If you’ve held a unibody MacBook and a previous generation , you know the new unibody is a substantial improvement on an already solid frame. Even with that knowledge I’m surprised to see these pictures of a MacBook that survived Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 which crashed outside of Schiphol in February.
Noteworthy is that rather [...]

8GB Memory Kit For 15″ MacBook Pro
I’ve bitched before about Apple’s 15″ MacBook Pro not having the matte screen option and not supporting 8GB RAM despite the 17″ supporting both features. According to Apple Insider there is now an 8GB kit is available for the 15″ (all but the 2.4GHz model). It costs an insane $1,200 while you can [...]
Skype For iPhone
I’ve been a Skype user since 2004 when I first fell in love with the service. I used it a fair amount in college as a way to study for tests and work on programming projects with other classmates without having to sit in a library for hours. It was convenient to each [...]
iPhone OS 3.0
I’m rather thrilled with Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade. They announced way more than I expected them too.
Cut & Paste – Great interface, long long overdue.
Push Notifications – Finally! Push notification will make the iPhone a million times more useful. I’m thrilled by this. Way better than background apps since it [...]
Steve Wozniak On Dancing With The Stars
I couldn’t resist the awkward screen grab.
I knew it would be all over the web a matter of minutes after it aired. If he survives a round or two it will be due to fans not the judges. I think that will be more interesting than the actual dancing. Judges [...]
iPhone OS 3.0 Preview Next Week
Apple has an event scheduled for next week which is presumed to be a preview of iPhone OS 3.0.
Want/Expect:
Copy/paste – Duh
Push Notification – Apple promised this back in the fall and has yet to deliver. I suspect we’ll at least hear something about it. I’m hoping it will still happen, though I wouldn’t [...]
iPhone Apps On Your Desktop
Apple should let users purchase iPhone apps and run them on their desktop similar to Dashboard widgets.
You should be able to purchase through iTunes just like users do already and then be able to run them on your iPhone, iPod touch, or on your desktop. Apple already has the technology to do [...]
iPhone Prototype Hits eBay
There’s are 2 prototype iPhone’s on eBay. Apparently two models from late (49′th and 50′th week) 2006. It looks like the primary change from the two batches was trying a plastic and glass screen. I suspect at this point most of the internals were pretty close to final though they may have [...]
Apple Needs a 15″ Version Of The 17″ MacBook Pro
Dear Apple,
Your MacBook Pro lineup is just downright annoying. Your 17″ model (MB604LL/A) is absolutely awesome with it’s optional matte display which any sane person prefers over its eye torturing glossy cousin. The ability to add up to 8GB RAM is also far superior to the 4GB cap on the 15″ model. [...]
