Cookbook? ... over Hijack??
And that results is after filtering out fake votes???

The only thing cookbook would give me would be a place to copy and paste recipies from online (which I use VoodooPad for right now) and built in timers.

Hijack would actually save me time, and be incredibly useful to me.

...cookbook?

wow I just don't get it.

sorry for the rant, I just really was hoping Hijack would come-out.

Top notch tech? what are you talking about? Every time I've dealt with them was horrible. Same with all my friends. They've had their warranties voided for no reason, the 'geeks' tell them they're stupid and wrong. Great customer care.

I use Qumana as my blogging client. Because its cross-platform and free. Considering most blogs have a nice built in web accessible editor the small added convience of a blogging client doesn't (imo) warrant actually paying $18 (or $36 for licenses for both windows and mac) for ecto. Neat little clutter er feature though.

Maybe the artists just want their users to have a real choice in formats and not to be near irrevocably linked with an iPod. The 2 reasons that keep me from ever using iTunes.

apple has screwed up others and mine service plenty of times. maybe if the things they made didn't break so regularly (looking at you iPod) people wouldn't have to return them (I know someone who returned an iPod 3 times in 2 weeks, oh well so much for that custom engraving rip off) I love my iBook I really do. Its just...apple care couldn't RMA themselves out of a paper bag...yeah that works I think.

from the website: "Users who have donated for the original Textpander on or before May 23, 2006 are eligible for a free TextExpander license." thats nice at least. I wonder what the legality issues are in still using textpander now that its been sold and rebranded as TextExpander. If it wasn't open source is it still legal for all the places still mirroring it to continue offering it?

these ads are just like the "Vista 2.0" stuff Apple was putting out. Just sort of fanning the fires. I find them funny but when is someone gonna release an ad.

M: "Hi I'm a Mac"
P: "Hi I'm a PC"
M: "Oh, what are you doing there PC"
P: "I'm playing the latest video games"
M: "Cool"
P: "yeah, even more so since I got a better video card in here even though I was bought a year ago"
M: "Oh...you can be upgraded easily?"
M: "Well I can play games too"
M: "Just let me reboot into your OS....one sec....there I go...oh I need a better video card :-("

From an artistic point this campaign is well done. But I hate their message, and these are of the same ilk that people complain about ads attacking iPod users *coug* idont.com *cough* rather than the system itself in a reasonable way.

I seriously think you're deluding yourself if you think the iCal server can compete with Exchange. At the same time I'd love to give the benefit of the doubt to Apple and think taking over the small business market is definatly something they could ready to do. Leaving Exchange and such only for the 'big-boy' companies. Hopefully it will allow truly cross-platform group access, then it would really useful. Of course plenty of companies have sprung up to fill in the place of exchange in small businesses. So they could be in for a bit of a fight.

I use QS and everyone I've showed it too after they've used it for a day or so can't go back to not using it. I'd love to see this integrated rather than have spotlight. I've removed it from the menubar. I do still use it for searching however as QS loves to suck up resources if your catalog is large (having the developer documentation plugin for example).

Lets see, what we got? bloat, bloat oh and more bloat. A lot of attempts at catch-up to 3rd party apps (Quicksilver, Adium, etc.) but doesn't seem like anything quite there. Mail.app's 'new' features are just sad.

What I wanted? Quicktime to no longer be gimped? Pherhaps better system wide integration between mail, calendar, and address book? A more stable system, one that can actually handle USB hard drives and network shares without having to be fiddled with constantly. Integration of a system like Parallels.

For the big talk of Vista 2 they've seriously dropped the ball. Unless a lot more things get announced I don't see how they can justify people spending money on this stuff.

Poor showing Apple, Poor showing.
