New MacBooks Leaked
Oct 14th
Just hours before the official announcement real (blurry) photos have been leaked of the new MacBook Pro. It looks like a really nice update. I hope the screen comes in matte as well as the pictured gloss. The gloss looks nice but the glare can be blinding. I hope these are shipping today as I am due for a new machine at work :)

Apple Notebook Event Tuesday
Oct 9th
“tw.apple.pro purports to have images of new aluminum cases for the MacBooks. Judging from the height of the ports (and if the photos are authentic) the new MacBooks could be significantly thinner than their predecessors.”
iPhone 3G Best Apps
Jul 20th
So I have had my new iPhone for over a week now and I’m pretty happy with it. The biggest positive is the new app store. It is great to see how many excellent applications have been made and most are free.
Here are my favorite apps so far:
Remote – Apple’s iTunes remote that works over wifi, good for office pranks (slow volume adjustments).
OmniFocus – A great mobile version of Omnifocus that syncs with the desktop version and is location aware so you can GTD
Loopt – A location based friend tracker that is a bit creapy but could be the future
Facebook – A very good mobile facebook application, on par with their web based iPhone solution
AIM – Works well but will be perfect when Notification Services go live
Twinkle – A great twitter app with it’s own network of location based updates
VNC lite – What can I say not perfect but the only way I can control via GUI remote machines, it works!
Pandora – A music discovery service that pairs very will with the iPhone
UrbanSpoon – Find places to eat based on location, price, and review. The interface is fun too.
WWDC 08
Jun 9th
Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference is in San Francisco on Monday (today). I’m here and getting excited. There are many guesses about what Steve Jobs will announce at the Keynote. Topping the rumors is a new iPhone with 3G, GPS and a larger storage capacity.
Twitter is expecting 10 times their normal traffic tomorrow. They have been having reliability issues in the past few weeks. This may be a proving point for them.
I’m going to try to send updates. If twitter is up you can follow at
