I’ve been hounded by emails pretty much non-stop ever since TheStreet.com reported on a potential Apple/Electronic Arts deal. Apple doesn’t buy companies like EA. Apple buys small to mid-range companies with large amounts of intellectual property. That IP can be tapped and used to make new chips, add multi-touch to iPhone, and all sorts of [...]

Looks like Apple made a rare goof-up and is requiring 10.5.7 (Juno)… before it even ships. Try to download and install the latest update to X11. You’ll get a weird surprise.

Let’s rewind a few days. Back when we started talking about HD on iPhone. The web site MacRumors posted coverage of our article, but the last paragraph pretty much sent the time into outrage. The last paragraph read: “PhoneNews.com has not been a regular source of Apple rumors and their last try wasn’t accurate.” Immediately [...]

There has been a lot of buzz about HD and iPhone lately. I’m sure you’ve heard something about that by now. But, let’s take a look at history for a second first, just in case the crowds at Moscone West decide revolt if Apple doesn’t announce iPhone HD at WWDC. When the original iPhone came [...]

You may have noticed not as much got done today as I said would happen. After a bunch of crud in the morning, I decided to burn a disc in my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2008). To my chagrin, yet another coaster had been produced. I was keeping a stack of the coasters that this [...]

Scarred and tired, Jack Bauer has been infected by a supervirus and must take on a derelict PMC, hellbent on world domination. Sound familiar? If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid 4, you’ve officially been there and done that. I’ve long talked off-the-blog about 24′s continual ripping off of Metal Gear Solid. People have finally started [...]

Over the past 48 to 72 hours, Apple has issued a lot of updates, for everything from AirPort to RAW support. I just ran Repair Disk Permissions on a couple of Macs that have gotten all those updates beamed down… and there were quite a few permissions glitches. So, be sure to run Repair Disk [...]

For the first time, I’ve found a web browser that makes Web 2.0 apps feel like desktop ones. And, that browser is Safari 4. Safari 4 may lack all those community plugins, a point for which Safari is constantly critisized. But, that’s because people take Safari for granted. That’s right. People take for granted that [...]

I’m going to raise something interesting here, but at first you might think I’m nuts. I think Apple should profile their customers, and give some of them ProCare for free. Take a deep breath, I haven’t lost it. ProCare provides some Apple-centric users powerful tools at the Apple Store. It used to also include One [...]

A few people have emailed me asking for the driver to fix Windows 7 sound on newer-model MacBooks (2008 and onward). Luckily, I already found it and have posted it over on CentralGadget.com… jump over there at the link below. MacBook Having Windows 7 Audio Trouble? We’ve got your driver fix… – CentralGadget.com
