I told you so

From Joe Wilcox, via John Gruber: "Earlier today, Apple released the Safari 3.1 Web browser for Mac OS and Windows XP/Vista. A couple hours later, Apple Software Update popped up on my daughter's Sony VAIO, offering Safari 3.1 for download. I didn't recall seeing an earlier version installed on the laptop. And I made no mistake: The Apple updater offered installation of new software, not something that had been there before."

Pierwszy dzień z Leopardem

Tak jak mówiłem wiele razy po zakupie dysku zewnętrznego postanowiłem dokonać upgrade'u systemu.

Takim sposobem wczoraj wieczorem został zainstalowany na moim MacBook'u Leopard. Dzisiaj doszła aktualizacja do 10.5.2 oraz najnowsze łatki do Time Machine i AirPort'a.

Time Machine dostał z mojego 500GB dysku (WD Home 500GB FW400 / USB 2.0 / eSATA) 120GB na swoje kopie zapasowe mojego dysku o pojemności 80GB (zajęte miejsce na tą chwilę to 33GB). Reszta to partycja przeznaczona na iTunes Library i inne pliki, których nie zawsze będę potrzebował na dysku MB.

Does It Pay to Be Flexible?

“Are many young adults today just not trying hard enough to launch their careers and gain financial independence?” asks MSNBC contributor, Eve Tahmincioglu.

My June 4 column addressed how many“Are many young adults today just not trying hard enough to launch their careers and gain financial independence?” asks MSNBC contributor, Eve Tahmincioglu.

My June 4 column addressed how many parents were struggling to help get their adult sons and daughters on the right career path. I suggested their kids needed a little bit of tough love. Mom and Dad can’t keep the gravy train going forever, right?

Pumped!

The temperature outside is 48!  I'm going running!  Even though I surprisingly enjoyed running in the snow (the air was warm and the snow was pretty) on Monday...I'm thinking I'm going to LOVE running today. So here goes nothing :)

Apple and Adobe: Who needs whom?

picture-97.pngAdobe has tipped its hand, and it now seems clear that it needs Apple's iPhone more than Apple (AAPL) needs Adobe's Flash. But it's not at all clear that Adobe (ADBE) will get the foothold on the device it seems to want so badly.

Apple alcanza el 14% de las ventas

Apple ha vendido el 14% de los ordenadores personales en Febrero en Estados Unidos, cuando el año pasado sólo alcanzó el 9% en el mismo mes y mercado, según datos de la firma NPD que publica Apple Insider. Estos datos significan que los ordenadores Apple están creciendo en ventas a un ritmo del 60% al año (mientras el mercado entero sólo ha aumentado en un 9%) y al 67% en ingresos. Hasta el Macbook Air parece que está teniendo buenas cifras, para mi sorpresa.

Apple's business model

Saw this article today about Gartner, a Boston based advisory firm (and competitor to AMR Research where I used to work) announced that the iPhone is ready for business applications. As my friend Ash had written about earlier, one has to wonder about the future of Apple's business model.
