My iMac setup: - Internal 250 GB SSD: System, most apps, and home folder. ~/Music and ~/Movies folders are symlinked to the external drive. - 1st external (USB 3) 4 TB HD: Time Machine Backup of the SSD, Music, Movies, lesser-used Apps, and…

Be sure to check out Session 206: What's New in Ovens and Washers.

SQUARE IPHONE Also, this is the third WWDC in a row that the intersection in front of the Apple Store will be under construction. What gives?

They're not reaching out to "select developers". A number of people's purchases failed with an error message on the last step of the transaction, after they had added the ticket to their cart and entered their payment info. Apple's contacting thos…

It sounds like Luba Goy doing the voice-over in that video.

Wow, that is an incredibly beautiful machine.

I encourage everyone to download and try out this software. It's a great reminder of the crap people have to put up with on other platforms. No retina graphics. It's slow. Pinch to zoom is wonky. Search results are not centered on the map, so w…

When pigs fly. There's very little doubt they've worked on porting OS X to ARM. Why wouldn't they? I'm sure there are much more interesting projects they are working on that will never see the light of day. Maybe someday it will beco…

Anything is more rugged than the cheap plastic Nexus 7. Mine only lasted a couple of months of light use. Asus has severe quality control problems. The Nexus 7 glass can become separated from the case, and when that happens the screen can crack r…

Neat hack, but mostly pointless. When the 1st iPhone and iPod touch were released then Jailbreaked, we saw a flood of really excellent 3rd party software for those devices. The Apple TV has been Jailbreaked for awhile, but where are the apps?…

Here's a screenshot of an app I wrote for browsing the file system: Notice the path bar just above file list. Normally, it shows the path to the current folder, just like the regular Finder path bar. But, once we enter the Mobile Documents …

Here we are at version 3 of WebOS, on its fastest hardware yet, and it's still slow, buggy, and power hungry. The UI is pretty, as usual, but it's still a mess under the surface. WebOS was a hail mary attempt from Palm; after years of trying t…

Unlike the iPhone 3G, which always had serious performance issues, there is virtually no difference in performance between the 3GS and the 4. While there are real technical issues that prevent, say, multitasking on the old 3G, there would be no…

Is it just me, or do those new GUI controls (buttons, sliders, etc.) look cartoony and cheap? It reminds me of those cheap Linux UI themes that tried to duplicate the Aqua look without copying it pixel for pixel. You can't do better than Aqua.…

I don't like that power button so close to the delete key. I hit the eject key by accident all the time; if that was a power button that would be very annoying.

I'm still waiting for the Retina Display MacBook Pro: 2560x1600 13" display, and Mac OS X 10.7 with Resolution Independence.
