If Mac.Blorge readers are to be believed, then CyberDuck is the cat’s meow, creme de la creme of free FTP clients. At first blush, it doesn’t seem terribly sexy, but digging around yields some pleasant surprises.
The rumor mill has been put into high gear this morning by a discovery of some code in the latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta release indicating that voice recognition may be a part of the new operating system.
The world has been convinced for months that Cupertino needs to offer an ultra portable notebook computer in order to compete as the economic recession supposedly makes price buyers’ top concern. While it is true that netbook sales have propped up some PC makers unit volume numbers recently, it now seems that this trend was a only a fad after all.
New Apple ads, featuring the cool Mac user and the slightly underhanded and uptight PC user, have been missing for several months but now they are back, staying right on message.
According to one research company, in the world quality and service, only one computer maker managed to earn a “B” and everyone else getting, at best, just passing grades. Thereupon, to everyone who had to the foresight and bought one of Apple’s pricey computers we say, “Congratulations, it’s NOT a PC.”
Even in its default configuration, Apple’s OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard) is as beautiful as it is easy to use. That doesn’t mean, however, that Cupertino’s operating system opus can’t be tuned and trued to be just like you want it. Now, when it comes to dock, you can do it without without cracking your system folder or using the command line.
It seems almost like perpetual motion or levitation when a company’s sales are down but its stock price rises, yet that is exactly the trick that Apple seems to have pulled off after the first quarter of 2009.
It’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever be as buggered as PC users—Conficker has infected more than 12 million computers alone—but for once the heathen fan boys actually have something on us. It turns out that a recently discovered trojan carries a more potent payload than originally believed.
The investment banking firm Piper Jaffray performed a survey of 25 Apple retail stores last week and concluded that second quarter sales for Apple might not be so bad after all.
Ah, Spring is in the air. Aside from the calendar how can we tell? Well, the analysts are out in full force speculating and gesticulating authoritatively about how well, or not so well, the big players in the computer business did in the first quarter of 2009.
