The long-awaited rumor that iWork ’06 will include a new application, Numbers, seems to have only been a rumor. iWork actually seems to have not gotten much of an update, and Numbers wasn’t even mentioned. I think that Apple is more concentrated on iLife and not as worried about iWork. Apple is a creative company, […]

Someone pointed out to me the significance of Apple’s closing price, that the number is 8086. In case you don’t know, this is the first Intel chip that had the x86 architecture. There is a Wikipedia article that talks about the 8086 processor. It seems so strange and ironic that Apple closed at this price […]

The first page, or the index, now has 5 buttons on the bottom, and they redesigned the footer to look more cleaner. But the Mac OS X page has changed significantly. The page now […]

It looks like my idea of Apple marketing with Intel Inside came true, and Apple made a commercial for the new MacIntels. The ad, if you haven’t seen it, is really amazing and it has a strong message. I can’t wait to see this one on national TV, and maybe it will be aired at […]

img2icns is a very simple, powerful utility. Just drag-and-drop an image; jpg, gif, tiff, and png files; to the img2icns dock icon and it converts the image directly into a full icns file. You can now use this icon file to change the icon of an application, folder, etc. This little application is the best […]
