Criminal Defense Law With An Apple

I knew this was going to happen eventually but this came as a surprise to me. Computer World reports that 8 in 10 businesses now use a Mac?!? Now that’s a headline.  As Apple marches forward and begins to gain more Market share in the business world, let’s all hope they do not fall prey to the mass calling for mediocrity and continue to provide a superior product. From the article:

Nearly 80% of businesses have Macs in-house, nearly double the percentage that said they had users runningMac OS X two years ago, a research firm said today.

“Then, we were talking about onesies and twosies,” said Laura DiDio, a research fellow at Yankee Group Research Inc. who conducted a survey of more than 700 senior IT administrators and C-level executives. “Now the number of actual users is very significant. A number of the businesses said that they had 50 or 100 or even several thousand Macs deployed.”

The time to worry is over? 

Expect an angry call from Ballmer!

A bit inconvenient for those that use their .Mac email professionally. In fact some folks are angry. And you wouldn’t like them when they’re angry. Dot Mac has been down for a number of hours (at last count 6 hours). If you have been following the rumor mill, big changes are coming to dot mac. The new name? Mobile me. The new features? Plenty of guesses. Only Steve and a few others know for sure.

As I have said before, I really enjoy Bee Docs’.  Some of my peers feel this program is a bit simplistic. For me, it does exactly what I need. Today I received an email from the folks at Bee Docs’.

I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that we recently launched Bee Docs’ Timeline - 3D Edition for Mac OS X. The new edition can display your timelines with an interactive 3D perspective as well as exporting to QuickTime and Keynote. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the video introduction that I posted on my blog: www.beedocuments.com/blog/2008/05/bee-docs-timeline-3d-edition-video.html

    

Supposedly faster and sounds better. But do you have 3G coverage in you neighborhood?

On the new iPhone.
