Posted by: admin on October 15th, 2008

Turns out it was the process. Go figure. You can see the video here. Apple also refreshed the laptop lineup providing more power under the hood. There is a new look to the Macbook bringing it in line with the rest of the products (everything looks like the iPhone).  Also an update to the monitors. The whole product lineup is looking sharp.

OT: The Psystar Saga

Posted by: admin on August 27th, 2008

Another 60 days from Mobile Me

Posted by: admin on August 19th, 2008

Mobile Me is giving current subscribers another 60 days free. From Apple,

We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make. To recognize our users’ patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the one month extension most subscribers have already received. We are working very hard to make MobileMe a great service we can all be proud of.  

I  presume this is in response to all the grumbling regarding the additional email outages that users experienced. However, even old-reliable-gmail users were stung last week. I am waiting for some positive reviews before I can place my firms calendaring data in Mobile Me. I am still testing address book and push, with the iPhone.
