Perhaps they should rename it Epistle.app

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
If Russian author Alexander Pushkin were around today, you think he'd be writing longhand? No way. Pushkin would be a Mac man, all the way. Besides his published works, Pushkin was quite the letter writer; I'm sure Mail.app would have...

Authored by Derik DeLong at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
David Morgenstern of eWeek has speculated about Leopard’s as-yet-unreleased system requirements. Based upon the fact that systems without Firewire didn’t make the cut for Tiger (and Panther dropping the original G3s, though they weren’t mentioned in the article), he...

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Software
Yes, it's the Mac holiday celebrated the world over as "iCal day." Open up that Applications folder and gaze upon the iCal icon. What mysteries does its July 17th date hold? What might we learn about the thought process of...

The new iPod: the Apple...remote?

Authored by Scott Silverman at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
Sometimes, I honestly wonder what our world has come to. If the same amount of energy was spent on, say, world hunger as it was on iPod accessories, the world would be a very different place. That being said,...

When you press your left shift key and press q; you get a “Q”. Hold the right shift key and press q; you get a “Q”. Hold down both shift keys. Press q. You get… nothing? Uhhhh. It’s not...

Jobs featured in religious flyer

Authored by Scott Silverman at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Steve Jobs
Ahh yes, freedom of speech. Such a wonderfully amusing thing. Sometimes, though, I question why I waste my time reading other people's words of freedom. Perhaps it's because they waste their time reading mine? Perhaps it's simply because I...

Authored by Derik DeLong at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
We may have had fun speculating about Apple’s involvement in with Sony’s upcoming PS3 when an Apple logo appeared on their website. A few of us may have gotten carried away when we suggested that Mac OS X might...

Sony's snafu: Apple logo on PS3?

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
Something strange is happening on Sony's PlayStation 3 site. If you load up the front page, you may ever so briefly notice an almost subliminal image, floating right beneath the "PlayStation 3" text. Gamer site Joystiq subjected the image to...

Fake OSX runs on iPod

Authored by Scott Silverman at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Huh?
Despite the fact that the video is obviously a fake, the concept is nevertheless interesting. Running a mobile version of OS X on a touch-screen iPod? Very cool. There are several problems with the concept, however. For example, how...

Use iPod to back up...your toilets

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | iPod
Don't drop your iPod mini in a toilet, okay? I could see that look in your eyes, like you were considering just letting it drop in. I'm here to tell you that it's not the answer. In fact, I'm thinking...

MacBook: black vs. white

Authored by Scott Silverman at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Intel Macs
The day Apple released the MacBooks, I remember noting that they came in two colors, and then thought immediately about benchmarks. Would Macworld and its similars be benchmarking both colors? Would there be any difference in performance of equally...

Dvorak deliberately pokes Mac users with stick

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | People
So, it turns out the key to handling John Dvorak is a lot like the key to high school bullies or some kinds of bears: ignore them until they go away. In a conversation with noted blogger Dave Winer at...

Authored by Dan Moren at 8:28 PM
Subcategory | Geekery
So, you've got two MacBooks on your hands: black and white. You've benchmarked them, tested them, even pulled them apart to find out just what makes them tick. Now what? Well, if you're Kodawarisan, you start pulling keys off them...
