Well, I hope Apple takes its time with 10.5.3 and really bangs out the bugs with Leopard. Leopard, while better by miles than Vista, was still pretty disgraceful for a company like Apple. In short, Leopard was the buggiest release of OS X since 1…

I am glad Microsoft is considering iPhone apps. TellMe is a great idea, as is a light Office. Personally, I have moved to iWork, except for Excel. I suspect with a serious upgrade to Numbers, I will not use Office at all. But I still think Off…

While I suffer through the bugs of Leopard like everyone else, I for one say let Apple take their time so 10.5.2 is the Leopard we should have received in the first place. I don't care if the download is 600mb. I don't care if it takes a few more…

76 bugs fixes? For Leopard? At this rate, it'll be 10.5.8 before Leopard is release quality. I hope that at an absolute minimum the network and mail hanging problems are fixed. After those two, I hope that Apple is listing 76 bug fixes, but…

I have been an iCal hater since I switched back to the Mac at 10.2 I have written long emails to Apple with pages of basic, baseline functionality that was missing in iCal. 10.3 iCal = utter disappointment 10.4 iCal = utter disappointment …

I guess I disagree with Macnoid and others. Sure, the templates seem stupid for all except kids and grandparents. But this is probably a smart move by Apple. For salty business guys like me, the other changes are welcome, and in some cases fal…

I've been saying this for the past two years, and it looks like the mainstream blogosphere is finally catching on: Apple's manufacturing and software quality is fck'ng terrible. We tend to look at these things as one-off events. (Remember the …

A little bird told me that "important" folks have been angry about the Intuit lack of support over the years, but given the Board relationships, things have been muted. This has changed. Why? 1. The big guy hates being held hostage by third…

Best. Rumor. Ever.

I've been a 17" guy since 2003, but I wonder if the ultra portables will swing me the other way. Every now and then I have the thought of going to the other extreme and go for portability, but I never seem to make the jump. I can see making a …

So, basically this means for the 5 Season Passes I would have bought this week, I am now going to have to get the shows for free? In better quality? With no DRM? Sorry NBC, I have and was willing to pay for the convienence when I don't need…

Is it me, or is this the first multi-page, indepth review on AppleInsider? Is this a new content model? Rumor mill running dry? An advertising deal done with Roxio? I wouldn't be surprised if both were true. Apple has gotten very, very good a…

I bought a copy of Vista. In China. For 3 bucks. Was it worth it? Nope. (Seriously) I am sure people will brand me a apple-fan-boy, but had I paid real money for Vista, I would have been furious. It's actually very sad to see Microso…
