“Sorry, Apple. Papyrus Condensed does not qualify as a ‘feature’…..Apple has all but ignored typography since OS X was born, seven years ago.” – Stephen Coles, typogrphica.org

I admit it, I fool around with more than one partner. Sometimes it’s in my basement just us two together alone.
Sometimes it’s in public. Sneaking a date at the coffee shop.
And sometimes it’s even at work under the harsh flourescent lighting.
I can’t help it. It’s just who I am, and so, I ask–nay, PLEAD–that you [...]

“Nearly every other computer system refuses to recognize curse words, and, in effect, condescend to their users. Apple, by recognizing the reality of English discourse, exhibits respect for their customers.” – Peter Merholz
“…the Apple logo is no longer on the Command key on the new keyboards” – John Gruber
Looks like I have 2 options:
Never change keyboards, and in fact, dig up and old Apple II with the ‘closed Apple’ key – just to keep it real.
Print up an lifetime supply of ‘open apple’ stickers for placing on [...]

I find my mac loyalty waning as they become a bigger player in the world of consumer electronics. Has anyone noticed that Best Buy is now an Apple Authorized Reseller? I’m sure that has something to do with CompUSA closing half it’s stores, but I digress.

The PiPress’s Julio Ojeda-Zapata has a very nice overview of Safari for Windows in today’s issue. Me being both a web developer and a Mac-head, Julio points out some Safari features that even I wasn’t aware of. I may have to start using Safari more. I do have to say that I am pleasantly surprised [...]
During CEO Steve Job’s keynote presentation at the annual Apple Developer Conference this week, he announced to a stunned crowed, that the forthcoming version of Mac OS X, dubbed “Leopard”, will be the last. Replaced by what is being called ‘iTunes OS’.
Apple ‘iTunes OS’ may be the long rumored cross-platfrom OS some claim will [...]

Ah, clear skies…Universal Health Care…6 weeks vacation…Great looking furniture…Ikea…
As if Scandinavia needed yet another reason why they have it so good. Still, they keep pumping out bullet points on the ‘pros’ column: Norway has just declared iTunes illegal. More specifically, they feel that proprietary DRM is bad for competition. And if DRM isn’t proprietary, there’s [...]

You a Mac geek? Feel like you should give a bit to charity this season? Do you also feel greedy and want some new toys of your own?
Fulfill both your giving and greedy side by purchasing a MacHeist software bundle. 8 great free applications from independent software developers. And as a bonus, if they raise [...]

I’ve spent no more than $47 at the iTunes store – despite the increased catalog; movies, music videos, etc. The difficulties of sending my “purchased” music to my new MacBook Pro confirm I have no intention of sending another 99¢ supporting FairPlay.
So, you can see why I’m not impressed by the pissing match between Target [...]
