Give Us One Minute

Two evenings ago I had time to watch the WWDC Keynote presentation. During the presentation, Steve Jobs introduced the new iPhone 3G. A new hardware version of the current iPhone. The new hardware specs include 3G connectivity (for a 2-3 times speed increase over the current Edge network) and built in GPS. They also claim [...]

As you know, we love our Macs and we are also huge Google fans. This article from Mac ‘n Goog has some interesting ideas and thoughts about how to combine the best of the two and what they would like to see Steve Jobs release during tomorrow’s World Wide Devlopers Conference. Check it out.

{Update 3: They’re back! Now you have the option to download the software and install on your own USB drive, giving you instant access to the software. Another complaint about additional documentation was also corrected. We’re still going to wait as we have read online that you can actually download all these components for free [...]

{Update: Everyone should be aware that this issue has been resolved now that Apple has finally updated their AirPort firmware and OS X 10 to support backups to AP over WiFi. That should save a few of you some reading and tinkering around time. - the management}

In a nutshell this simply means that various online apps are being recoded to recognize when an iPhone is being used to access the tool and then presenting the application and in a format that better [...]

Well, we did it. We pre-ordered a Mac OS X Leopard Family pack (5 computers) from the Apple Store (and used our $100 iPhone credit to knock down the price to boot). Estimated delivery is the same as the release date, October 26th, 2007. Wanna know why we’re excited about the new version of the [...]

And we’re not afraid to use it. We just tried capturing a screen shot, annotating the image and uploading it to our Flickr account. It works well and gee is it fun! We are going to play with it a bit more and see just what this little app from the Plasq folks can really [...]
