Can we stop talking about the iPhone now please? It’s been almost a month now and no one can stop talking about this device. Even worse, no one is talking about anything new about the iPhone. While I do enjoy reading Mac rumor sites like AppleInsider.com, MacRumors.com, and others. But now the topic of these [...]

I just spent some time digging through the WWDC schedule and session to see if I could find anything about Java on Leopard. First of all, Java is NOT DEAD on Max OS X and Leopard should ship with some version of Java. And from what WWDC pages read, Apple may actually have a few [...]

As I have pointed out in a previous post, Apple’s commitment to the Java platform appears to be dwindling. Apple has updated their Leopard Preview page to show some of the previously unannounced new features of the OS. What’s suspiciously missing in the features section is any mention of Java 6, or even any mention [...]

Think Secret is now saying that Apple will release an all new “brushed aluminum” iMac next week. They go on to say that Apple “may also take advantage of the timing to replace its 23-inch Cinema Display with a 24-inch model that uses the same panel as the iMac.” If Apple does refresh both lines, [...]

I’m starting to think that I’ll finally get my wish and that Apple will consolidate both the Mac Mini and iMac lines at WWDC and introduce a new system called the Mac. The Mac will be a headless mini-tower, or “cube” that will be the desktop equivalent of the MacBook. I’m basing this prediction partly [...]

So while I write this post on my 17″MacBook Pro on the MBTA while tethered to my Motorola Q, I have wonder why on earth Palm would announce such a foolish device such as the the Foleo (Folio?)? Granted it hasn’t been officially announced yet and I’m only going by what Engadget is reporting, but [...]

With the iPhone launch just days away, it would appear that Microsoft and Palm might be about to reveal how they might counter Apple’s offering. Palm has announced that they will introduce “a new category of mobile device” which sounds like it could be their answer to the iPhone that Verizon was referring to. Then [...]

By now, you’ve probably read plenty about Microsoft’s new Silverlight platform and how it’s going be a major player in the coming year. While I don’t doubt that Silverlight will be significant, I have a very tough time seeing how MS can overcome the installed base that Adobe has with Flash. And I’m not just [...]

I was just reading a post on Fabrizio Giudici’s Blog and it really got me thinking about Apple’s commitment to Java on Mac OS X. As a Java developer who uses a MacBook as the platform of choice, I’m a very concerned about Apple’s recent announcement that Mac OS X 10.5 will be delayed until [...]

I’m a fan of MacRumors.com, but every now and again there’s a new post that make me embarrassed to be a Mac user. Just last year, I had to call out the lameness of “MacBook unpacking photos.” Now, there’s this story of some goof bastard who used his video camera to show everyone the new [...]
