Way to go Apple! From my comment at OSNews:
What seems to be the hidden story in these Q3 results is how incredibly well the Intel switch is going at this point. Apple sold the highest number of Macs in a quarter since 2000, yet the desktop sales went DOWN, due to people waiting for new […]

I think it’s so cool that Intel’s upcoming notebook platform is code-named “Santa Rosa” after my home town. It just makes me feel like I live somewhere special (as if I didn’t think that already!). Hooray for Santa Rosa!

Just when I thought Apple bashing was finally fading away from general computer industry discourse, some dude publishes an editorial on OSNews.com that is fancinating in its extreme bias, misleading premise, and un-factual conclusions.
Read my rebuttal here and let me know what your thoughts are. I fully admit I’m an Apple fan (I first switched […]

I checked out the new MacBook a few days ago at my local Apple store, and I was quite impressed. I thought the iBook design couldn’t be beat, and I still like my iBook G4 a whole lot, but the MacBook (even with the slightly bigger width) is a small, sleek bundle of power that […]

‘Tis the night before Tuesday, and all through my brain, I’m hoping tomorrow brings joy and not pain!
Ugh. Leaving aside for a moment my horrible poetry skills, I’d like to tell you how excited I am about the new MacBooks that Apple is about to release. It’s not certain tomorrow is the day, but it’s […]

Wow, I just found out about this. SketchUp, a cool 3D sketching and modeling tool “for the rest of us” that I played around with at Macworld this January, was recently bought by Google and is now available for free! (There’s still a Pro version for sale though.) Unfortunately, the Mac version isn’t out yet, […]

If you’ve ever wondered how OS X launches an executable and what format an OS X executable is in, you’ll want to read this. It’s kind of surreal to read it in the middle of the night after a two-hour-long coding marathon. Kids, don’t try this at home….

The best word I could use to descibe what Macworld felt like earlier this month in San Francisco is crossroads. Apple is at a major crossroads, one of several in its astonishing and dramatic ~30 year history. The success of the NeXT takeover…oops, I mean aquisition…the iMac, the release of Mac OS X, and now […]

I won’t even try to speculate what will be unveiled at the Stevenote next week. All I can say is this:
2006 is the year that Apple changes everything in the computer industry.
The year of the iPod was clearly 2005. I hope the year of the Mac just started.

As much as I’m a gigantic Apple fan and own several Macs (happily switched from the PC in 2001), I have to say all these grandiose predictions of a formidable “Mactel” conglomerate seem pretty far-fetched. Windows will continue to be a dominant OS and Intel will continue to sell a bucket-load of processors through Dell, […]
