out in 2003. In the Army we used to have this thing called a PFT, or Physical Fitness Test.
One of the events in the PFT was a 2 mile run. I was always pretty [...]
Haven’t Blogged in awhile, I’ve been working on some other stuff as well over at dearcupertino.com.
For those of you that haven’t seen, here’s a bit of mac news, Apple released iTunes 8, a new set of iPod Nano’s (going back to the more vertical shape), updated and dropped the price on the iPod Touch, as [...]
Every year, one of these comes out, where a list is posted somewhere on the internet of all the things that the freshman this year will not know, or do know, or will never know. I always find this list very interesting, kinda puts things in perspective.
Granted I am not that old, but still, I [...]
