    First Impressions of Google's Facebook-killer, Google+

    If you like Google +'s U.I, well it was designed by none other than Andy Hertzfield, the ex-Apple genius that designed most of the original Mac Classic U.I., and HyperCard which was very similar to WebOS. I didn't even know he was working at Google until Google + plus came out.

    OS X 10.7 'Lion' Reaches Gold Master Status

    You once said that Lion was not a major upgrade, but that Snow Leopard was. Well, I found out from Apple that you were correct! But so was! I was told that you have to understand the purpose of the OS upgrades, and why they are the way they are. Snow Leopard, for example, was a major...

    Best Buy Suspends MacBook Air Orders Pending Refresh

    Correction: "... the little white laptop" is actually the 'little silver-metalic laptop'. The white plastic MacBook is still produced, but it's entirely a different model altogether. Personally, I love the little sucker, but I hope they bring back the back-lit keyboard that Apple made so popular.

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    Last words, from a Linux site, that says that a major OS upgrade is a lot more than just the kernel,which you seem to imply it is: http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/various-parts.html PA> You said OS Snow Leopard was a major release because of its 90% rewrite of the kernel, well a lot of...

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    I did a Google search for OS X Lion and found well over 100 sites that list it as A MAJOR OS UPGRADE. This includes major sites such AnnanTech, to Linux sites and smaller sites, including some really good ones, that I've never even heard of before. One of the MAJOR FEATURES of LION, showing...

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    Straight from the horse's mouth... The fact that the computer doesn't need to be rebooted means that not even the OS kernel has been touched, else it'd have to be rebooted in order for modules to be reloaded (there are no hot-swapping of modules while integral hardware is in use). I just...

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    " Like Snow Leopard, Lion's upgrade price is set to $29.99, and as such, the OS is more of an upgrade that's stuck in the middle of being a service pack and a full-blown OS release." Trust me, its a major upgrade. After all, it boasts over 3,000 new features! The low price is partly due to...

    Apple Updates iMac Line-up; Features Thunderbolt and FaceTime HD

    ThunderBolt will be coming to everyone next year I've seen demos of ThunderBolt in action and they are very, very impressive indeed! Unfortunately, it'll be another year before anyone other than Apple can use it. This is because it was Apple who first came up with the idea. but since they...

    There's a White iPad 2, but Still no White iPhone 4?

    The answer to why the iPhone has yet to get a white version is simple: light leakage! The iPhone 4's back is made of colored glass, which can allow light to leak in and wash out its photos. The iPad's back is made of aircraft aluminmun and is inmuned to such leakage. Case closed.

    Apple Announces the iPad 2; Introduces Dual-Core CPU and Faster Graphics

    I definitely hope to buy one this month, even though, as the link below suggests, people in the know say that the real eye-popper, the iPad 3, complete with Apple's 'Retina Display' technology and, hopefully, Thunder Bolt as well, won't be here until sometime this fall...

    Has Microsoft Been Taking Google's Results to Use in Bing?

    Rob, you got that right! After reading a book called "The Marketing Of Evil", l learned to hate this 'evil' company big time. As far as I'm concerned, if Google really believes in being 'open', then they should open up their search 'algorithms' to any and all, including Bing! Google...

    it's been a long time coming! Nice post, I wonder why it's been so long in coming? It's been used on all Intel based Macs from their inception. http://apcmag.com/intel_to_make_major_uefi_announcement.htm

    Apple's iPad Greeted to Cold Reception

    You stated that you did not read any of my links, and yet you commented on them, assuming that they were not worth the time. I didn't attack you, but you sure made me feel that way! I just stated what was obvious - B]you just happened to break one of the most cardinal rules in all professional...
