NIST says "No" to Vista

Mar 13th 2007 5:59PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Ed:

Don't be silly. The only Vista news you can get from TUAW is the bad stuff. Of course they'll never write about the good stuff.

Ned:

They get paid per post? I agree; that's bulls**t.

Just What is Wired Memory Anyway?

Mar 6th 2007 10:37PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

"[Wired memory is] used by the OS [which] is pretty much untouchable. Another application can't 'borrow' wired memory"

This isn't quite right. Wired memory is memory that can't be paged out to the disk, it has to stay in the RAM. This makes it untouchable in a way, but not in the "another application can't 'borrow' it" way.

I will personally smack anyone who says anything along the lines of "My Mac's had that for years."

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard build 9A321: updated feature list reveals some new goodies

Dec 30th 2006 9:53AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

"ZFS.
Can't boot from it. Not standard. Don't care."

Compare:
"iPod:
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."

Re 01:
My bet is that Expose (and Spotlight; look over the WWDC06 keynote) will have their own icons (like Dashboard) so you can access some sort of interface for them, but they won't be separate apps.

Poll: iPhone at Macworld?

This poll needs another option: ENOUGH WITH THE IPHONE ALREADY!!!!

Twenty Ninth Street Store Grand Opening

Oct 12th 2006 5:50PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

@philip: True. For all curious, that should be I-76. And 30th street by no means ends at Arapahoe.

CE-Oh no he didn't! Part XIII - Kutaragi sez Sony doesn't care about PS3 rivals

This (and several other things) make me wonder is Sony has something up their sleeves. Somehow I don't think all the cards are down yet.

Just a thought.

7 apps that Leopard kills

You should also remember all those webcam and similar widgets. Not quite "applications", but same general idea.

Charles Wiltgen responds to Cory Doctorow's 'DRM is bad for business'

Aug 6th 2006 9:24AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

"There are only three things in life that are certain: death, taxes, and DRM."

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
