plays well with others

by Rob Friesel

Perhaps this is stating the obvious but amongst today’s clamor of Apple’s miscellaneous product updates 1 was a related, relatively silent update:  the new AirPort Extreme. It’s an important but understated move that acknowledges two other products which did not get updated today:  the iPhone and the tv. Each model in the desktop line got […]

by Rob Friesel

A few months ago in my “pre-packaged Apple apps vs. Mozilla equivalents” round-up, I made mention of how Apple’s Mail (or the dreaded “Mail.app” if you prefer) application had mediocre signature support.

Statement one: The Postal Service’s video […]

Macworld predictions

by Rob Friesel

It’s time for Macworld and once again, we find ourselves compelled to give in to the net’s peer pressure and do a prediction round-up with a sprinkling of our own predictions. Best-of-the-web style: the honorable Chuck Toporek has some well thought-out predictions and a mini round-up of his own over on MacDevCenter. Highlight reel includes […]

MacWorld Prognostication

by Rob Friesel

Not mine. This one a “Vegas-style” top ten list re: MacWorld from over on the ZDNet blogs… My favorite: 8. iWork ’06. Apple’s productivity suite will get upgrades to Pages and Keynote with the possible addition of a modern Office-killing spreheet application (rumored to be called “Numbers” or “Sheets“). If it re and writes Excel […]
