Snow Leopard on Friday
After a bunch of speculation the release date for Apple's OS X Snow Leopard is confirmed - August 28th, this Friday. That had been the rumor going around and yet again it proved to be true.
There really isn't much else to be said. If you have Leopard on your machine and you're looking to upgrade, you can get your copy of Snow Leopard for $29. Even better, if you've bought a Mac anytime between now and last June, you can get your upgrade copy for just $9.95.
Because I bought my Macbook Pro in June I preordered my copy way back then, so I should have it on Friday. Expect a post about how the update goes.

about 5 months ago - No comments
Yesterday Steve Jobs announced his resignation as Apple’s CEO. That’s right, the event that all Apple fans have been dreading but secretly knew was coming sooner or later has finally arrived. The good news: one day after the resignation notice was made public Apple hasn’t imploded and their stock hasn’t fallen into the negative. The
A Week With the iPad
about 1 year ago - No comments
There has been a lot of discussion in the tech community about whether the iPad is a significant new computing device or simply another digital toy that will run it's course and end up sitting in a closet collecting dust. Although I can't really comment on the device's long-term viability, I can comment on some
Apple’s iPad – It’s all about the apps.

I've had some time to digest Apple's announcement of the iPad this Wednesday, and despite being confused and unsure at first I think I've come around on it. Â Is the iPad perfect? Â No. Â Is it a device you need? Â No more than you "need" an Amazon Kindle. Â It's a luxury device that'll fill some use
Google Voice

I was fortunate enough to get invites to both Google Voice and Google Wave this week, but for now I’m going to stick with discussing Google Voice. This is mostly because nobody I know has Google Wave yet and, for a product that’s about collaboration with other people, it makes it hard to form an

So I've had 24 hours to use Snow Leopard on my iMac, and I have some thoughts. First, some background. Though my original intent was to do a fresh install, I decided to go ahead and try an upgrade from Leopard instead. I have all of my data backed up but being that this week
Google’s Eric Schmidt Resigns from Apple Board of Directors
about 2 years ago - No comments
This is a very interesting development given very recent conflicts between Google and Apple/AT&T. Â Sure, Steve Jobs has stated that Eric's resignation was a mutual decision made by both companies because Google's encroachment on familiar territory is becoming a conflict of interest. Â Still, Android has been out for some time, so why now? One of

OSX Snow Leopard Pricing

Hot on the heels of the major announcement that Windows 7 upgrades will only cost $50 this fall, Apple has just announced that Snow Leopard upgrades will be even cheaper at just $29. Â The full retail box copy will cost $169. I'm loving these cheaper prices on operating systems. Â Maybe the industry is starting to

Apple's new Macbook Pro. Â Just announced a few minutes ago, it has all of the specs I was looking at from the HP HDX, the 7 hour battery only found in the Macbook Pro 17" before, 4 gigs of DDR3 ram, etc. Â The chart (from Engadget) is below. Â Only $1699, $300 less than previous Macbook
