Apple seems to have missed the memo that there is a recession on:
“The New York Times’ Brad Stone reports that Apple announced boffo earnings for the just-concluded third quarter: Net income was up to $1.67 billion, a 47 percent increase over the comparable quarter last year. The company sold more computers — 3.05 million — [...]

Steve Jobs back on stage

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the center stage for the first time after a liver transplant to announce new products such as an iPod with built-in video camera. The 54-year old CEO (speaking in a soft voice) received a warm welcome from the crowd.
He said, “I’m very happy to be here today, I thank everyone [...]

Face it – Steve Jobs is an asshole

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Steve Jobs has always kept an extremely tight grip over Apple, and the approach certainly has its merits. The results speak for themselves. But at what cost?
The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Steve Jobs is back at Apple and working hard on his latest masterpiece, the Apple Tablet. That’s not very surprising. We [...]

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”

It’s A Mac, Mac, MacWorld (‘09)

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

As I and many others have predicted, this MacWorld will probably be a bit lackluster without the hokey, jokey Steve Jobs (we love ya, ya big dork). But that’s not too say there won’t be a few wow! & wtf?!? moments. Here’s some of the highlights taken directly from the expo’s site:

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Rip ‘Em Off

I am not one for lists. When I go to the market, I buy things at random. When I invite people to an event, I blindly mass text people in my contacts. When I navigate a ship, I only travel in straight lines.
But, the rest of the internet seems to disagree with [...]

big ups to Foster for the tip
Apple just announced that this January’s Macworld expo will be the last of it’s kind. For the past several years, Apple has held the annual conference where many fans, and proprietors, of the tech industry would drop whatever they were doing to see what was in-store for the [...]
