Thoughts on the WWDC 2008 Keynote
Yesterday was a very interesting day for a number of reasons. I am still shocked to see Apple go the “Snow Leopard” route. I think that’s a terrible move on their part - although I am glad to see that, so far, there has been no mention of that being Intel only. [...]
Mac OS X 10.6 to debut at WWDC 08? Not a chance.
I woke up this morning to a flurry of rumor talk because of the “information” that TUAW received yesterday.
According to the rumor Steve Jobs is going to reveal the plans for OS X 10.6 at WWDC 2008. Not only that - but the next version of OS X will feature ZERO new [...]

Apple is likely to hit its goal of 1% market share in 2008
There’s a great deal of debate going on this morning about whether Apple will be able to sell 10 million iPhone units in 2008.

Expect G3 iPhone hysteria between now and June 9th
It’s that time of year again, and you can see the rumor mongering engines igniting with all the passion and fervor that comes with a Steve Jobs keynote.
What’s interesting so far this year, is that there is no “crazy apple product” being rumored for WWDC 2008. No one has “leaked” images of an iWatch, an [...]

Orange this morning announced that they are planning to bring the iPhone to Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets later this year.

The Beginner’s Guide to Apple Spotting
Guest Post by Melinda Seckington
About two years ago, three of my friends all switched around the same time over to Mac. After that, whenever we were watching a movie or a TV show they would keep pointing out the Macs to me, much to my annoyance. I mean, I didn’t feel the need to point [...]
