Steve Jobs in Fortune, quoting Henry Ford.

On Apple's connection with the consumer: "'So you can't go out and ask people, you know, what the next big [thing.] There's a great quote by Henry Ford, right? He said, 'If I'd have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me 'A faster horse.' ' ' "

How true.

Bien sea entre dos Pc's, entre dos Mac, o entre ambos, incluso usando Linux de por medio. Todo el que dispone de dos ordenadores en una casa ha querido montar una red local, para compartir archivos y conexión a internet. Recuerdo la primera vez que tuve que montar una lan inalámbrica entre dos Pc, gracias a mi router Wifi Linkys, no fue excesivamente traumático, pero lo cierto es que de primeras no se me hizo nada intuitivo, y la conexión iba cuando quería.

Macintosh sales were up sharply in February, according to a brief report on the latest NPD data posted Monday at flyonthewall.com (registration required).

The report shows growth in Mac unit sales up 60 percent from 2007 and growth in dollar terms up 66 percent. That's considerably higher than Pacific Crest's estimate of 10 percent, according to the same report.

Désolé mais ce n'est pas vrai... il ne s'agit pour l'instant que d'un magnifique concept du designer Nuno Teixera qui à imaginé le prochain produit de la célèbre marque à la pomme: Apple

Après le MacBook Air très fin c’est aussi la fin (pas mal tournée cette phrase non ?) des écran plats…
Nuno Teixera propose un écran panoramique incurvé parfaitement adaptée au champ de vision humain et le tout dans un respect total du design Mac

When we have computer problems here, we have to waste hours on the phone in a linguistic wrestling match with overseas tech support that gives the same canned fix to every problem that invariably begins with "go to the start menu", before getting cut off or transferred, only to begin anew with "go to the start menu". The whole process can ruin your day, and sometimes your life, if your rage gets out of hand. But, if you're a celebrity like Rush Limbaugh, you don't have to deal with any of this maddening nonsense. You just do what you do best--make a loud, annoying sound--and you get the attention of the big man himself, Steve Jobs. Rush Limbaugh didn't have to repeatedly "go to the start menu" and tear his hair out through the whole tiresome process.

I purchased an Apple iPod when the 40G models first came out, and spent about $499 on it, plus the cost of accessories from the Apple store. It worked fine for about a year then I started having problems. If the unit ever sat for more than 24 hours without being touched, it would forget all settings. It would forget the last song, playlist, equalizer, contrast, shuffle, even which language to use.

I sent the unit into the company twice, with a brief, concise note explaining the problem. The unit would be returned a week or two later with a stock reply of "Unit performing according to specifications" or something similar. It was a generic reply, not addressing my complaints in any way.

La vez pasada platicaba con un amigo que tiene un iPod Touch y me contaba que para subirle el volumen o cambiar de canción, tiene que sacar el iPod de su bolsillo y pues, eso no es muy seguro que digamos por que puede que te vea un amante de lo ajeno y te quedas sin iPod.

Entonces encontré Pocket Touch, una aplicación que te permite controlar tu iTouch desde el bolsillo, por ejemplo, para subir o bajar el volumen, solo deslizas el dedo hacia arriba o abajo sobre cualquier parte de la pantalla o para cambiar de canción lo deslizas a la izquierda o derecha y para pausar la reproducción, solo das "click" sobre la pantalla.
