WWDC Keynote

Apple, WWDC, buzz - No Comments » - Posted on June, 8 at 10:43 am

The WWDC keynote is today:

Live blogs:

Speculation about the contnents of the keynote is running rampant on the net. Lots of rumors and overall excitment. Our intrepid devleoper Marie is on the scene and reports long lines that started as early as 10:45 PM last night.

I’m guessing we will se more hardware interace demos, the new iPhone, and perhaps if we are lucky the long awated Mac (iPhone) netbook-like tablet. Oh and one more thing a pop in by Steve?!? Now that would be too much….

Have been very busy with the app we have under development and this iPhone 3.0 special event snuck up on me. Can’t wait to hear the details tomorrow.

Lots of folks should be live blogging it.

Kevin Rose made some bold iPhone predictions during his recent appearance at a Live Diggnation in Austin, Texas during SXSW Interactive this weekend.

Pretending To Work - Making MS Office For The Mac Look Fun + Hip

spoof - No Comments » - Posted on March, 13 at 1:28 pm

This great new video by Dennis Liu makes MS Office for the Mac look fun and hip. Brilliant job - which shouldn’t be a surprise if you saw the Again and Again music video Dennis did last year with his Mac. And it reminded me I need to order my discounted version of MS Office through my client before the end of the weekend.

Our First iPhone App “X” Progress Update

App Dev - No Comments » - Posted on February, 16 at 6:24 pm

Our first iPhone app is coming along nicely. The past two weeks of coding were very productive. Eighty percent of the basic functions are now working. Can’t give away any details yet but App “X” has touch navigation, graphics, sound, and sample content. We are waiting on an Apple license key to install it and test.

Major To-Dos include:

Stay tuned for demos and progress updates along the way.

Me Too Says Microsoft

2cents, copycat - No Comments » - Posted on February, 13 at 8:57 am

Microsoft to mimic Apple and Sony with a retail push. Not sure how MSN’s vendors will feel about this move. Will be interesting to see what they call their version of Geniuses.

I’ll be very surprised if there isn’t a Surface or two in each MSN store.

Happy 25th Birthday Mac

Apple - No Comments » - Posted on January, 29 at 5:02 am

My first look at a Mac was at a friend’s house on a RAF Base in the UK in 1984. I was 12 years old and my family was living in Europe at the time on an Air Force deployment. We played with Mac Paint for hours and I remember feeling totally amazed and awed by what the Mac could do. Funny to think my first gen iPhone can do more now.
