PowerBook 165c... I don't really recall the internals -- i was new to computers in general (aside form my grade school days in front of an apple iigs), but i thought the built-in voices were amazing at the time, so i named mine after the most usable…

i still think the photoshop 7 icon was the pinnacle of their photoshop identity -- if you're making replacement icons, they should give a user a sense off what the app is even if the name is hidden, renamed, partially obscured, etc. that doesn't mea…

welcome to the Short Attention Span Era. thankfully, i am on the cusp of such an era, and therefore can (with effort) actually break down and read for longer than a few minutes at a time, as long as it's in the correct format. seriously, today's blo…

sigh, just listened to deion's ragging on parcell's wanting t.o. in camp practicing. now this isn't a post about t.o. or parcells, but about deion unable to keep his trap shut and see the bigger picture. then again, i guess that's why t.o. is deion …

aha! i found from a link to a link to a link that they are sometimes referred to as "corner CHARMS" which netted me way more results.

my bucs didn't do a heck of a lot on first-string offense, BUT a.) they never do in the first game and b.) the real story is how their 1st and 2nd round draft choices fare on the offensive line. O-line ineptitude has KILLED the bucs the last two yea…

it's sad but true. i have worked with plenty of windows zealots, and they have no idea what os x does or is. i tell them over and over, and they forget within seconds. then i can work with 98% of the files they give me, yet when i give them a file T…

as long as the thing doesn't weigh a million pounds like it used to (making the haandles completely unusable for someone barehanded), i'll be happy.

i kinda wish they'd just throw in an isight with every mac pro, like they used to do with plaintalk mics and the powermacs of old (even though most people just chucked them in a drawer). but i guess the production costs of an isight is a bit higher …

thank god i wasn't the only one who noticed that. yes, my first impression was, damn, he's looking really thin. there's a quick inadvertent comparison when he's standing in front of the screenshot with him getting the intel wafer from otellini (sp?)…

i wonder what happens if you're IN a set of Spaces, and then trigger Exposé? Anyone with a preview release installed at WWDC wanna try and report on what happens? ooh, or maybe trigger a option-shift-minimize on an app with lots of windows open, and…

i want to make something clear... go review the keynote movie if you like, but steve was VERY CAREFUL NOT to call Spaces "new" but "new to the Mac." so he isn't lying. it's called "marketing spin." see also: "political spin."

i stand by my theory that steve stuck to those things that wouldn't crash, and labeled the rest "top secret." i mean, they're shipping next spring? that means there is still a lot of work to be done. and recall that they said tiger would be their la…

um, so when did i miss the part that ms office 2004 will suddenly cease to work on the new intel macs? oh, i guess running office in rosetta on dual core processors is just, um, too slow? seriously, how fast do you need office to friggin' run? even …
