Oh man, this is fun stuff!
He does kinda have a point, even though I must have the phone part of my iPhone, I think I use it for mobile internet (email, IM etc.) more than anything.

So our smartphones need a new name?

This is supposed to be a feature? Please! For anyone who thinks Apple has made a mistake concerning Flash, you need to watch this video all the way through! This shows just how right Apple is. And I continue to maintain that if my phone was flash “capable” I would be looking for ways to block it as I do on my laptop browser.
(Also ironically, I was forced to watch the video in flash on my laptop, but it looks like it loads an iPhone friendly version if you watch from your phone.)

Flash on Android. Nope, not the droid you are looking for!

Sure. Google’s free OS, built to promote their real bread-and-butter advertising business, is exactly the same as Windows, which Microsoft is very adamant about charging for. Go on.

Just one tidbit from the Macalope’s latest installment. It’s funny how everyone wants to predict the demise of Apple, but it looks like they are doing pretty well to me!

<blockquote>
Mr. Ma said that the iPad is a great device, but he doesn’t do much work on it. “Our tablet will be better than the iPad.”

So let me get this straight. The tablet LG releases will be better than the already released iPad? If LG is so full of good ideas, why didn’t they just release a tablet before Apple and just nip that competition in the bud? Give me a break.

Look, relax people. It’s still only a rumor. Can you understand that? Apple has not announced a device with the name iTV yet. If and when they do, then you can feel free to blow a gasket. Getting all worked up now just makes you look stupid!

iTV is only a rumor!

It’s fun to see that an Apple Keyboard of 20 years is still functioning, and recognized easily by OS X even with the ADB to USB adapter. Also, I completely understand the sentiment of using a particular keyboard (and mouse in my case). Though newer, I have a specific keyboard and mouse that I use that I find increases my productivity. Anything else feels foreign.

Sure makes me glad I use Macs! I just don’t have to worry about this sort of thing.

Who didn’t see that coming? Blocking or redirecting domains is a fairly straightforward and no-brainer for Apple to do in this situation.

Jailbreakme Blocked at Apple Stores

Put this in the 'saw that coming' category

I’m a bit geeky about cell coverage, and this app almost convinces me to jailbreak again… Almost. But I’m not messing with that big hassle again for the time being.
Still, very cool!

Ooooooo, this is fun!
I wonder how long it will take Apple release an update and make sure all in store models are updated as well!
Also, I couldn’t tell for sure, but it looked to me like that in store model was still running the original 4.0 (not updated with the new bars).

Jailbreaking the iPhone @ the Apple Store

Right under their noses

You know, we still have one of these at the office where I work. It’s about eight years old. It’s our network fileserver now. It doesn’t technically support Leopard (10.5), but I’ve got it running Leopard just fine. We have two large external FireWire hard drives connected to it, one for actually storing the files on the network, and one for Time Machine Backups of the file storage drive. Trying using a PC in any capacity that’s eight years old!
