Jaguar already has AMD support?
Certainly seems that way though it is odd that it is listed as Amd and not AMD. I guess a subtle way of stating things in order to keep us fooled? 10.2 Has Amd Support Built In: “” Source: MacSlash
“Welcome to the Real World”
From Weblog to Moblog: “A weblog is a record of travels on the Web, so a mobile phone log (“moblog”?) should be a record of travels in the world. Weblogs reflect our lives at our desks, on our computers, referencing mostly other flat pages, links between blocks of text. But mobile blogs should be far … Read more“Welcome to the Real World”

“I went to Macworld in July…. I thought it was the most boring thing.” Ellen Feiss, a student who gained fame as a bleary-eyed PC-to-Mac convert, on discovering the limits of Steve Jobs’ reality distortion field, Brown Daily Herald, 22 November 2002 Source: Ditherati

The return of the AMD/Apple rumor…(post Comdex)
If you had to pick a time for a major announcement it would have to be MacWorld SF. Who knows what’s real… it’s just fun for now. Apple will start using 64 bit CPU during the following months AMD and Apple Rumors Part II: “Another rumor about an Apple/AMD partnership” Source: MacRumors
Chinese Water Torture
For at least a year now the shower in our master bedroom has been dripping. We have gone through a few shower heads based on the brilliant recommendations of both the super and the landlord but since that was not the problem, the drip continued. You can’t possibly be intense on something like a leaky … Read moreChinese Water Torture
Advice for AOL
Dear AOL, After reading the latest piece in today’s WSJ, Road Runner, America Online Wage Unsisterly Rivalry (subscription required) it occured to me that there is a much longer list of issues that I was previously considering. Before today, I knew about the properties not really playing along with AOL to provide content. I knew … Read moreAdvice for AOL
Big Brother’s Big Win

Implosion World!
This site is an excellent resource for all your explosive needs… You might want to be careful with what you purchase though based on what the government has in mind with their new database project, the Total Information Awareness Program (knowledge is power! 😉 ). Implosion World has everything you need to…: “Implosion World has … Read moreImplosion World!
Spam Tracking…
For whatever reason I have been keeping tabs on the spam that just keeps on coming and coming. It’s hard not to notice when the same thing gets sent to you repeatedly and I thought it would prove (at least minimally) interesting to report what’s hot in spam. I’d say that in a given day … Read moreSpam Tracking…
Two sites and brands with the same info?
There is something I can’t figure out about the strategy at ZDNet/CNet. This morning I read a story on ZDNet about the latest Comdex gizmos and this afternoon I catch the same article on CNet. They are exactly the same except for the differences in each site’s layout. What’s the point of this debacle? Seems … Read moreTwo sites and brands with the same info?
Another BMWFilms sneek peek…
This time it’s “Beat the Devil.” Released for download tomorrow, streamed today… Starring Clive Owen, Gary Oldman and James Brown… how can you go wrong?
Annoying forwarding bug in Mail.app
While it is not a new bug, and also not a consistent one, “crash on forward” issue continues to frustrate me. Seems it only happens when it wants and only seems to effect html emails. There is a work around I am using until this little bug gets squashed… As noted on OSXHints and reported … Read moreAnnoying forwarding bug in Mail.app
The return of the content king?
This could be good news for AOL and for the subscribers… AOL has been deliberately slow to roll out true content oriented offerings to its members, which is difficult for me to understand considering that is the only advantage they have. With the number of properties across all forms of media, AOL is the site/portal/service … Read moreThe return of the content king?
I have to just say it!
I wish I had a larger readership… I picked up this story a few days before any other site I can tell noticed…or at least gave me credit for.

NetNewsWire and Moveable Type
More great news from Brent, Moveable Type blogs will be able to be edited and posted to directly from NetNewsWire Pro. AS noted below it is sometimes tricky to get things working outside of the blog environment where the developer of that program has concealed some of their work. Archipelago allows posting and editing to … Read moreNetNewsWire and Moveable Type
Philips converges and (hopefully) incorporates Rendezvous
They are already publically a licensee, so one can only hope since this box sounds like a very cool addition to the digital home. Hmm…I wonder how things will work between this and the Moxie/Digeo box discussed yesterday which also can utilize 802.11, though I don’t think it has Zero Conf (Rendezvous) yet… Philips converges … Read morePhilips converges and (hopefully) incorporates Rendezvous
Not the way Schiller sees it…
“I don’t think we’re going to be able to edit digital movies on our DVDs anytime soon,” Schiller said. “Over 95 percent of homes already have toilets, but that doesn’t mean you are going to edit videos on them.” PCs, gadgets scrap for home dominance: “PC makers take on the consumer electronics industry in the … Read moreNot the way Schiller sees it…
Not exactly an Apple announcement
I guess the rumors were just too good to be true for now. There is always MacWorld SF and the hopeful release announcement of the IBM Power4 64 bit chip. For now though Apple seems publicly tied to PowerPC. At Comdex, AMD touts win, bangs head: “The chipmaker’s CEO announces a customer win and the … Read moreNot exactly an Apple announcement
