News about Apple Tech (hard- and software), stuff I bought/use.

Farewell iDisk

With the transition of MobileME into iCloud, the one big thing I will miss is the iDisk. It was pretty sweet to have 20 GB of storage handy that was shared between a couple systems, as long as they had … Continue reading

Which iPhone? AT&T or Verizon?

All those people in the Verizon fan club got their wish last week in the US. However, for those who are on the fence, here’s a site laying out the differences until the iPhones really hit the streets under the … Continue reading

Mac App Store

This went live on Thursday (in the morning for us in the Western Hemisphere). I saw the sneak preview back when Jobs did a demonstration with the upcoming Lion OS. Initially, the reaction was “so what!” Agreed, software has been … Continue reading

New portable!

There’s no picture because it looks pretty much the same as my last one. I was able to recycle the orange Flyers-Bugs Bunny armor to protect it. The ports and capabilities are better since it’s a 13″ MacBook Pro. I … Continue reading

Greetings from my iPad!

It finally arrived after all my impatient fussing, which started as soon as I had a tracking number online. Thankfully it arrived two days early, I was jonsin’ by Friday evening. Overall, how is it? Pretty cool but I need … Continue reading

Upgrading or keeping up with the virtual Joneses

The original plan today was go to the AT&T Store (on I-35 & Parmer), get a better explanation on what’s happening with the mobile bill; it used to run between $110-115/month. After we made the change to pull back on … Continue reading

Magic Artist for iPhone

It was only a buck so if the novelty wears off quickly at least I won’t feel very guilty. How the author got it to pull off what appear to be a series of Photoshop filters or fractals, condensed into … Continue reading

My iPhone is operational again

Eventually, Somara and I will upgrade to the new fourth-generation iPhones (aka iPhone 4), just not this year because getting iPads are the higher priority gizmos. We are going to the AT&T Store in the near future (tomorrow?) to see … Continue reading

Pardon my iPhone…

…it might drop calls or do other freaky things for the interim. My favorite is the touchscreen becoming unresponsive. I hastily went through with the new iOS 4 upgrade. Probably because I was on a roll with how well I … Continue reading

One million iPads

The official Apple release is here. A pretty impressive milestone in four weeks and Europe hasn’t even come up to speed yet. It definitely has some kind of special allure because I have had co-workers buy them at full price. … Continue reading

Textie

As much as I loved Grackl, it hasn’t been working very well lately and I still have friends who insist on using SMS for baffling reasons. My friend Mark found a compromise app and successor. Skeptical? I was but I … Continue reading

Some iPad plugs with a week to go

The first one is a moderately funny bit involving Pee Wee Herman using an iPad. I can’t tell if it’s a real one or a prop though. The other is an interesting, thought-provoking piece from The Economist which I’m confident … Continue reading

Farewell Now Software, aka Up-to-Date

Mark M sent me the link last night/this morning. I’m not sure if it was the economy that knocked the company down for the count. I would say it was more the one-two combo of iCal being free and Nighthawk … Continue reading

Now to await my jetpack

The rumor sites could finally give it a rest last Wednesday, the iPad was announced, shown, demonstrated and I think it will be an awesome product. Admittedly, I work for Apple so there is an automatic bias but I was … Continue reading
