I noticed that the Cult of Mac converted another member this weekend. Floyd bought an iMac. He’d been pondering the jump for a while, and now, his love for Mac has leeched over into his work.
Full disclosure here, I’m a convert too. So is Dan. So are Paul, Rich and I assume Anthony, too. He [...]
With the memory of OpenWorld fading, I wanted to riff on one thing I noticed and found interesting last week.
Stickers, or rather the lack of them.
Rich and and I whipped up a last-minute plan to produce some stickers right before OpenWorld, and many of you were the beneficiaries last week. I added the AppsLab sticker [...]
The theme for today is file sharing apps that just work.
While browsing The Silicon Florist in my feeds today, I saw a post from Rick about Air Sharing, an iPhone app built by Avatron Software a company based in Vancouver (WA not BC).
As of yesterday, Air Sharing had 700,000 odd downloads in about a week, [...]
Rich pointed me at this nugget yesterday.
Dropbox is a small utility that solves a major pain point you’re familiar with if you have more than one computer or you’ve ever needed to transfer files between computers.
At least once a week, I have to transfer files between my machines; this is an old problem we [...]
I was all ready to crank out a heavy work post when this item in my Reader caught my eye.
Should You Pay Twice as Much for a Mac?
I love this type of title because it captures attention by being potentially controversial, and of course, it references Apple. Good tech news writing always drives traffic through [...]
Comments have been awfully quiet lately. I’m guilty of talking too much about work-related stuff and not enough about iPhones and Twitter.
My bad. Let’s remedy that.
Rich asked me recently how my move to Ubuntu was going. It’s been almost a month, and he says he has a vested interest in keeping me happy with it. [...]
It’s ironic to me that D-Day for good old Windows XP is coming up on Monday, since for several months, I’ve been trying to motivate myself to dump it in favor of Ubuntu as the O/S on my work laptop.
Tracking Dan’s recent jump into the Mac pond chronicled over Twitter and in his blog has [...]
As I teased yesterday, I’ve been mucking around with virtual machines to extend my ability to test Mix. Due to the varied nature of our users’ environments, I need to find ways to install more browsers, more versions on more operating systems.
Everyone knows reproducing an issue is really the best way to begin fixing it. [...]
I haven’t done post on the most popular ideas on Mix since November. Back then, they were:
1. We need the Oracle clients (OCI, JDBC) for the Apple Intel OSX platform
2. Compile Oracle XE for Intel OS X
Well, guess what? Since November, the same two ideas have stayed at 1 and 2. If you’re interested, rounding [...]
