  • TidBITS Macs & Mac OS X: Apple Reveals More about Mac OS X Lion

    Here’s hoping Apple can continue to support both mobile OSes and traditional desktop computer OSes far into the future. Reading about the hidden goodies in OS X 10.7 has made me feel a good deal more positive about Mac OS X. And it’s very likely I will buy a new Mac with 10.7 pre-installed to…

    First 37Signals announced it would drop support for OpenID. Then Microsoft’s Dare Obasanjo called OpenID a failure (along with XML and AtomPub).

  • iPod classic stock dwindling at Apple

    A few news outlets have also speculated on the meaning of Samsung’s announcement of their newest, largest capacity 1.8 inch HDD.

  • Toshiba rolls out 220GB-Could the iPod Classic see a refresh?

    I still think the iPod Classic is a very useful product. A lot of fanbois of the iPhone/Touch persuasion will demand Apple drop the Classic like a hot potato and go without spinning hard drives one and for all time. I say bring on the HDDs. It’s useful technology and still holds more files for…

    Intel and IBM and TSMC and Samsung have all competed against one another in the area of shrinking the size of the design rules that govern their production lines for processors.
