Ever since Apple’s announcement of their new iPad device, there have been a plethora of critical articles and blog posts about how it’s a device that doesn’t measure up. It doesn’t multitask. It doesn’t let you openly install apps. It doesn’t have a USB port or an SD card slot. It doesn’t even run Flash! [...]
Now, this Apple refund has been long overdue: Additional Apple refund
At least Steve Jobs, unlike the vast majority of corporate heads, does a good job of listening: To all iPhone customers That’s cool. But I maintain it would have been cooler to wait more than two months before executing such a significant price drop. He says, and this has been mirrored by many other people [...]
How are you iPhone early adopters feeling today? Don’t worry, I’m not about to rub it in. I know what it’s like to feel fleeced, especially by a company you really like. You buy a favorite DVD title, unaware that the studio is planning a special edition with a newly restored transfer just around the [...]

I received my first-ever Apple Macintosh computers yesterday, a 20″ iMac and a Mac Pro. As I mentioned in my previous post on why I decided to switch computer platforms (see link above), the iMac is for the wife and kids, and the Mac Pro is for myself. Up until now, we’ve all shared one [...]
I’m checking my Fed Ex tracking numbers, and I see that both Macs have arrived today. Heh, would have been a good day to call in sick. I’ll post all about them after I get home, get them unpacked, and get them up and running…
