It is arguable that Apple was more innovative with technology prior to Steve Jobs’s return to power. He dissolved the ATG, home of the original Cocoa, and Apple Data Detectors, and famously axed the Newton, continued development of which might have given us the iPhone as a platform years ago.
But the Newton’s brand had […]

A more realistic desktop metaphor

The recent attention to Apple’s patents on “piles” reminds me of an entertaining conversation Ryan and I had in 2005.
We were caught up in the HDR fad, and lamented how poor iPhoto is at managing photos meant to be grouped, as when auto-bracketing exposure or shooting for panorama stitching. As I said aloud that […]
iPhone dreams
February 7, 2007 – 9:32 pm
I know it doesn’t matter, but I have so many things I wish my next phone/PDA could do, I’m going to list them for my own amusement. Even though most of them won’t happen very soon, at least while the iPhone remains closed to native third-party applications.
I could manage data with specialized tools. […]

Besides being a very happy AAPL investor, I’ve been accurately identified as one of [them]… those Apple fanboys that narrow our focus away from the company’s competition, reading MacRumors rather than /..
What’s frustrating is how the Apple fanboy label is used to dismiss my viewpoint, implying that my judgement is meritless, clouded by the reality […]

With As the Apple Turns defunct for over a year, where is an unapologetic Apple fanboy supposed to get his regular dose of humorous zealotry?
Macalope to the rescue:
Is your wife there? Can you put her on the phone? Because… damn, woman.

The influence of Apple design on Nintendo is undeniable in this icon that appears upon successful registration of a product serial number on my.nintendo.com.

I want the Bluetooth dream, now.
I want my (future) iPod to wirelessly send audio to my home stereo, car stereo, and phone headset. I want these devices, in turn, to control the iPod. Then the iPod becomes my “music manager,” aware of my listening habits through all of life, and able to adapt […]
