Snow Leopard

Apple’s latest update for the Leopard OS has come out a month early. Mark was just telling me this past weekend that we need to go to the store and buy it — you can’t just download and install. That kind of sucks, but since we have an Apple Store in our city, it’s not [...]

Exploding iPhones and Growing Bing

In supposedly isolated cases, two different iPhones exploded in Europe. A teenager in France had an iPhone and it exploded, sending a shard of debris in to his eye. In England, the iPhone ‘jumped into the air’ after it was dropped. I’m seriously not making it up. Look up exploding iPhones in the NYT. The [...]

Google operating system turns relationship with Apple into competition

Today the Chief Executive of Google, Eric Schmidt, stepped down from his position on the Board of Directors at Apple. What can this mean for the future of the two allies? I’m a HUGE Apple fan and I’m a pretty big Google fan, so I’d like to keep seeing positive developments from both of the [...]
