Escaping the Cult of Apple Proves Rewarding Again (as usual)!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (0.0KB) | Embed Download: Edify on the Go! Sandisk Clip I thought I would still use apple mp3 players until I realized how much was missing from them. How broken and devoid of awesome features and how outrageously over-priced they were. Apple, like all cults, does an amazingly effective job (and mind you, I...

Bill Gates’s Last Day and Vision of Apple and Microsoft

This is in place of the Tuesday News Blip for this week.I got a huge kick out of this video. Very impressed with the diverse collaboration of so many well known people for this humorous anecdote of Billy boy’s last day. Also, it’s always amusing and cool to see so many well-known people just casually operating in their down time modes out of the...

The Woz

Woz. He’s so brilliant. But he just appears so gypped in the business world. Trampled on by cutthroat business sharks. But ironically he’s the smartest person with apple. The mind behind the first apple computer. Jobs definitely always pushed the sales. Woz is just a curious. He just looks so uncomfortable these days! Like uncomfortable with...

eReader Thumbs Down

eReader Thumbs Down

Jul 13, 2008

Just a recent update on eReader. So far this app has crashed multiple times and failed to download the book on my electronic bookshelf. With signing up for an annoying web-based account, the vexing crashes, and the books that never download, don’t get the eReader app; it’s just way too bug-infested, cumbersome, and a time-drain. Jott, and Todo, on...

eReader iPhone App

eReader iPhone App

Jul 12, 2008

Well, iPhone continues it’s assault in knocking off numerous other electronic devices. Along with GPS devices, household-wide remotes, now it’s the killer device for the Amazon Kindle Kindle. It’s also going to slaughter the less popular Sony Reader eReader.com released an elegant and intuitive eReader app on the app store. The app itself...

.abbu and .icbu

It’s just so cool that with the most recent software upgrade, Apple has adopted the very same — IDENTICAL — naming practice I personally use for a lot of my files. Naming files month-day-year is dumb because when scrolling through hundreds of date-named files (like photos) you want to see the year, then month, then day. Apple adopted that and...

iPhone: Mingling with Hollywood & Paving the way for solid Music Copyrights

Just to refute non-Iphone believers (haha!) like Richard Sprague who wrote: “Without even mentioning that the same functionality has been available on PocketPC, Palm, Nokia, and Blackberry for years, I just have to wonder who will want one of these things (other than the religious faithful). People need this to be a phone, first and foremost. But with 5...

iPhone & MobileMe Delays

Utter mayhem has been released with people’s bricked iPhones and server delays with mobileme. Despite those temporary delays, I’m still convinced apple has it in the bag and the fact that it’s juggling so much, merely shows it’s versatility. With mobileme launching two days ago, the transition between old school .mac and mobileme, the...

The Skinny on the Iphone 2.0 Upgrade

Well, the 2.0 iPhone OS upgrade should be out (for free, yes!) soon. The newly added Address Book search features, advanced calculator, and other trivial to incredibly useful tweaks and adjustments will further solidify and expand the intuitive features and potent features of the iPhone. Someone got a hold of an xml link from apple’s servers, apple tried...

iPhone Cannibalizes many Electronic Companies

iPhone Cannibalizes many Electronic Companies

Jul 11, 2008

Pogue’s recent article of the app store made me realize just how BIG the iPhone is from an electronic industry point of view. The iPhone won’t just knock of GPS companies, it will consume companies that sell house-wide remote controllers (Apple’s Remote app makes all such devices obsolete practically). It’s easy to foresee that the...

Apple’s App Store Review

Apple’s App Store Review

Jul 10, 2008

Conclusively, Apple’s App Store is sheer brilliance. Taking online merchandizing of great iPhone apps out of web browsers and into apple’s home field of iTunes from a marketing and a development perspective advances apple incredibly. This will further the music revolution making iTunes “The” online community for buying (and now selling)...

Theatricality of WWDC ’08

JUST format look nice I’m a die-hard apple fan. have been and always will be, I’ve even put “tinker with iphone SDK” on my todo list, but Okay, this is kind of a nuance comment of sorts, but I couldn’t help but noticing how many “empty sound spaces” there were in, albeit well-rehearsed and totally gnarly wwdc 2008...
