SanDisk CEO says Vista "not optimized" for SSDs {Engadget}
Jul 22nd 2008 9:42AM Vista is optimized for two things, the latest in DRM and case studies in how to change an interface to take more clicks to do less.
Developers talk about iPhone's gaming prowess {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 17th 2008 11:34AM The thing is, I don't see myself playing games that are too involved on my iPhone. I bought Monkey ball, didn't like it, Bandicoot racing, liked it some, Motion-X Poker(with the dice), play the hell out of it. Simple game, I know, but I think these work better for a phone. Maybe it's just my mindset, or the control scheme, or that I'm getting older. Who knows...
Apple prepping iPhone 2.1 software {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 16th 2008 10:15AM I imagine it will be as stable as 1.1.4 around 2.0.2 this time.
iPhone activation working {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 11th 2008 4:57PM Agreed, but I assumed they would have wanted to do it after as not to possibly cut into the sales of the 3G of people who already have the original. They could have even swayed some of those people on the fence about that (those with a bunch of disposeable income) by delaying the 2.0 firmware for the original by about two weeks.
iPhone activation working {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 11th 2008 4:22PM It is logical to assume that 2.0 firmware has been taken offline (or throttled at random) to help the activation servers catch up with the load, and to allow people who just spent money on the 3G to have a chance too.
I am going to wait for all this to calm down.
I would also actually like to see maybe an iTunes 7.7.1 before I update(and maybe a 2.0.1 firmware), or some other patch to ensure my stuff doesn't go belly up when I do the update.
They have really put themselves in one hell of a situation with this, these are the "DO NOTS" they have done today:
1. Released on Friday - I'm sure those Apple IT guys and developers have families, but I would definately request at least a week off after this, thanks for the hard work over this coming weekend BTW.
2. Coupling a new product (3G) with new software for previous iPhone on the same day sharing activation infrastructure. - Should have staggered it, waited until next week for 2.0 for original.
3. Releasing the new required method of communication with the phone (iTunes 7.7) not but a day or two before launch. - This should have been out weeks ago, we could have had a 7.7.1 patch...
4. Throw in 2.1 AppleTV update. You guys are just begging for trouble.
iPhone 101: Eight 3G iPhone Plan Pricing Details You Need to Know {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 1st 2008 4:32PM $15 extra for exchange huh? Oh, and let us not forget that you won't get html e-mail through activesync unless you are running that POS Exchange 2007. (At least thats the way it is on Windows Mobile) Exchange 2003 is the standard, and an excellent product. 2007 is like Vista, 3 clicks turn into 8, organized by a retard... Here's to hoping the next service pack for Exchange 2003 enables HTML over activesync(or that the iPhone will go ahead and render the messages regardless)
Oh, and more for a paltry 200 text messages, each representing a small fraction of a nanosecond in equivalent voice data, in packets that don't have to be there at a specific time?
More for the 3G data? But I can't tether? How much data do they expect that you can be constantly pulling?
I'll stick with my 2G iPhone thanks, with my IMAP Exchange+SMTP relay service(at $15 a year). I want firmware 2.0 for the games...
iPhone 2.0 firmware goes golden master {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 26th 2008 11:37AM What is this "Golden Master" for "shipping" business? It's not like they have to ship a disc, just drag the image to the update servers NOW Apple. I want it like a fat kid wants cake.

CBS Evening News preps HD control room for debut {Engadget HD}
Jun 16th 2008 2:46PM They are really gonna have to plaster on the makeup to doll up Katie enough for HD. Nothing like the jaw-dropping hotness on NBC when Anne Curry steps in for Brian Williams, that woman is a serious milf.
Apple's worst logo ever? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 11th 2008 10:43AM Agreed, if it is indeed Exchange "for the rest of us", the logo should have been an aluminum pole.
The whole thing should have been introduced by Jerry Stiller...
