Tinkering with iTunes, Again :(

19Oct09

Gosh, iTunes annoys and confuses me. As of today, I have the feeling that it’s doing the same thing to itself. iTunes is reporting that to fully sync with my iTouch it will have to erase the data on the iTouch because it was synced with another library. First of all, I don’t remember syncing [...]

“Mac or PC” – Oh Really?

19Oct09

I get asked this question by so many people that I’m tired of having to repeat myself all the time. It’s commonly phrased something like, “What’s the difference between Mac and PC?” or “How do you compare the two operating systems?” Well, the answer is quite simple. You can’t.

Come on, already

22Aug09

Look, Apple, you’ve gone too far (why else are many of my blog posts about you?). And the FCC is there to kick your face in. Just accept the Google Voice app already. You know you’re going to be forced to anyway, so why not save yourself the trouble? And please, learn your lesson from [...]

The anti-trust community is all over Google, these days, says an article in the August 2009 issue of Wired Magazine. Fred Vogelstein tells readers that the search giant is the new Microsoft – remember that huge antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft for packaging their browser with Windows?

Apple: No More Tethering on AT&T, No More Pre Syncing

15Jul09

Apple recently released new versions of the iPhone and iTunes SDK. The main purpose of these updates is not to add or improve new features, but to remove some major holes in their software. Another beta of the iPhone 3.1 SDK was part of the released items, and it held more disappointment for users than [...]
