One thing Apple seems to like is implementing the newest wi-fi protocols even before the standard has been ratified. I'm pretty sure they implemented 802.11-G and 802.11-N before either were ratified. I've kept an eye on Wi-Fi Direct since it fir…

I just realized that, in all of the stories I've read about this, no one - writers or commenters - have noted that there is no way the iPad 3G has been out and in use long enough for this 98% vs. 2% statistic to be remotely accurate. When AT&T c…

I paid the extra $130 dollars for the iPad 3G because I believed Apple's and AT&T's advertising of unlimited data plans for $30 per month, contract-free, that I could purchase and cancel at will. I do feel taken advantage of and a victim of the …

Though probably not important to many - perhaps most - iPad owners, I would be grateful for a dock adapter that would provide an ethernet connection for Internet access. Other than that, I love the iPad as it does all that I need for it to do. It…

Much to my amazement, when I took a pause from my vacation last week to stand in line at the Apple Store in San Antonio, I got in line a little after 5pm and was still only the 30th or so back in the line. An Apple employee came down the line gettin…

Quote: Thanks. Yes, that's what I meant. Pages on the iPad exports because SJ said it would. Keynote and Numbers do not. I hope that Apple either makes a Windows Keynote viewer or updates iWork.com to unable full presentation of Keynote files. That…

In June of 2008, I posted this on AI: Quote: Now, for the more powerful, processor hungry apps, Apple could create a companion product that is essentially a desktop-class docking station for the Tablet. The docking station would have all the pow…

Interesting that there is no mention of the AppleTV in Apple's blurb of compatible hardware, though I'm sure the new remote is fully compatible with the AppleTV. I just find it interesting that Apple chose to highlight Front Row compatibility and…

I'll add that I was having problems with a new iMac locking up at random (performing a "Save" or "Save as..." in Pages, surfing in Safari, ...). Downgraded to Tiger until 10.5.1 and the graphics firmware patch came along. Took a chance on upgrading …

The rhetoric from Newsweek and other media outlets surrounding the Kindle is getting... well, let me just break about my hip-waders. Considering that Amazon is using e-ink technology that is no better than other e-ink readers already on the marke…

Bento is a Japanese word for a kind of boxed lunch. The food is packed so that each part of the meal is in its own section within the box. I guess the parallel with the app is that it brings several different sources of information (i.e., the food) …

iMac Graphics Firmware Update. Found this linked over at the iMac support forum on Apple's website. http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...eupdate10.html I haven't tried it yet, because I'm waiting to hear back from Leopard users on the 10.5.1…

Someone over at TUAW posted a link to a PDF list of the contents in the update. I'll link it here. I was looking through the list and on page 12, there is a chunk of file updates to ATI drivers. Not sure if these are the same drivers for the ATI …

Well, after daily freezing that happens whether in Safari or working on papers for my graduate classes in Pages or performing some other minor tasks like opening programs or printing to PDF or performing software updates, it's not hard for me to und…

I have an affected iMac, too. Often freezing while surfing the net or using Pages. I bought it on October 13. Can I get it replaced or am I too late for that?
