I had a friend of mine who used to tell this joke, and it’s always stuck in my head. “There are two types of people: People who masturbate, and people who lie.” As taboo a subject as porn is, the facts are that porn viewing soared when the internet started, and now, it’s a huge…
A guy [name removed upon request] chanced upon a rare find on eBay: an Apple ][ Jigsaw puzzle from Apple’s 1983 Gift Catalog. Back in 1983, Apple released a gift catalog featuring Apple-branded merchandize such as mugs, T-shirts, and, amongst many other items, an Apple II jigsaw puzzle. I bought it for 99 pence. Shortly…
The kind of customer service your business provides is going to stay with your customers for the time being and will decide the fate of their loyalty to your business. Mostly the phrase ‘customer service’ will remind them of the worst experiences they had; the hours they wasted being on hold, the very long forms…
Your Mac comes with its very own built-in firewall. But like many built-in security features, new users often ignore these settings. The firewall controls what Internet connections are accepted by your Mac. Some connections, like obviously malicious ones, will always be refused. Some connections, like Apple’s own services, will always be permitted. Connection types between…
May of 1998 was a big month. It was the first time the world was introduced to the iMac. With it, a new era of design for Macs and PCs was launched, and its safe to say that the look of computers has never been the same. Its amazing to see how the iMac has…

iOS 8 has been with us for just under 1o days now, giving everyone enough time to install it and get our feet wet. While Apple calls this their biggest update to iOS since the app store, the truth is that the latest iteration of Apple’s mobile OS is lackluster at best. iOS 8 seems…
macOS’ Spotlight has an image problem. The much-overlooked universal search bar never really got its due. When it was released, it was underpowered compared to third-party tools. Updates have dramatically improved Spotlight’s functionality, but it seems like the news never got out. It’s not Spotlight’s fault anymore: it’s a fast and flexible application launcher and…
Apple has just sent out the following email to members of the ADC. ADC Online Members can log in to ADC on iTunes and view more great content and video from WWDC 2006. Hear directly from Apple engineers with: * Graphics & Media State of the Union * Welcome to Xcode * Taking Advantage of…
There’s a lot of ongoing talk and speculation about Steve Jobs current health, which is to be expected after the announcement from earlier this week. I’m not interested in writing about that. We all know the situation and anything beyond what we’ve heard from Jobs himself is speculation at this point. I decided, instead, to…
It was inevitable, you have to admit. First came the iPad 5 images leak. Today, we have a glimpse of the iPad Mini 2. In silver and space gray, no less. As usual, Apple is tight-lipped about final specs and other details, but we do know that the unveiling will be on October 22. That…
If you’re used to using the shell, you might have forgotten how strange it was the first time you opened Terminal. The application uses interaction rules from decades ago, with text only commands and cryptic abbreviations. For most users it’s unlike any other program on their computer. Xiki brings the shell out of the past…
