Stranded in San Diego
I’m supposed to be at home right now. After my vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we were flying back through the Dallas/Forth Worth Airport and our Seattle flight was canceled. They told us that we’d be stuck for another 48 hours! So we decided to try and get a flight from DFW to San Diego [...]
Apple’s new in-ear headphones: AppleInsider review
Check out this great review by AppleInsider on Apple’s new in-ear headphones.
A blog about nothing
One thing I’ve been thinking about my blog lately is its current direction solely towards my interest in Apple and its products. This is not what I had in mind when I created my blog – hence the title “devinsblog” not “myappleaddiction.” What I really had in mind was to give a glimpse into ALL [...]
Latest MacBook update didn’t fix external monitor
One of the issues that I mentioned in my post about Apple’s latest unibody MacBook firmware update was that my external monitor flickers and freaks out when it comes out of power save mode (when the screen goes off, computer still on). I was hoping that the latest update would fix it, but it seems [...]
Firefox 3.1 Beta adds support for 3-finger gesture
Finally! Many complaints about Firefox lately have revolved around the lack of support for the late-2008 Unibody MacBooks’ multi-touch trackpad, particularly the 3-finger gestures. This feature has already been built in to Safari and allows users to go back in history (3-finger swipe left) or go forward (3-finger swipe right) – finally Firefox has adopted [...]
Late-2008 Unibody MacBook Update
There’s a firmware update out for the late-2008 unibody MacBooks. Maybe it’ll fix my issues with the external monitor going crazy when the screen comes back on after going dark (from energy saving). Others have been complaining about how the MacBooks come out of sleep if you remove anything from the USB ports while in [...]

In preparation for Macworld expo 2008: developer podcasts
In preparation for the Macworld expo I’ve been brushing up on all things Apple. As a developer, the first thing that caught my attention was the Mac Developer Roundtable podcast series. Be sure to have a listen!
I love Google Reader
You should too. It also works great on the iPhone in MobileSafari for news on the go.
Apple stands for quality: no cheap MacBook on the horizon
[This article is intended to be read within the context of my other post: Apple's NetBook release stategy | Redefining "netbook"] Last Friday, AppleInsider posted an article about Apple releasing a netbook – I disagree with this as the term is currently defined. AppleInsider then goes on to say that it’s believed by some that [...]
Apple’s NetBook release strategy | Redefining “netbook”
Lately there’s been a lot of talk about Apple reducing it’s notebook pricing and coming out with a cheap MacBook that would be able to reside in the netbook segment of the market. This has created a lot of controversy around whether or not Apple should release a cheap product. Apple has stated that they [...]
Apple Tax: overused and reiterated
I think this article explains Apple Tax the best. I know the term has been talked about way too much lately, but I feel I need to reiterate it. It’s annoying to see people complaining about one of the only computer manufacturers that really cares about the entire computer experience, from physical appearance all the [...]
Next generation iPhone to use Intel Moorestown processor?
