Thursday, April 17th, 2008, by moose

The terrible news came this morning through Apple’s Kbase RSS feed:
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard does not include support for iPhoto 2.

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008, by moose

As always, the JoT is spot on about the various expectations for a 3G iPhone.
The Joy of Tech comic… laughter is the best tech support.

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008, by moose

Hmm, you know Dashboard, when you click that “+” icon at the botom left, it moves the whole black layer up, “pushed” by the aluminum strip which allows you to choose what widgets you want to add?

iPhone vs chinaPhone: the showdown

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008, by moose

p.s.: I think even with her huge nails, she could probably use the tip of her fingers anyway… And you’ll just love the track playing in the media player of the fake iPhone…
