I didn't think I had a chance in hell, but I just found out that I was granted a scholarship ($1500 value) to go to WWDC (I'm a student developer). Anybody else planning on making the trip this year?

Adobe has been known to pull software from the Mac at it's whim. Take Premiere as an example. Not only did it pull Premiere from the Mac platform, the last version was actually crippled (to aid their Windows Preferred campaign). And Adobe is already complaining about making Photoshop and the...

Adobe has a lot invested in the code base of Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign on Macs. The best reason I can give that Adobe won't cease development of CS3 for the Mac and suggest that Mac users run the Windows version is this: a huge portion of the Mac base is still on PPC and can't run the...

What does this mean for Mac users??? Well, it means you can have an easier time convincing your boss that buying a Mac for work isn't a bad investment. It means that switchers can "switch back" on their new Apple hardware if the need arises. It means I can carry around one computer for...

So Fryke, how long are you holding out until you get yours? I'm holding off until Sept. My PB G4 17" 1.5ghz will be just over two years old at that point, and I'll be graduating, so it'll make a nice graduation present to myself. Plus, I have to use my Student Developer Hardware discount...

The Keynote is Tuesday at 9:00AM PST

Don't forget Final Cut Express. It has been updated at MWSF in Jan for the last two years.

I would love to see black iBooks. The black iPods are outselling the white ones, so maybe Apple will take notice and release a black iBook as well.

I'm sure they will be updated, as I just bought one about 2 weeks ago. I'm not really too bummed, as it's a very very minor update.

Love the nano. Gonna get one as soon as the wife lets me. On another note... Does Apple even use their own web browser? Decide for yourself: http://theodorelee.com/blog/?p=22

Nor does it fix the "Safari Image of Doom", or include any of the improvements to WebKit recently landed and detailed on Surfin' Safari. Hopefully the next update will...

More features on a product doesn't necessarily mean it's better. Apple is the one company around today that gets the "user experience" versus the feature list. Having a good set of features on your product is important, but if the usability is terrible, it doesn't matter if it has every feature...

Pages is not an app aimed at producing webpages. It can do it, but it's not what is meant for. Just because you tried to output a complex page to .doc format and it didn't hold, don't dismiss pages. Although many apps have .doc compatability, having your documents translate correctly is another...

All of the speculation about this has been seriously overblown. The tinfoil hat people are all speculating that MS owns the patent on the iPod because they beat Apple to the punch. They are wrong. Move along people, nothing to see here.

Cringley is a smart guy. He knows Jobs personally. However, I think on many of his recent theories he has been out in left field. Jobs wants to be CEO of Sony/Disney in one regard - he wants Apple to be the new Sony for the 21st century, and he already views Pixar as the new Disney. Apple...

Yeah, and people forget that Volkswagon was another Nazi run company during WWII. The VW Beetle was Hitler's own design! Yet today, the car is the epitome of "cute". Insane.

The last "no go", as I see it, is Mac OS X running on vanilla x86 hardware available for the masses. Although we've jumped the bridge and are now firmly standing on x86 shores, this move would be momentus for Apple, and would probably not be attempted unless Apple hardware just stops selling...

Just placed my order. I had actually just bought a new Pro Mouse and Keyboard last week to match my new ACD 20". I'll be passing the Pro Mouse on to my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She'll find it much easier to use than the Kensington 4 button mouse she has been (trying) to use.

After an evening playing with the demo of SwiftPublisher, I can honestly say it is a great app. In many areas of page layout, it is head and shoulders above Pages. Granted, Pages, while basically a layout app, has a strong Word Processing approach to it. Swift Publisher is just the opposite. It...
