Apple Gazette on Vacation Nov. 3rd – 10th, 2008
Since October 2006 I have been blogging on Apple Gazette almost every week day. I have gone on vacation for a short trip or two with the family, but even from the hotel I found myself posting stuff on the site. Next week, I’m going to try and take a full week off. Writing about […]
Apple rejects Opera Browser, not surprising, but still upsetting
According to a New York Times profile, Opera Software has built a version of their mobile browser for the iPhone – but Apple won’t allow it in the App Store. Frankly, I find this appalling. Apple’s resistance to competing apps such as email applications, web browsers and other apps is shameful, and it’s not benefitting […]

Apple posts details about recent MobileMe upgrades
There hasn’t been much said about Mobile Me recently. Things have been quiet since the less than spectacular launch of the service earlier this year. That is – until Ars Technica found this support document. The document reveals a large list of changes, including some features that may be returning soon. There are many enhancements […]
AT&T finally offers FREE Wi-Fi to iPhone Customers
AT&T has FINALLY made Free Wi-Fi for iPhone’s available to users. Twice now the company has almost done this, then changed their minds for whatever reason. Now, however, AT&T is allowing iPhone users free access to its 17,000 Wi-Fi hot spots around the United States. AT&T claims that all iPhone subscribers received a text message […]
YouTube Find: Apple Lisa – 25 Years Later
You may remember a couple of years ago I posted about an Apple Lisa demonstration video from 1984. (If not, you can find it here). Well, the guy that did it — Alfred — posted a video back in August that is an almost 22 minute in-depth look at the Apple Lisa. Every inch of […]

Psystar releases Mac Clones with Blu-Ray Drives
Psystar continues to be a thorn in Apple’s side, and yesterday took a step further with that by announcing models of their “Hackintosh” machines with built-in Blu-ray drives, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT GPU. The company continues to poke at Apple through its cage as they take the extra effort to slam Steve for his “bag […]
Woz now appearing in Scottevest “woz-i-sodes”
Wow – if you thought Bill Gates’ recent foray into acting in those commercials with Seinfeld was bad…you ain’t seen nothin’ yet my friend. Steve Wozniak (who some of you may remember from his role in…you know…co-founding Apple) is doing a series of web-i-sode commercial-type things for Scottevest. Who is Scottevest? Well, they make geek-centric […]

If you’re interesting in having a Mac-tablet – and you already have a last-gen Macbook lying around – you might be interested to know that Axiotron is now offering a service where they will mod your existing machine for around $1,300. Getting a Modbook direct from them, for comparison’s sake, will cost you about $2,300 […]

RUMOR: Mac Mini might not be dead after all
TUAW is reporting that the Mac Mini may not be as dead at is seems like it is. The new rumor is that the Mac Mini may be getting a refresh that ditches the Intel integrated motherboard design. I certainly hope it’s true. The Mac Mini is what made it possible (financially) for me to […]
Some Macbook manufacturing problems reported online
According to TGDaily some buyers of the new Macbooks are complaining about a loose battery/HDD latch and slanted function keys on the keyboard. This could be an indication that Apple’s new manufacturing process need some refinement…or simply that the folks at quality control need to do a better job. Like many Apple problems this could […]
