Mac OS X 10.5.7: So New, We’re Requiring It Before Its Release
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.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Monday Morning Quarterbacking
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 […]
Don’t Forget History: Original iPhone & TV Out
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 […]
Yesterday’s Derailment Brought to You By: Apple SuperDrive
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 […]
UPS, FedEx: Signature Required Means Signature Required
Twice this week I’ve had packages left at my doorstep (while I was at CTIA). Both required my explicit signature to be delivered anywhere. One was confidential software, from a company. Let’s call them Mapple. The other was expensive electronics, from a company. Let’s call them BRIM/BlueBerry. My point to this is not to brag […]
Out Sick
Between a depressingly slow GDC and an outrageously depressing CTIA… I caught something. Hopefully it’s a 72 hour bug. But it was icing on the crud cake that made the 10-day expo week I’ve been on. I’d like to hand off uploading CTIA photos to someone else, but the whole team is busy… and apparently […]
Liveblog of a Product Announcement
I’ve decided to try something new. We’re going to post a liveblog of all the stuff going on behind-the-scenes when announcing a new product. The catch is, we’re not actually going to talk about the product. Stay tuned at 10 AM for that. So, if you think this is all easy… take a seat. Members […]
Once Again, 24 Rips Off Metal Gear Solid (Spoiler Alert)
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 […]
About that New Mobile App…
As you may have read already on MechaWorks and on PhoneNews.com… MechaWorks will be launching its first mobile app on Thursday. I will drop one more tidbit. As I alluded to on PhoneNews.com, it isn’t what you are thinking. We are not launching PhoneNews.com for iPhone. I know we announced that in the past, and […]
Two Warnings on ISPs About OnLive
It’s pretty rare that I council ISPs on how to do their jobs. Okay, fine, I do that about every five minutes on this blog. But, here I’m going to focus on one topic that has popped up recently; OnLive. As you may know, OnLive promises lag free gaming from your web browser. I’m not […]
