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…

Geez! I don’t know about you, but I need a vacation already. Luckily there are a few extended holidays coming up that are ideal for a road trip, and I’m a big fan of road trips. I really enjoy packing everyone into the car then taking off for points known or unknown. Of course, nowadays…

iPhone ad parodies are fun, and this one is funner than most. How to use an iPhone to manage your love life. There’s an app for that! Jason O’Grady did some work with Rosetta in Snow Leopard and found that the penalty for installing it is, well, zero. It’s only 2 MB and doesn’t load…

Apple’s senior executives like to believe that there is no value in reading the Mac and iPhone related Websites, and they tell their staff that. After all, Apple employees are too busy to dabble in rumors and speculation. So it’s just a time waster. Or is it? I was in an Apple retail store recently,…

The very first thing I ever had published on the Internet was in late 1997. It was called “Always Apple” and spoke to the dire straights Apple was in and tried to express how the community of Apple followers felt. It was later republished at 32-bits Online (long since gone). Here is an excerpt. Where…

According to Mr. Kahney, orin0co offered him a screen shot from Mr. Jobs’s purchase history, a screen shot that doesn’t exactly do much to support the notion that he has purchased approximately five items per day, every day, for ten years.
