Welcome to

As you know by now, yesterday we lost a visionary. Though we all strive in our daily lives to change the world — and in small ways we do change it — there are some among us who do so in broad, sweeping strokes. Steve Jobs was one of those people. He touched all of [...]

Yesterday I was one of the lucky early recipients of the iPhone 4. This was an upgrade from a 3GS, so not a major upgrade (or so I thought), but it had enough new features to make me want to upgrade now. After unpacking the device and performing the first sync (an hour long process [...]

There are two camps of Mac users: those that think you don’t have to defrag a Mac and those that know better. I am now firmly in the “those that know better” camp. I do not go easy on my Mac. I download, install, and subsequently delete a lot of data. I also use Parallels [...]

Today Apple held their press event for the iPhone 3.0 SDK preview. There are some great things coming to the new iPhone OS, due to launch in the summer, but a comment by Greg Joswiak near the end of the event regarding the launch date of the OS caught my attention: And we’re going to [...]

If you follow me on Twitter then you will know that I recently tweeted an issue in which Time Machine was failing causing my MacBook Pro to crash in what is essentially akin to the BSOD for Windows users.  The first time this happened I wasn’t even using the laptop.  The second time I was [...]

Today I got a popup letting me know that PGP Desktop for Mac had been upgraded. I downloaded it and looked through the readme to see what was new. Apparently nothing has changed in the last two releases: I went ahead and upgraded, but I’m not really sure why.

Yesterday was full of dissapointment and complaining about the lack of a mention of Lotus integration into the iPhone. However, it may be that Lotus never really had a chance to take part in the big show . Apparently Apple and Microsoft have been in talks to license ActiveSync prior to the iPhone’s initial launch.

To anyone who follows the tech news at all, and probably even if you don’t, you likely already know that Apple made several announcements today related to the iPhone . There has been much anticipation ever since the Opening General Session at Lotusphere in January when Domino Web Access was announced for the iPhone and [...]

I don’t know about you, but I keep my MacBook on a pretty tight sleep schedule to conserve battery power. Even when plugged in it is set to sleep after a period of inactivity. But, when I am deep in the middle of work I am constantly switching back and forth between multiple machines and [...]

Here is yet another very interesting story from the guys at appleinsider.com. This one gives a nice historical overview of calendaring and scheduling on computers, appropriately starting with PLATO Notes, runs through the various releases of Lotus Agenda , Organizer , Notes, Exchange, iCal, and lesser known calendaring software, finally culminating in what we will [...]
