A quick rant about Notes {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 17th 2008 7:51PM I have to hold them to the Newton standard. The data soup had problems, I hear, but someone at Apple must have spent some time thinking about this for the last 10 years! Is there a killer data management app (like omni outliner or onenote) that isn't finished yet, but is displacing the note-sync functionality!.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 17th 2008 11:04AM Could have worked, but just using the force and no duelling! Game design is not for me.
Found footage: The Soup's iPhone parody {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 16th 2008 1:16PM Whatever spark of wit was in the idea was extinguished by the implementation. 1 out of ten = not worth the click.
Mystery Apple box {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 14th 2008 8:29PM That was hilarious. I have not yet adopted the slashdot ethic of never reading the freakin article (RTFA) before posting on blogs, but so many others have.
This is the first me.com site I've been to. I am impressed with the speed and lack of flash. Very smooth.
5th Ave. iPhone Who Farm campers leave store lacking iPhones, dignity {Engadget}
Jul 13th 2008 7:00PM Perhaps
1: Advertisers support sites that generate a large number of page views.
2: Engadget exists because it makes money from advertisers.
3: Engadget will post stories on topics that historically generate many page views.
4. Both haterz and fanbois visit iHype stories, generating page views
5. Both haterz and fanbois post in iHype story comments and then keep coming back to see responses to comments, generating still more page views
Prediction 1: Engadget will be willing to take a hit to its reputation around WWDC, iPhone launch days and MacWorld in order to generate page views
Prediction 2: Haterz will continue to perpetuate this by viewing and posting anyway
iTunes activation servers go down, iPhone 3G customers being sent home unactivated, first-gen iPhone customers stuck with dead iPhones {Engadget}
Jul 11th 2008 3:29PM When there were rumors of an early 2.0 release I was hoping it would be true. Then the whole world would not be pinging at once. Get the 2.5G phones activated during the week, and then ensure that 4G users have an awesome experience.
HP's iPAQ 910 smartphone now available {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 11:37AM @Flooty: good call, the actual device is MUCH better. This angular version makes the screen look tiny for some reason.
Dial-Up Internet Users Still Don't Want Broadband, Study Says {Switched.com}
Jul 3rd 2008 4:10PM My political leanings are against regulation in general, but infrastructure is, in my view something which the community has an interest in and when market forces are failing, the government should provide leadership.
Cell phones and broadband are areas where other countries have implemented higher quality-solutions that end up being cheaper to customers. Once 3G is national, once DSL is everywhere, we're still caught looking backwards.
I think we have a national interest in higher quality information services and that the market forces are not sufficient. My vote is for regulation on this one.
Rolando: A different iPhone game {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 2nd 2008 11:15AM I had a serious obsession with Magic Pen (itself a derivative) http://www.addictinggames.com/magicpen.html until I learned how to finish every level in fewer than 8 shapes which ruined the magic of it for me. This game will ruin me as well.
