Engadget on the Palm Pre

Engadget got their hands on a Palm Pre: “There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Pre, and with a device this new, you can never truly understand what the experience will be like until you put it through the test of an average day’s work. That said, Palm has made enormous strides with [...]

Macworld 2009 Expo show floor summary

So many freaking rabbits! There were bunny ears everywhere.  At first I only saw women wearing them- “oh, somebody must be handing out bunny ears,” I thought.  But then I started seeing men wearing them.  I got suspicious.  Instead of simply asking a bunny-wearing attendee where he/she got them, I decided to go high tech [...]

Macrumorslive hacked during Macworld 09 Keynote!

So I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Macrumorslive.com got hacked while it was giving live updates of the Keynote.  Too bad because they had a pretty cool Ajaxian feed update thing going on.  I’m willing to bet that was step number one towards opening themselves up to hackers.  The first hack that I noticed was [...]

The Macalope responds to a negative post from Wired.com

ADDENDUM: The Macalope, while not shy about profanity, doesn’t usually point it directly at a silly pundit, but in this case he’s going to make an exception for this: Yea, he gets a little harsh there at the end but it makes for an entertaining read.

Macworld 2009 Keynote coverage summary

So, I’m seeing lots of mixed feelings about Macworld.  Some are super excited about the software, others think software stinks and they just wanted their hardware updates.  I’m in the middle.  I’m not super excited about the software, but I’m not disappointed about the lack of hardware updates either.  I knew they weren’t going to [...]

Apple’s last Macworld: Going out with a “big BANG” or moving on?

I’ve seen quite a few remarks this morning on twitter and other feeds that keep restating that they thought Apple was going to go out with a big bang – but they didn’t.  I don’t specifically have an opinion, but I want to at least throw another train of thought out there. The whole mindset [...]

Get a LoD of this: What can Brown do for you?

Today’s Link of the Day is a special delivery: UPS guy hail-mary’s a package into the garage.  Funny that this should be posted today, because just a few days ago I was hearing stories from a coworker about UPS saying that they couldn’t find her house (for a very straightforward city address) and then following [...]
