Watched some of the live stream from Engadget on the iPad announcement today. It was, as expected, a tablet shaped like a big iPod. It comes with wireless and it can hook up to a 3G network if you buy the big one. Notably, for me, were the things it didn’t do:
No camera (!)
Poor battery [...]
I said I wasn’t going to let this happen to me again, but dad-gum-it, I just couldn’t stay away. I like this mouse too much to leave it at the bottom of a bin. So when I upgraded to Snow Leopard this week, I figured there’d be problems. This was a surprise though.
The setting to [...]
I noticed something odd when thumbing through my calendar the other day on my iPhone. I noticed I had doubles of every entry in my calendar. I figured it was a sync issue so plugged it into my machine and noticed that I was syncing to the computer as well as to MobileMe. I figured [...]
I managed to fix the wake-from-sleep problem that I originally suffered from on my MacPro. A reboot (or two) seemed to fix it and it sleeps without waking up now. I am still seeing some pretty weird issues with other areas though, particularly the Finder. Mapping drives through Finder seems prone to issues, often taking [...]

The recommended fixes range from resetting the SMC on MacBook Pros to [...]
I’ve noticed that my Mac Pro has gotten progressively noisier over the past year or so. I thought it was due to firmware updates bundled along with OS X 10.5 version bumps. I’ve been through a similar experience with my PowerMac Dual G5 which had wildly-different fan characteristics with odd versions of Tiger.
Finally, I broke [...]
Since Woz spouted off about the death of the iPod in an interview yesterday, some pundits are all a-twitter about what this means for the world’s favorite media player. While I can’t argue with the fact that the devices have become commoditized to within an inch of being useless (the change from Wolfson Audio to [...]
The recent fiasco about Apple limiting an application on iTunes’ AppStore is well-documented. A great comment from the Twittersphere even hints at the kind of dark times this may be the harbinger of.
I’ve babbled about how DRM is bad for consumers and bad for the world before. I think it’s important to keep in mind [...]
