Yesterday, I came across this gem on Daring Fireball where John Gruber discusses the change in the rules for developers: My reading of this new language is that cross-compilers, such as theFlash-to-iPhone compiler in Adobe’s upcoming Flash Professional CS5 release, are prohibited. This also bans apps compiled using MonoTouch — a tool that compiles C# [...]
I’m sure by now, you’ve read enough about the iPad to think, “oh, come on, not another article about that thing.” Granted, the hype and rumors got completely out of hand. Contrary to the Windows zealots around me, they weren’t all fed by Apple. I can’t blame them too much, though. They don’t know the [...]
I’m going to take a break from writing about slide design and slideware for a moment to tackle another subject: Snow Leopard. As you’re probably aware, Apple’s newest OS, Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) was released barely more than a week ago. Pundits all around have been quick to criticize the OS release, citing reasons for [...]
Those who know me well know I despise rigid, inflexible thinking and the rigid, inflexible processes that it spawns. I’ve had discussions where time is wasted on a needless and futile attempt to fit every possibility into a well-defined process because, well, we need processes. Today, I had two great examples of how this leads [...]
The news that has the tech and Mac communities all abuzz this week is Apple’s release of the public beta of Safari 4. I’m not one to run beta software on my machine, especially software so critical as a web browser. However, since I’m looking at replacing this computer real soon, I figured it wouldn’t [...]
For those who follow me on Twitter, you may be thinking I’m going overboard when I equate the Democrats’ gains in Congress and in Obama’s taking the White House with a slide toward Communism. However, consider the following all together. It smacks of the Soviet rhetoric we heard growing up: Biden insisting that paying more [...]
This should come as no surprise, given the amount of money he brings to our state, but our senator famous for using the “N” word on the Senate floor 9 years ago can be seen endorsing Anne Barth in her race for Congress. What’s more important than this racist’s endorsement of Barth is defeating her [...]
Yeah, I haven’t posted here in a while. However, if you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’ll know I haven’t exactly been doing nothing. Now, I saw this today, which I’m sure has Steve Ballmer throwing chairs: That would be a Macbook Pro. The other woman to her right also [...]
Pulled from the ashes of my WordPress database is this blog posting of mine exactly 13 months ago. Given today is the day of West Virginia’s primary, it’s still relevant, and is perhaps more-so than ever. ——- Originally posted on April 13, 2007: Now, first off, I do not condone or support Don Imus’s joke [...]
Given what we know now about the source of Barack Obama’s politics, we have another example of what may be on his agenda. As evidenced by Evo Morales, the left is so determined to carry out their agenda that they are willing to ignore the consequences of this kind of theft beyond the obvious injustice [...]
Apparently, the key to getting Macs accepted in the enterprise is by winning the hearts and minds of the people, including CIOs. Now, where I work, that’s impossible because if you’re not using Windows and other Microsoft products by default and without consideration for alternatives, you’re an impure heathen and a heretic. Now, more than [...]
