MSN Messenger for iPhone
Windows Live Messenger arrives on iPhone – yay! I was looking for a good messenger client a few weeks back, so now that I see this I’m glad I gave up looking. The official version looks good – biggest benefit is that it supports sign ons from multiple locations, which is the biggest thing missing from most non official Messenger implementations.

You’re holding it wrong!

An interesting rumor
An interesting rumor indeed - Microsoft's Steve Ballmer to Present During Apple's WWDC 2010 Keynote? Tags: Apple
Has Steve Jobs gone mad?
Has Steve Jobs gone mad? I think it’s a trick question, but you can form your own conclusion. Either way a reduction in the range of development tools for any platform can only be a bad thing. Tags: Apple
OS X Hidden Gems
OS X Hidden Gems – some you’ll have seen already no doubt, but there’s bound to be a couple of new ones. Tags: Apple
mStand
The mStand is designed for the Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro, but is “suitable” for all laptops. While it might seem a bit silly that your Mac needs a special stand, they do look to make a lot of sense if you’re using an Apple Cinema display. Tags: Apple
Apple releases new Bootcamp drivers
Apple updates Boot Camp, drivers for Windows 7. These updates apparently add Windows 7 support for the Mighty Mouse, however I can’t get mine to work as yet. More testing required. However, all is forgiven because they’ve fixed the hyper sensitivity of the trackpad’s tap to click functionality which was a complete deal breaker, so I’m happy (and haven’t given up on the Mighty Mouse yet). On a side note it always makes me laugh when I have a post that combines these 2 tags: Tags: Apple, Windows
Smart folders in OSX
The Smart Mac: Smart Folders in OS X is a quick summary of smart folders – useful if you’ve not played with them a lot before. Interesting to read that they were a feature which came through from BeOS. Tags: Apple
Monotouch
MonoTouch allows developers to create C# and .NET applications which will run on the iPhone and iPod touch. MonoTouch allows developers to create C# and .NET based applications that run on Apple's iPhone and Apple's iPod Touch devices, while taking advantage of the iPhone APIs and reusing both code and libraries that have been built for .NET, as well as existing skills. Interesting. Think I'll stick with XCode for now though. Tags: Apple, Microsoft, iPhone, .NET
Cinch
Cinch is a piece of software which adds window positioning features similar to Windows 7 to OSX. Looks neat, and especially useful to people who switch between Windows 7 and OSX (thanks Sonic!). Tags: Apple, OSX

IBM delays Lotus Notes for iPhone, users "too hip and cool"
IBM delays Lotus Notes for iPhone, users "too hip and cool" The quote "I can't really imagine someone who's really hip and cool -- like an iPhone user -- wanting to use Lotus Notes" is quite amusing. Tags: Apple , IBM

Will it iBlend?
"Everybody knows that the iPhone can make phone calls, play movies & music, surf the web, and a lot more. But, Will It Blend? That is the question." Spoiler warning: YES! IT BLENDS! Technorati tags: Blendtec, Apple, iPhone
iPwned
iPhone root password cracked in three days. I like the thought that the passwords were "intentionally included to throw hackers off the scent". Apple users pretty much live in a permanent state of being afraid that their machines will become insecure one day. I guess that's because it would kill 50% of their source material for advertising campaigns.

Apple's market cap will exceed IBM's
Fake Steve explains why Apple will be bigger than IBM in a couple of years.
Right now we're at about $100 billion and they're at $160 billion. But they're treading water and we're just getting going. Another key difference of course is that we're a tech company.

My little iTunes gripe
Quite often when I say bad things about iTunes, people will send me email and tell me I'm wrong. So here's the one, main, annoying thing which is preventing me from running iTunes (on Windows) for more than 10 mins before I get annoyed with it: I want to be able to have it running with the library showing OR in the mini player and NOT show up on my Taskbar (Tasktray is fine, and desirable).
Interestingly enough it's my main gripe with the current MSN Messenger clients too - there are some things which run all the time which...
iPhone blah blah blah
The iPhone looks very sexeh indeed. There's nothing more I can really add to the fray of people already talking about it, but I did want to comment on something I found rather amusing. While watching the news last night, they showed a clip from ABC (I think) - it had this great shot of reports/media people crowded around a prototype iPhone in a glass case, taking photos of it with their cameras or (more commonly) with their existing cameraphones. There was something incredibly comical about people pointing their cellphones at this glass encased mobile phone god. It looked like...
New Zealand's iTunes store is now open
New Zealand iTunes Store is now available as an option in iTunes. Sounds like the prices are pretty reasonable. Guess it might have been worth the 2-3 year wait after all.Technorati tags: Apple, iTunes
London reclaims biggest Apple Store accolade
London reclaims biggest Apple Store accolade as they open their Regent Street store. The store now offers 28,000 square feet of personalised selling space, and I bet it has a very strong smell of hackey sack.Technorati tags: Apple, iTunes
Macbook Booboo
This reminds me of appliances which come with packaging which absolutely needs to be removed - normally these are heaters and microwave ovens and such like. Seems the Macbook pro is going to join that list of appliances with their latest slip up.

iPod Owners Not Thieves
Apparently, according to this article on slashdot iPod owners are less likely to download music using filesharing software than owners of other MP3 players.
There are a few reasons they mention for this, but here's another possible one not mentioned: Maybe they're so certain iTunes contains privacy compromising features that they decided it wasn't worth the risk? ;)Technorati tags: Apple, iPod
XP Won't Run on Intel Macs
XP Won't Run on Intel MacBook, iMac
With the announcement of the first Intel based Macs yesterday, many users have rejoiced in being able to dual-boot both Mac OS X and Windows. Unfortunately, this is not the case; due to Apple's use of the extensible firmware interface (EFI) rather than BIOS, current Windows releases will not run on the systems.
