In the after hours-session, the stock was trading at US$24.08, down $5.46 (-18.48%). In the chart below, you can see that the stock traded in a narrow band throughout the day, and then dove off a cliff in the after hours session. After hours trading historically represents a more exaggerated reaction to both good news…

It’s always interesting to see the current browser share statistics. The second chart is of the most interest to me: there are two declining browsers and two advancing browsers. Here’s the ars technical summary for July, 2011. Personally, I was not happy with Chrome’s installer leaving unwanted remnants when I tested it awhile back, and…

As this is the last article in this series it seems only fitting that it be about an application that’s patterned after the device that started it all, the iPod. Back when it began, the iPod was a plastic and metal box about the size of a deck of playing cards, and back then it…

I am an adequate musician for many tasks, a barely competent recording engineer (that’s probably being generous), and when it comes to producing and mixing, I know just enough to be a significant danger to myself and those who love me. But I love music — I love playing, I love writing, and I love…

Here’s a chart from Business Insider that lists the reasons why some people still haven’t joined Facebook. “…they think it’s a waste of time. And they think that increasingly, as they see their friends sucked into a vortex of looking at photos, playing FarmVille, and posting status updates.” In Colorado recently a mother allowed her…

The Best Products we Reviewed  These products exhibit superior design and implementation. They are brilliant in concept and execution and are a joy to own. If there are any “cons,” they are too minor to be of concern. The products received a perfect 10, “Outstanding.” X-Band for iPad by TKO Solutions. This is a great…

On the Internet, the immediate reaction to this momentous announcement was: *yawn* — followed by an avalanche of snarky and derisive comments. The gist of most of the comments was that Apple’s announcement was too little, too late.  Typical remarks (with the snarkiness removed) ranged from “This is fine…but too much hype, hardly worthy of taking…

The practice of looping by performing musicians has been around for quite awhile. (Check out Andrew Bird, for example.) But recent technology has made it considerably easier for non-professionals and Mancing Dolecules puts the power of looping right in the palm of your hand with its Everyday Looper iPhone app. “Looping” is the act of…

Update – June 3rd, 2013: I wrote this article, originally, in 2010, so it's just a tad out of date. The keynote this year is on June 10, so ignore the date below.  Steve Jobs is gone. Some of the minor details may have changed. But for anyone who's attending WWDC for the first time,…

However, I was contacted by one of the exhibitors, Digital Playground. They were interested in having me do a few interviews with their “talent.” To make it more convenient for me to do so, they offered to get me a press press to AEE. I told them that my journalistic interests ran more towards computers…

In the 1990s, the heyday of Macintosh e-mail programs, Eudora shone with a strong light. (As did Claris Em@iler.) But as time passed, events conspired to force Eudora to end of life. Today, MailForge, from Infinity Data Systems, continues the spirit and tradition of Eudora as a ground up rewrite. Those who were bumped off…

Audio in HDTV systems can be even more tricky and confusing than video. As Mac (and PC) users, we’re fairly familiar with video, but simple stereo audio is usually relegated to a pair of analog desktop speakers or headphones. However, when you move up to an HDTV system, you’ll be faced with new terminology, perhaps…

So the lesson here is that when you take your prototype in and demo it to the big boys, better have lots of lawyers, an iron clad NDA, a pending patent, and maybe even a video of the session. So much for any illusions about Barnes & Noble innovating against Apple. European regulators are not…

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…

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…

“Microsoft should abandon Zune and follow Apple’s strategy to try to make its presence felt in the high-growth smartphone sector,” commented Tradition Capital Management vice president George Kurian, according to MarketWatch.Overall interest in the device doesn’t seem to be very high, either. “The market reception for Zune is so disappointing that many retailers have even…

In the press release he sent out to commemorate the event, he noted that in 1999, 70 percent of users played games over dial-up modems connected to computers equipped with 128MB of RAM and 8GB of hard drive space. Age of Empires II was, and continues to be, the most consistently-played game. In addition, he…
