Videos depicting Snow Leopard in action removed from YouTube
Videos of Snow Leopard in action made the rounds on the web quite a bit yesterday, and not surprisingly, the aforementioned videos have subsequently been taken down. Our guess is that Apple caught wind of the videos, which were available at www.youtube.com/leopardoctober, and sent them a pleasant legal warning/demand to immediately take the videos down. The videos, however, […]

19. May 2009
Sprint announcedtoday that the Palm Pre will hit store shelves on June 6 for $199, after a $100 rebate. So consumers will really have to shell out $299, and then wait faithfully for their $100 rebate to come in the mail. Rebates suck, but apparently Palm really had to do whatever it could to make the […]

There was a time, back when boys were boys, that the Mac OS was littered with fun and quirky easter eggs, which are essentially little messages or images from developers that can only be seen if a user knows how to access them, usually via a sequence of keystrokes or desktop actions. The ubiquity of […]

18. May 2009
One of the cooler things about iTunes, though perhaps not widely known, is iTunes U, an area within iTunes that lets users download educational content such as lectures and lab demonstrations from Universities much in the same way you would download a podcast. Naturally some of the content is restricted to students who attend a particular University, but much of the content […]

18. May 2009
The following video might give us an idea as to what moving and re-sizing windows will be like in Snow Leopard. The video is from a Snow Leopard build from June 2008, so it shouldn’t be assumed that this video is reflective of what the final implementation will be like. Either way, we like where […]

15. May 2009
Is it just me, or are these commercials getting a bit repetitive. “Meet abc, they want a computer for less than x amount. We told them, ‘you find it, we buy it.‘” Then cut to them looking at a Mac before making a dismissive comment about the price. Rinse and repeat. This commercial might be […]
