Macworld Roundup, Day Two

Day One of Macworld was cool for the Keynote, but I didn’t see anything cool on the show floor, and I didn’t attend any conferences. Day Two, however, was much cooler. The only presentation I saw was a bit of the Macworld Best in Show (some representative from… Read More »

Macworld ’07 Predictions from The Apple Blog

With Macworld ’07 only a few days away and rumor sites incessantly churning out rumor after rumor, the last thing you probably want is a bunch of Mac geeks giving their completely uninformed opinions on what will transpire in the keynote. If that’s the case, we’ll… Read More »

 
 

Today I received a letter in the mail from a writer claimed to work at an Apple affiliate. In the letter he stated some very good scoop and encourage me to write about it here on TAB. So without further anticipation, I intend on spilling the… Read More »

Playing Keynote Bingo

I seem to remember this game originating maybe as far back as a couple years ago, though I apologize for not remembering who’s brainchild it was. But what for the past few Keynotes has been only a printable (usually pdf) version, has been coded and… Read More »

iPodDS

This is pretty sweet for all you home brew fans out there. This guy made his Nintendo DS function like an iPod, using the lower (touch) screen as the click wheel. Not overly useful – unless you have a DS and not an… Read More »

Just For Fun: Once You Go Mac

The title that I gave the announcement (yesterday) about Adobe bringing Premiere back to the OS X platform reminded me of this video I saw one time. I apologize, but I can’t recall where I found it. So if you’re that person, or… Read More »

Best Marketer of All Time

Since it’s not yet a category to which an award is given, Apple will have to settle for “Marketer of The Year” for 2006. I know this isn’t new news, but I thought The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs was worth a mention.… Read More »

Two Hours of Magic

An eagle-eyed Digg’er points out that the Keynote at next week’s MacWorld Expo will be 2 hours long. Typically it runs a little more than an hour, but not this year kids. We get a solid 120 minutes of his Steveness… Read More »

It’s Looking To Be A Happy New Year

Well, the new year – and another work week – has begun. I trust everyone had a fun and safe series of holidays, but it’s time to get back to business. There’s a whole new year ahead, and that of course means plenty of new resolutions,… Read More »

Vista Will Be An IT Nightmare

Well, Microsoft has said it themselves, Windows Vista (due out in about a month) will be a huge nightmare to support. On the official Vista development blog, Microsoft claims a study, conducted by IDC and commissioned by Microsoft, found that Vista will… Read More »

MacHeist Hits $50k Mark

Phill Ryu’s MacHeist has just hit the $50k mark for charity which means all of the nearly 5,000 people who have purchased the software bundle so far will now be getting a NewsFire license. If MacHeist users purchase enough to raise $100k for charity (25%… Read More »

Macs in the Business World

Here’s another one. Apparently riled some HP execs in a meeting on Wall Street. Nice. “That notebook you’ve got there is a challenge to us.” Guess the friendly days of HP selling iPods are long passed. I’ve been tracking the growing popularity… Read More »

More Must Reads

Mac user Nancy Spoolman got an early Christmas present from her PC-using son, Corey: a handcrafted oak clock in the shape of Apple’s famous logo. Dubbed the ‘Macintock,’ an engraved plaque on the bottom reads “An apple a day keeps the viruses away.” “I think he’s telling me… Read More »

MyDreamApp, MacHeist, MacZOT!, MacAppADay – these are all recent or current marketing plans that have originated in the world of Macintosh software. With the exception of MacZOT! (which follows something of a Woot plan of attack, offering one smokin deal… Read More »

It’s a few years since the Switcher ads ended, but the rate of Mac converts is higher than ever, Apple has successfully completed the Intel transition, and market share is on the rise. So what does Apple decide to do? Start a new advertising campaign, this… Read More »

Geez, I think I’m gonna start this as a regular sort of topic here at The Apple Blog. This’ll be the 2nd example this week of a business leader in a seat of power talking about their move to Macintosh computers (here’s the otherRead More »

These days, everyone seems to have an opinion on what Apple’s going to do next. It’s not surprising to see analysts base their prediction for Apple stock entirely on an upcoming product. Doing that is fine for, say, Intel, because their roadmap is available for public… Read More »
