Get A Mac ads jump the shark

These may have been kind of cute or clever in the past, misleading as they were.  But now they’re just plain obnoxious. When I bought my new car last year there was a car salesman at one dealership who only seemed concerned with what other...

The FSF show their true colors (a bright shade of ***)
26 July 08 07:23 PM | Brandon Live!
The so-called “Free Software Foundation,” having vanquished their enemy from Redmond and having nothing better to do, is now launching a Denial of Service campaign against users of Apple’s products. Basically they want their minions...

Snow Leopard = Apple’s XP SP2? It better be.
23 June 08 12:23 AM | Brandon Live!
As I read the initial details about Apple’s “Snow Leopard” release (ostensibly called OS X 10.6), I got to thinking… What do they mean that they’ve taken the focus away from new features? From Apple.com: Taking a break from...

Tech journalism is dead to me
11 April 08 08:38 PM | Brandon Live!
Gary Morgenthaler of Business Week is the latest in a series of tech journalists to really disappoint me.  Why?  Just look at his latest rubbish posted on Business Week’s website today. Consider the following paragraph and tell me that...

More on the Apple Update scandal
22 March 08 11:55 PM | Brandon Live!
Two points I want to make based on the comments my last post is receiving: 1) That post, and its title, are mainly about the outrageous ways in which people are jumping to Apple’s defense… not Apple’s action itself. 2) If your argument...

Apple is the new Borg.
22 March 08 04:34 PM | Brandon Live!
If you haven’t heard, Apple has decided to start forcing Safari down your throat if you use iTunes, Quicktime, or any of their other Windows software. In response, lots of Apple fans have jumped to their defense. They say that users read the dialog...

Macs at Microsoft? Why not!
08 February 08 03:17 AM | Brandon Live!
David Morgenstern over the Apple blog on ZDNet wrote yesterday and said: Like the Japanese car in the Dearborn auto plant parking lot, Macs and iPhones must create problems for switchers working at Apple competitors as well as companies with a PC-or-die...

Told you it was coming - 64-bit iTunes arrives
16 January 08 03:47 AM | Brandon Live!
iTunes 7.6 is out, with x64 support at last! Just as I predicted http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ It redirects you based on your OS. Or download the 32-bit one here and the 64-bit one here. Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl |...

64-bit iTunes on the way?
08 December 07 06:36 PM | Brandon Live!
Judging by this new error message in iTunes 7.5 (which I didn’t even notice had changed the first dozen times I clicked OK to it), it seems like a 64-bit version of iTunes is on the way. Sadly I can’t do as the message says as the 64-bit installer...

iPhone apps in your Start menu!
18 August 07 06:54 PM | Brandon Live!
Today comes the first Start++ update since May. Long overdue, perhaps - but I hope worth the wait :) As I teased earlier, a major new feature available in 0.7 is the ability to turn many iPhone web apps into Start Gadgets. There are more examples on the...

iPhone update impresses.
01 August 07 04:44 PM | Brandon Live!
It might not contain new “features” per se, and Apple certainly didn’t make much hoopla about the release (as far as I know, there’s still no official changelist apart from the security fixes). But I’m incredibly happy with...
