Some claim to have seen this video before, but I never have. Imagine Steve Ballmer, back at the release of Windows 1.0, circa 1985, that’s Windows 1.0!, showing the Microsoft troops how to sell Windows. Warning: no matter how bad you think this is going to be, it’s far worse. Have your finger on the…

Another problem with getting older is that you tend to forget things. Increasingly I find that I have trouble recalling facts that I use to regurgitate at will. Song lyrics are getting fuzzier, and more often I find that I can’t recall that actress in that movie…, you know, that actress who played that girl…

The ‘Afghan Girl’ photo is what any photographer would love to produce. The photo is so full of color and detail, which gives it life. It is the eyes of the Afghan Girl (her real name is Sharbat Gula) that demand your attention. As you might imagine, I’m a fan of photography, and, apparently, so…

 The third generation iPod shuffle retains the diminutive size, distinctive shape, and is fabricated of anodized aluminum with a built-in clip just like its predecessor. The big change this year is the introduction of a less-expensive 2GB model that can hold up to 500 songs for $59. There’s also a 4GB model that holds up…

There had to be a very light colored background in order for me to see these waves, like a white cloud or a bright, clear patch of sky. I remember that it couldn’t be windy either. When the conditions were right, and I never knew when they were right in advance, I would just happen…

Home page shows exact Lat/LonThe app is very easy to use. Basically, it uses location services to identify your location on Earth, and then draws from www.heavens-above.com (with permission) in order to create list of overhead passes during which the ISS will be visible. The author, Simon Vrdoljak, told TMO:Even the charts that I use…

The new fifth generation iPod nano was introduced on 09-09-09; I got my hands on one the very next day and have been using and abusing it ever since. Let me just start this review by telling you that I think it’s the best iPod nano Apple has ever made and arguably the best $149…

Admittedly, I have never used the iTunes Store ringtone feature much, as I prefer to create my own ringtones with other software. And now that you get DRM-free songs from the iTunes Store, the ability to independently create your own ringtones is practically unlimited. Still, as I am updating my iPhone book, I wanted to be…

Aug 31: For those also interested in a nice recap of how Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) will help developers, here’s a good summary article. It’s not that there weren’t APIs for multi-threading before, it’s just that they were awkward to use. GCD overlays those APIs with a higher level set that takes a lot of…

Back in THOSE days a driver really had to pay attention not only to the road conditions immediately around him, he had to anticipate those condition many miles ahead. I recall thinking that if it were 6:40 PM then the bulk of the traffic on US 495’s outer ring will have eased some between Tyson’s…

On the one side, some welcome the FCC investigation and hope that the result is a more open approval process (or even the elimination of required approval altogether): “So long as Apple does this approval process, it deserves every ounce of grief it gets from every corner it comes from.” “I really think Apple should…

If you ready to pack up and head away for school, be sure to check out our guide for traveling with your laptop and protecting your personal data, too. MacBook Pro Apple’s MacBook Pro mixes the power of a desktop computer with the portability of a laptop in a sleek aluminum case. It’s powerful, durable,…

Recently, I wrote about how the iPod has become a smaller and smaller percentage of Apple’s total revenues. That’s because hardware always gets cheaper as volume goes up. That’s why it was wise for Apple to plan a move from the iPod to the iPhone and iPod touch — which is really just an iPhone…

TMO: Tell us how you got into the business of creating novel writing software? Were there precursor apps that you warmed up with? Or is this your first big venture? Steve Shepard, Founder, Storyist Software Shepard: Well, I worked for Apple for awhile in the 1990s, then I did the Silicon Valley thing. I joined a…

Barclays Barclays’ Ben Reitzes was pleased with the number and nature of the products Apple announced, which included a new iPhone, updated MacBook Pros, price drops, more details and a release date for iPhone OS 3.0, and an announcement for Snow Leopard’s release. “While the iPhone announcements were expected,” he wrote in a research note…

It’s not that I expect Bing to be a better search engine than Google, or even that Microsoft has any real shot at making Bing be better than Google — but I think Bing has a shot at being better than Yahoo!, and it’s this sort of competition that will push Google and other competitors…

After years of winning (and losing), a car company learns an awful lot about engines, why and how they fail, and that expertise seeps into their regular product line for consumers — making for better products. I’ve always believed that the same applies to Apple. The analog for computing is the High Performance Computing (HPC)…

The first thing to know is that the domain names we use every day are just human friendly, memorable names for Internet addresses that use the Internet Protocol (IP). For example, we tell our Web browser to got to Filemaker.com because that’s easy to remember. However, the Mac has to convert that to an IP…

Mr. Marshall is also expecting Apple to turn in a “solid” March quarter when the company reports on April 22nd, 2009. He believes the company will beat its own guidance and current Wall Street estimates with revenues of $8.3 billion and $1.20 in earnings per share (EPS). That compares to guidance from Apple of $7.6-$8…
