I’ve been using OS X Lion for a few days now, and apart from the obvious new features that were advertised by Apple or that are mentioned in every review, there’s a plethora of little things that are new or have changed. I want to highlight a few of those here, in no particular order. … Read more
Apparently, the question has arisen wether or not Apple should be subjected to an antitrust investigation. In their youngest SDK license terms, Apple explicitly forbids development of iPhone OS software in languages other than C, Objective C, C++ and JavaScript. That is, apps written in other languages (such as Flash/ActionScript) will no longer be accepted … Read more
Well, I’ve used the Safari 4 public beta for a day now. I’m not very impressed with the UI changes. In fact, the tab bar is a shameless rip-off from Google Chrome. The Top Sites feature isn’t exactly original either. Apple should tuck its tail between its legs and go be ashamed of itself. They’re … Read more
Besides the end-of-year bonus from my work, the tax administration office also decided they owed me some money. So I got myself an iPhone 3G today in Belgium, since they’re simlock free there. I still have a contract that won’t expire untill the summer, and besides, I don’t like to be limited in my choice … Read more
Today, I received my new 24" Apple iMac. I opted for the 2.8 GHz model, with 2 GiB of memory and a 500 GB hard drive. The full specs can be found here. Oh, and I chose the Bluetooth keyboard, because I already have the corded version. As usual, here’s a picture of the beauty: … Read more

Last Friday, I installed Leopard, the sixth major release of Apple’s Mac OS X. After 2 days of playing around with it, all I can say is: Incredible! Not only is it notably faster than Tiger (Leopard’s predecessor), its new features are simply fantastic. Of course, I’ve used things like backup software (Time Machine) and … Read more
Today I received my new aluminum Apple Keyboard. I knew it would type very comfortably, because it has the same kind of keys that my MacBook has. And on top of that, it’s just gorgeous. It does have a wire, but with a keyboard that’s not really a problem since I have it laying on … Read more
Since a week or two ago my 20 GB 4th generation iPod died, I needed something else. As temporary substitute my phone (a Nokia N73) did nice, but a phone just isn’t designed to be an MP3 player. An iPod is. It just sounds better (with proper ear pieces). Back in late 2004, when I … Read more
