My understanding is that Apple can merge two Apple IDs over the phone, and that they are working on a way to do it from the web site. I have two AppleIDs, but not because I wanted to skirt some restriction. It was just out of general dippiness, b…

The official cause of death is the immediate cause, not the underlying cause. My mother died in 2009 of a broken neck, a broken back, both inoperable, spinal degenerative arthritis, three major nerves pinched in her back, rheumatoid arthritis, b…

iCloud will work on the iPhone 4S on Wednesday, but iCloud won't work on Macs without 10.7.2. It seems more likely than not that Apple would issue iCloud early. So far as I can see, it is like predicting that the sun will come up before it's light o…

Can we please shutter "shutter"? That's an overworked metaphor. Some years ago, a tornado de-shuttered my house. One of the shutters flew away, never to be found again. Since then, I seem to be tripping over shutters all over the web. Must be where …

"Trio of patent suits"? I have a quintet of objections to that, but I'll limit myself to this solo: Unless by that you mean three patent lawyers wearing suits and singing in harmony, it's wrong. The cardinal numbers in English are one, two, three, f…

I'm not a hater either. Microsoft is just irrelevant to my life, and I sometimes forget they exist.

Microsoft must have a lot of papers scattered all over the floor, if their sideways folder icon is photorealistic. When I was a Vista beta tester, I put in a bug report for that icon, because it unrealistically defies gravity. Microsoft characterist…

Microsoft actually has a market share! Way to go, guys! I agree, AirPlay within the house is fun to play with but not much use. I can stream everything through the Apple TV without it. I have never tried it, but suppose I sync a movie onto my iPa…

We must give credit to Microsoft for their innovation. They may have copied everything that Apple has done, but they have created their own logo. Ballmer is like a guy who tries to sell me an imitation Rolex that he has hidden in his coat. …

Long ago, VW introduced what they called the Volkswagen Bus. Not long after that, GM, Ford, and Chrysler came out with SUVs. Volkswagen's ad agency came up with an add that showed the GM, Ford, and Chrysler SUVs with the caption: Volkswagen introduc…

I dread Documents and Data. I have over 2,000 files, most of them iWork, and they are organized into folders. For example, I have a Funerals folder. It contains 17 folders with a name that contains the name of the person and the date of the …

I'm leery of this documents and data stuff, especially when someone says "it just happens." It sounds like I lose control of my files. Where does the file go? I need things to go where I want them to go. For example, today I conducted a funeral. The…

Oh, the poor dears! Imagine waking up on Wednesday and finding out that a whole new version of Lion just came out! They must have been so surprised. You'd think that Apple would have a beta program or something so that developers could prepare in ad…

In the just-so-you-know department: If you used Spaces a lot in Snow Leopard, be ready to lose some functionality. You can use control-arrow to move throughout the spaces as if they were on a carousel, just like before, but they are no longer in …

I'm impatient for Lion, too, but I'm thinking beyond that. "Lion" is the end of the line for cat-based names. They can't exactly put out "OS X Puddy Tat." So they are going to have to change species. They could go to birds. OS X Condor and OS X Eagl…
