It’s just been announced minutes ago. Apple is no longer Apple Computer, Inc. but Apple, Inc. I had a bad feeling about this. When a whole MacWorld goes by and you see no mention of a Mac, things looked that way. In fact I was composing a post in my head with the title “Wasn’t […]

The yearly feast for the Mac fanatics, MacWorld San Francisco is around the corner. On January 9th we will know which of the wild rumours are true. I don’t want an Apple phone, I couldn’t care less about the iTV, true video iPods don’t interest me and neither do cinema displays with built-in webcams. I’m […]

Word is out that the Mac guy, Justin Long will no longer be doing commercials for the Apple “get a mac” series. The PC guy though, will still be around. Perfect time for a new PC ad: Mac: Hello, I’m a Mac. PC: And I’m a PC. Say, you’re the second Mac aren’t you? Mac: […]

Apple has been flaunting the advantages of Mac over Windows for quite a while now, be it using the “get a mac” ad campaign or via their cheeky (if not totally irresponsible) comments that Windows security is partly to blame for the virus that shipped with a few fifth generation iPods. Not to mention their […]
Last Friday, after exactly 5 weeks, I finally got my new Powerbook battery. I guess Apple gets their estimates right – they’d said it would take 4 – 6 weeks! An interesting observation – during the five weeks of torture, I so wanted to buy a new laptop. I was nearly at the edge of […]

So, I decided to install Linux on my Powerbook G4 12″. Why? (Feel free to skip to the real install notes while I rant!) Recently, I’ve become slightly bored, slightly bugged with OS X. Nothing much wrong with OS X, just that I tend to do most of my work on Linux, and switching context […]

Today, you’ve thrilled the world. You’ve added battery life, capacity, movies and games to the iPod. So the teeming fans can waste their time in ever-more productive ways. You’ve made the iPod nano go pink, and anyone with the remotest inkling of taste go pale. The girls will sigh, and the boys will cry. You’ve […]

Apple has announced upgrades to iMacs and Mac minis. There’s now a 24″ iMac which is just awesome. Something that not many people have noticed – the iMacs have NVidia cards now, unlike the previous generation of Intel iMacs which had ATI cards. I wonder if this is the result of the AMD/ATI merger. Any […]

So as we all know, Apple followed Dell in recalling a large number of batteries. Although the number of batteries recalled by Apple is smaller (1.8 million against Dell’s 4+ million), in terms of market share thats a huge number for Apple and virtually every Powerbook 12″ user I know (myself included) is affected. Now […]

As promised, Apple introduced their next operating system, Mac OS X Leopard at the WWDC Keynote today. What I think of it should be evident if you bothered to read the title of this post. But first, lets start with the stuff I *did* like. Yeah, I’m talking about the digs at Microsoft: “Redmond has […]
