Apple aims to green data centers with latest hire

August 13, 2009

There’s more to building a server farm than filling aircraft hanger sized buildings with racks and pushing out iTunes music, television and movie downloads by the billions. Further, if you’re looking for a manager with green back office voodoo, the short list is gonna be pretty short.

Apple to publish new music-centric social app?

August 12, 2009

Apple to publish new music-centric social app?Most Apple rumors concern hardware. Now, however, there is a rumor that Apple is working to create a  social networking application centered around music sharing and having the ability to connect multiple Web sites.

Mac security: MacCinema is the same steaming pile [different day]

August 12, 2009

Don’t let the nattering nabobs of negativity and cataclysmic doom convince you otherwise — there’s nothing new in the world of Mac malware. That said, there are places out there on the Internet (i.e. porn sites) that will tell you to install software that really isn’t software.

Rumor: iTunes 9 screen caps show Last.fm, ‘social’ buttons

August 11, 2009

Thankfully, there’s no sign of “ooh, Blu-ray” in any of these images supposedly of Apple’s next generation media jukebox, management, storefront, device manager and Julienne potato slicer (why the hell not, everything else is in there). Then again, odd angle photos of a computer monitor must be one heckuva of lot easier to fake than actual screen captures.

Non-glare 15” MacBook Pros are back

August 11, 2009

Non-glare 15” MacBook Pros are backIn an admission that it may have been hasty in withdrawing matte, non-glare options from its line of laptops, Apple has reinstated that option to glossy screens at a price of $50.

Finally, browser performance is better on the Mac

August 10, 2009

Everybody that makes a browser claims theirs is the fastest, but which of any of them is telling the truth? When it comes to speed is Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Internet Explorer truly tops or is there realy no effective way to measure this ill defined concept?

Why should we suddenly hate Apple?

August 10, 2009

Why should we suddenly hate Apple?There seems to be a new trend forming, perhaps led by Jason Calacanis, in which it is very cool indeed to actively hate Apple, the iPhone, Mac computers, iPods, and Steve Jobs.

Rumor: Blu-ray coming in September in iTunes 9

August 9, 2009

Adding yet another feature to Apple’s already absurdly bloated media jukebox, management, storefront and device manager application doesn’t strike me as reasonable, let alone a slam dunk. With Snow Leopard and QuickTime X arriving next month, why wouldn’t the mothership just add Blu-ray support to its simply reliable DVD Player or QuickTime Player?

Video: Ice-T destroys a dead PowerBook with a hammer

August 8, 2009

Over the course of a weekend I watched every episode of Law and Order: SVU and as TV actors go, Ice-T’s quite OK. Yes, he’s always himself and that’s pretty much what you’re going to see and hear, a little cursing, in this clip.

Apple tablet timing foretells function

August 7, 2009

Apple tablet timing foretells functionThe Apple tablet rumors continue, and can be seen dividing into two competing camps: an iPod Touch on steroids late this year or a highly talented and very small computer early next year.
