So, mobileme…
I really wanted to like it… the idea is good, it looks nice… but it seems to be .Mac all over again.
I don’t care about the issue of the “push” not being real push and taking 15′ to propagate from my Mac to the “cloud”.
My problem is the sync with my iPhone. I subscribed [...]

Are iPhone app devs getting a raw deal? - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):
We mentioned yesterday a rumor that Apple won’t cut a check for iPhone application developers until the dev’s share of the sales tops $250. [...]
From the (indie) developer’s perspective, this stinks. They’ve already paid at least $99 just to participate, and now [...]

So I went on a business trip for a week and I noticed on my way back that the soft plastic sheath of the magsafe cable on my MacBook Pro’s power brick was desolidarising itself from the brick.

Just came back from a serious beer session at the pool bar, which means I missed the WWDC Keynote.
…and I caught up on the news… my take? Forget about iPhone 3G, forget about GPS support and the AppStore…

So I have a 500GB Time Capsule stuck somewhere in the house, to which all the Macs are backed up by Time Machine. Well, actually, my work MacBook Pro gets backed up on the TC’s internal hard drive, while all the other Macs (that’s one G5 iMac, a G4 iBook and a core2duo MacBook) are [...]

In previous versions of OSX, if you had Aperture open while a backup started, Time Machine would skip the Aperture Library until you closed Aperture. Then, the next backup would do a complete copy [...]

About the Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update:
Addresses compatibility issues with Aperture 2.
If it indeed fixes the problem where Time Machine would do a complete backup of your Aperture Library if you had Aperture open the last time Time Machine backed-up your system, then I’d be happy… this was really a pain… too bad Apple isn’t [...]
