Delicious Library is good in the US with its Amazon integration, however outside the US this is less useful and it shortcomings of only having 9 types of librarys as well as the more serious of no iPhone App made it a no go for me. Having a databa…

Was this not supposed to be about Bento, not FM? As I have bought books and music for 30+ years, I am not allways sure if I have something or just heard about that book or CD. To that end I have used Bento with the input made on mac and the mobile…

I hope those brilliant people at IDC put their retirement funds in Nokia and other Phone 7.... Anyone knows how much time Zune would need to overtake that iPod thing, according to IDC "http://www.marketresearch.com/IDC-v2477/Zune-HD-Right-Time-2…

The thing is that while PCs will remain for a long time, smart phones, iPads (and soon smart TVs) will reduce the importance of PCs. To gain market share in smart phones or iPads MS have to make better implementations than Apple and Android. Just a …

OK, so what if the W7phone is as good as a similarly priced Android or iOS phone. To sell it has to be prefered for some reason. To get something like all the apps and music in iTunes is to trival thing and then they still only have parity. MS wi…

I thought that a return of SJ was as likely as Duke Nukem forever going GM I am happy to be wrong on both acccounts, and most happy for the former

There is a huge difference between making something that has not been sold for a while obsolete and something that is sold obsolete over night My dual G5 is obsolete as it does not work with 10.6 Office 2011, Firefox 4 but so what 10.6. But is wa…

...just like Zune took over the mp3 player market

The oldfashion TV is dying there is no reason for Apple to enter a sinking ship. Shure there is room for a large screen in the living room for seeing news, sport and all the rest. But to a schedule set by the end user not by a TV company. The cur…

back in the 90s having a IIfx, or PM 7500 acually meant that scrolling in Word and editing a small image was way faster than in a office compiter and way way faster than a portable computer. Now portable computers is more than fast enough for suc…

It is a shotgun wedding between two have beens. Nokia have been dominating the market like Motorolad did before them. Microsoft have dominated " IT-mindshare" like IBM before. But now we have Apple and Google as the big guys, In a way it makes sens…

I would like the optical drive to go out and having a SSD for OS and apps and a HD for files, The HD on old MacMini dual 1.66 with 2 GB RAM was giving in and I replaced it with a SSD, expecting it to be faster. I was blow away by how much faster it…

I do hope SJ gets well regardless if he stays with Apple or not. But even s SJ less Apple is in good shape. My guess is that Apple totaly dominate the >1000 USD market for computers ( were the profit margins are nice) Apple then did quite w…

My dream would to replace my second hand dual G5 with a Xmac. If I have to settle for a EOL CPU like the C2, slower and smaller HDs and only decent GPU and no uppgrade options I might as well shell out some more and buy a 13" Probook instead of a mi…

For becoming really rellevant Mac gaming has to keep price level with the Win versions. At least for COD and MOH the mac versions kept the full price well after the Win versions were bundled and sold for a fraction of the original cost. But if I…

optical drives are going the same way as ZIPdrives. At work were we have sitelicenes for many programs I install them from a USB stick not bothering with burning CDs and DVDs. At home I do listen to both CDs and LPs but as far as computers go I …

22 of October is getting closer and closer, could Apple be so mean as to release new hardware the very same day as that other Steve "Monkey Boy" is having a release party for some OS?

The beige G3 was jsut the previous generation with G3 grafted to them. In a similar way the first PPC 6100-8100 were quadras with 601 PPC CPUs but still nubus cards and so on. The second generation of 601 & 604 had both modern PCI card and be…

I do not agree with the notion that the G3 towers were consumer design hopped up to pro. Back in 1999 350 MHz was faster than the pentium II it was competing with. The B&W had a state of the art 100 MHz bus as well as a top of the line ATI 128 …
