Apple Earnings (Still) About the Mac

Aditya — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:45:43 GMT

One could be forgiven for overlooking the Mac coming off a month of iPhone 3G madness, but the iPhone will have played a tiny role in determining the strength of Apple’s quarter, which came to a close in June.

Too Much Time on Your Hands

Aditya — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:44:20 GMT

Add this to the list of useless MacOS feature vs. Windows feature comparisons. Don’t miss the last paragraph (the “wrap up”) to really understand what I’m talking about.

OpenMoko Train Wrecking

Opening up the world clock generally shouldn’t take this long. I mean, it’s a freakin’ clock!

That line pretty much describes the rest of the train wrecking, plus I love how he pokes at the screen with a big blue pen all along.

Wants Have No Limits

With requests of features exclusive to the Macbook Pro (shared with the Air) to be included with the entry level Macbook as well, these people will soon be asking for a standalone GPU with their Macbooks as well. I’m all for uniformity in the lineup, but let’s get real people.

Twitter Design Change

I haven’t seen the new design yet, but it does look a little unfamiliar. It however does offer more integration points for search, which is always a good thing.

Mac OS Continues to Gain Share

Aditya — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:33:21 GMT

… is Windows the new cheapskate strategy? Do people only buy it if they’re looking for something cheap and “good enough”?

Barring a few people, I have never met anyone who has picked Windows over another operating system “by choice”. I would love to see some numbers for copies sold via. retail against OEM copies under use. That should give a very good idea of how many people “pick” staying with their Windows system. This is taking into consideration that a blatant majority of users don’t know how to switch, scared of “breaking” something, so they choose to stick with the “good enough” system that works.
