10,000 iPhone Applications poster

TapTapTap created a mosaic to celebrate 10,000 iPhone applications. Do you have them all?

You can purchase the overpriced poster for 50 dollars, if you’re made of money. But if you just wanna see the poster a high res copy can be found on flickr…where else?

Have you resisted the iPhone?

It hasn’t been easy. The internets have been flooded with stories of the miracles of 3G.

When Apple first mentioned their upgrade I stood by my beliefs that this thing was too restricted. After all, who am I to sell my soul to AT&T? I’ve gotta stay true to T-Mobile.

Hearing about Android a few months ago helped, but being in New York City last week did not.

There were iPhones every where. And hundreds of people waiting in line to get their new phones activated in stores. God forbid someone try to unlock the 3G iPhone! [GASP]

Lifehacker had a good article the other day about why you should stay away from the iPhone, so that helped. But it really is the best phone out today. I’ve gotta be patient though…I know that Google won’t stand for this restricted phone.

In the back of my mind I’ve got to remember that Apple is the only company that a year ago could release a touchscreen super phone without 3G connection, without GPS, without a video camera, and without the ability to send picture messages and still sell tons of them to their loyal fan base.

They have earned that reputation, but I don’t want a crippled phone, I want everything it is capable of doing.

In my moments of weakness I have merely gone to the Apple website, then quickly read up on Android. I haven’t waited in line at an Apple store at 7 a.m. And I won’t.

Have you?

Why do geeks have lust for ZFS?

ZFS

In the recent builds of Apple’s new operating system, Mac OS X Leopard, developers have started noticing that there is an option to format a partition using ZFS (Zettabyte file system). There is still no mention from Apple whether this will remain in the final builds, but the file system matches exactly Apple’s plans for Leopard. This article will explain you everything that you need to know about ZFS aswell as why I’m so exciting about its inclusion. Read on to learn more.

I am allowed to hate Microsoft

I get a lot of junk about not liking Microsoft and jumping on the bandwagon of Apple, but when I was editing a video yesterday (for 3 hours) my computer decided to freeze and go to a creepy blue screen with a Windows error (we’ve all seen them).

I thought, if this video doesn’t get saved I’m going to be so mad…I rebooted opened the project and everything was gone…

If only I had Final Cut…

So just know that my hatred towards Microsoft is because I like quality, its not out of childishness.

[Please be wrong Dvorak]

John C. Dvorak, a TWiT, whom drives me crazy, mad a dumb, arrogant, prediction several months ago.

After Apple made the switch to Intel, Dvorak published an article in PC magazine about how Apple is a hardware based company and his conspiracy theory stated that Apple will run Windows as an OS in the future. It might not look like Windows, it might look like Mac, but deep down, it would be Windows.

Today I found a brand spanking new Mac App, over at PaulStamatiou.com, an awesome tech blog, called Boot Camp… This app allows Windows to be run natively on an intel Mac, with out patches or hacking required…wow…

I’ll let you read Paul’s full article and check out boot camp for yourself. I’m just begging, that Dvorak will be wrong about his cooky conspiracy them seems to look closer and closer to a reality…
