Two months ago I posted the things that I wanted to see in iOS 6. Now that it's been announced, let's see how I did. Background Downloading: No Dice I wanted apps to be able to download in the background. Nothing has been announced nor have any developers discovered this ability. But it's not October …
Mac Museum Visual Update!
I've mad some major changes to the way that the Mac Museum part of my website is organized! I've had the museum page up for about 10 months now without any major changes. To be honest, it has been a bit of a struggle to keep up with all of the content that I wanted …
New Additions to the Mac Museum – May 2012
The Mac Museum has been quiet for a couple months after the addition of a PowerBook 540c and some accessories but I've still been busy. In the mean time I've been working on some articles, ruminating on how to present the information in a more interesting and interactive manner, and living my life - planning the …

iOS 6 Wish List
The iOS has come a long way since its introduction in 2007. iOS 1.0 shipped on the original iPhone and while revolutionary in its design and performance it was often criticized for the things it lacked: third party apps, multitasking, copy and paste, MMS, system-wide search, folders on the home screen, a unified inbox in …
They Just Don't Get It: Gizmodo
Apple knows it doesn't have to do any of this. For now. It can put out a minor upgrade every year and sell millions and millions more iPads—so why try? Because trying is what made Apple the most valuable technology company in the world. That's a quote from an article titled What Would It Take …
Old Issues of Mac World
Add another item to the museum: I've begun collecting old issues of MacWorld. I just picked up 12 issues from 1998 and 12 issues from 1997 on eBay and I will be receiving issues from 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1999 soon. I'll be adding these to my collection of 1999 - 2006 issue from the …
My New iPad
The "New" iPad was announced a week ago yesterday. While it looks essentially the same as the iPad 2, it boasts a significantly better screen, an improved camera, improved graphics and performance, and 4G LTE networking. It ships in the same capacities and configurations as before – 16, 32, or 64 GB and WiFi only …
Destroy Zombie iCloud Bookmarks for Good
I have a bunch of Apple products so I was really excited when Apple introduced iCloud with Safari bookmarking. It allows me to sync my bookmarks between my two Macs (running a total of three installations of Mac OS X), iPhone, and iPad. Each time I make changes to my bookmarks on one device it …
The "New" iPad
After months of rumors and speculation, Apple announced the iPad 3, formally referred to as "The New iPad", to the world. Most of the functionality had been rumored previously, which makes the update somehow boring and unimpressive to many technology pundits who have absolutely terrible track records predicting anything that Apple does. The new iPad is …
My 100th Post & Sally's New Computer
What better way to celebrate my 100th post (that's 100 posts in the two years since I switched to WordPress ~ 4 posts a month) than to announce the purchase of Sally's new computer, an "Early 2011" 13" MacBook Pro! It took a lot of convincing but I finally wore her down with specs, comparisons, …
