Nov 11th 2009 5:55PM Just thought I'd let you know, you're getting downranked even by satisfied iPhone users. Peace.

Nov 11th 2009 5:53PM The symbols cut out of the metal plate in the bottom left are secret machine-language instructions on how and when to "awaken" when the time comes for the Droid Uprising to begin.
Adobe layoffs strike home, 680 to lose jobs {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 11th 2009 2:47AM [insert sigh here]
I never even used Twitter after the first couple tries. Has the backlash against it made people unable to spot sarcasm in incidentally Twitter-sized sentences?
If anybody was going to get the axe at Adobe, it'd be the people they appreciate/want/use/etc. the least. The joke was that, because that group is surely comprised almost entirely of their Mac software developers, they must've managed to find 680 of them to let go before even considering anyone else. There, ya good?

Nov 10th 2009 11:35PM Wow. I didn't even know they HAD 680 Mac developers.
OpenOffice distances itself from OpenOfficeMouse, joins everyone else {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 8:07PM Forget "OOMouse", this should be called the "I'm Compensating For My Mac" Mouse.
Art Lebedev's Rozetkus 3D socket concept gives you five plugs where once there was one {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 7:56PM Yeah, I was just going to say...my first reaction is "DO WANT", but then I realize I live in a 125-year-old house with an ancient electrical system that has more 2-prong outlets than 3-prong. I ain't plugging five of anything into a socket around here, even a really cool socket.
HP Create Amazing ad tilt-shifts our hearts {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 7:43PM I just wish they hadn't put the voiceover in there at the end. It kinda jerks you back out of the nice fuzzy warm feeling they just spent the last 3 minutes and 10 seconds building up around you. You're already looking at the ad — that's the whole hook — so they could've let the text carry it at the end.
NVIDIA CEO shoots down talk of Intel-compatible x86 chip, says his home is 'all Apple' {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 7:10PM @Steveorevo: OTEE released a Windows version of the Unity development environment a while back. While there are still many Mac developers using it, it's not the exclusive you seem to be implying it is — at least not anymore. Besides, judging from their "Showcase" forum, most active Unity game development is for the iPhone, not desktop platforms. As much as I use and like OS X myself, I have no problem admitting that there is no such thing as Mac gaming (unless you count casual games like Bejeweled and the occasional bit of underperforming Ciderized spilloff from Windows games). Apple missed out on that market, largely by choice. If you want games, you keep a Windows partition around to boot into when you've got the itch (or you just get a console). It comes with the territory.
OpenOfficeMouse isn't free, isn't pretty {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 7:12PM I think the fact that OpenOffice.org is available for Mac is the single most ironic thing about this mouse.
NVIDIA takes its feud with Intel to cartoonish new levels {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 8:39PM That's a complete, fleshed-out concept for a Japanese anime if ever I saw one.
