Stop the suing!
<sigh> At the moment, everyone is suing Apple and in return Apple is counter-suing everyone. It’s not just Apple, Google, Nokia, Sony, you name the company they are probably suing someone for some sort of patent breach.

It’s patently ridiculous
Yes, that is my opinion of all the patent cases that tech companies are throwing at each other right now.
Apple suing Samsung, Samsung suing Apple, HTC suing Apple, Apple suing, Nokia suing Apple…well the list goes on. I might have got some of these wrong, but at this point I just don’t care anymore!

Don’t be evil
That is my simple plea to Apple.
Google, have famously adopted ‘do no evil’ as their corporate motto. I’m not 100% they are sticking to that, but that’s the subject of this post.
Apple is and their attempt to stop sales of the Galaxy tablet in Europe .
My question is why do this? Yes Samsung probably has infringed on some Apple patents, but so what? Apple is already dominating the tablet market, completely. The opposition is down, why keep on kicking it?
I know that in the end, no company is in business to be nice, they are in business to make money, and Apple do that very, very well, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised they are doing things like this.
I just preferred my image of Apple as being ‘friendly’ and ‘nice’.

Excel and Numbers
There is no point in denying it, I am a spreadsheet geek (as well as being all sorts of other geeks as well!) So when someone on line, asked me which was better on the Mac, Excel or Numbers, I couldn’t resist, putting my throughs down on paper (screen!?)

The future direction of Apple
When Apple announced the App Store for the Mac, I wasn’t worried. But now with the news that the Xserve is being dropped from Apples range, I am getting concerned. (more…)

Magic Trackpad epiphany
Now I get it!
I have, just this moment, ‘got’ Apples new Magic Trackpad. It was one of those BLAM moments, so much so I had to stop my work to post this.
I was working on Pixelmator on a large hi resolution image, so I was zoomed in a long way. I was cleaning up the last few pixels which the magic wand tool hadn’t got and I found my self moving around the image with my right hand using my Magic Mouse while making the changes using the Wacom Bamboo tablet pen in my left. I hand’t even really thought about this I was just doing it! And a Magic Trackpad would give me a much lager area to work on so give me more control.
Yes I get it now! Does this mean I will be getting one as well? Maybe no, I don’t do a lot of art stuff, but then I do want to do more, so maybe I will
Dam you Apple! I don’t need to be spending more money right now! :}

Consumer Reports now ‘can’t recommend’ the iPhone 4
Consumer Reports now ‘can’t recommend’ the iPhone 4: After a recent positive blog post stating that the iPhone 4 reception issues were not something that should prevent someone from buying the new iPhone, the nationwide testing firm has now changed its mind and given a thumbs down to Apple’s latest efforts.
