This is odd, as it directly contradicts Apple's Lion preview page. From there: "Lion Server is now part of Mac OS X Lion. It’s easy to set up your Mac as a server and take advantage of the many services Lion Server has to offer." "Lion Server gu…

Interesting icon for iCloud. The Lion and iOS 5 are clearly from the login screen and app icons respectively, but the iCloud one looks like a brushed metal iDisk icon, perhaps indicating an app? They definitely look to be integrated somehow. Upd…

We're probably looking at $49 for a boxed copy and $29 for the Mac App Store download.

Not sure how much I'll use it, but a nice upgrade nonetheless. It'll probably function mostly for emergencies for me when I don't have my iPad with me and need to change a few details on a presentation, etc. Adequate syncing is what I'd really like …

For the first time, I'm content to just wait and see what Apple reveals. Most other years there was a laundry list of items for them to add. Today there's only a handful I can find that would be useful to me. Hoping they'll show off something I didn…

It's not an "App Store" in the way that most Apple users think of it: it's only a download site, like CNet. This doesn't in almost any way make any competition to Apple's Mac App store. No app that serves as a central repository, just a webpage No c…

The biggest mystery to me about Windows 8 is it's purported platform-agnosticness without full compatibility support. The whole point of having Windows running on ARM, Tegra, Texas Instruments, etc. (besides bragging rights) is to be able to switch …
