Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
Winding down here. Week was a series of implode/explode moments. Ended on a good note that allowed me to transition into the weekend heaving a big sigh. In to the final chapter of the bathroom renovation project. Cut the check today after the contractor dropped by to go through the leak with me. A few […]
x180 article on setting up Subversion via DarwinPorts. Notes to self: (1) re-re-check out Subversion as a CVS alternative; (2) WebDAV!; (3) DarwinPorts as a Fink alternative?
Via tuaw: re: EFF’s lawsuits against Apple against blogger-spoilers… /sigh The thing that strikes me as holier-than-thou and self-righteous is how the EFF goes straight for the throat and likens the situation to Deep Throat. A more suitable comparison could have been found, I’m sure. Nothing springs instantly to mind but let’s be honest here, […]
Another solid Gruber read: “Small, Cheap, and Without a Display” hammers the point(s) home re: iPod Shuffle and Mac mini. And a gracious admission of defeat on one point in particular. Gruber’s of the mind that the mini will be a moderate success but won’t succeed at it’s mission: While offering adequate performance for its […]
That’s what the rumors say, anyway: Aqua OpenOffice.org v2.0 has been cancelled. “…due to various licensing, political, and fundamental engineering difficulties…” 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
As promised, we’re back to follow up on my headless speculation (and my debunkery…) and put a few items out about the Mac mini right off the bat. Like some people, I think that there’s a lot to like in this little package. And I go back and forth on whether/not I think it will […]
Highlight reel! Caught the minute-to-minute updates on Engadget today. Fortunately, it interfered with my work only minimally… I was surprised in both directions by what came out of the keynote and can’t wait to watch it later on. Thinking I’ll wait until tomorrow though… So where do I lie on my predictions? “Headless” iMac: Fortunately, […]
So far, my headless iMac prediction appears to have been fulfilled. Apple.com/store is currently down. No big surprise there. Periodically checking the updates on Engadget but not really enough time right now to do a full entry. I’ll recap later on tonight, I suppose. But I get the feeling it’s going to be a big […]
Seen Cringely’s article/prediction now basically blogged to death all over the damn place. To throw my own two bits in: He makes a good point in that prediction. By market share w/ an “under-priced” (read: no profit) version of the iMac. It makes a lot of sense: …where I calculate they’d be losing $100 per […]
Update on my last post (jeez, I really should have broken that up more… — b/c as it turns out, I can’t resist participating in the iHome/headless-iMac speculation extravaganza. Once I spent a few minutes with the photos, anyway… Whether the “headless” iMac (I just can’t call it “iHome” — ugh!) itself is/not farce, the […]
