Apple – Boot Camp:
More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS [...]

Which Browsers matter in 2006?
Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2006
If you are planning to build or rebuild a site this year you may wonder at some point which browsers you should support. If not, you should! Just looking at your new design in IE 6 is no guarantee it works and behaves the same in any other browser.
Not that long ago the browser shortlist [...]

Exploring the earth from your couch, part 2
Posted on Friday, November 18th, 2005
Imagine yourself sitting down on your couch in front of your television, as usual. A drink in one hand, the TV remote in the other. Don’t worry, the chips are within reach.

Or so it seems. Google wants a Senior Macintosh Developer – Mountain View and/or a Macintosh Developer – Mountain View. I suggest any Mac-developer have a go and bring us… Google Earth for Mac.
You may be very familiar with some of our desktop products including Google Earth, Google Desktop, Picasa, and Google Talk., [...]

Comparing Apples and Lemons*
Posted on Friday, September 2nd, 2005
So how do you compare an Apple running OS X with a Windows based PC? Many a flame-war has started over this matter. Just a few examples:
Apple geeks will tell you any PowerPC 0wnz Intel. But it seems Intel 0wnz Apple soon.

It has been a couple of days since I collected my iBook from the store. Mind you, it is my first personally owned Mac. And it has been fun exploring a new OS and fiddling with all the options on the machine. In fact it still is fun.
