Insight in Technology from Adam Jackson & Friends
On December 11th, 2007, I received an email from a producer named Brad; an early 30s filmmaker from New York who worked for a production company. Brad told me about a “Macintosh Documentary” he was working on. It didn’t have a name at the time and here’s the email I received: This documentary is our […]
So. You may have heard that Apple is pulling out of Macworld in 2010. Big whoop and we all saw it coming. I’m not upset about it as you may have read my post on MacworldBound. I’m actually over this whole Macworld mess anyway and have been ignoring the blog posts from every Macworld Magazine […]
I subscribe to only 15 RSS feeds related to Apple and for the past 3 freaking weeks, all I’ve heard is Apple’s black Friday deals are going to be the most competitive ever! That’s what I heard last year! This is a short post because I know you’re all busy chowing down on turkey and […]
Every year for the past 3 years I take Christmas eve off and I start to go crazy. The itch to get things done begins and I find myself logging on to social networks trying to find friends to chat with or parties to attend. It’s quickly realized that I’m alone and everyone is with […]
Today, I stopped by Rickshaw Bagworks here in SF. This company is very new and is already doing some amazing things. I picked up one of their bags after completely customizing it and filming them make it right in front of me. My girlfriend who saw the bag said, “wow that has to be the […]
It was back in May that I talked about Yoono as a social media sidebar for firefox that had it all. You have the ability to clip web pages and photos (social bookmarking) and receive recommendations for new websites that you’ve never seen (discovery engine) and connect with your friends via the most popular social […]
I’m going to make a very bold statement. If Apple hadn’t developed boot camp when the Intel Mac was released, I’d be carrying around a Sony Vaio or Dell Inspiron notebook today. It’s completely true and I’m going to go over some things. First of all, I don’t give a crap what OS you run […]
New MacBooks and new Macbook Pros come out in less than 16 hours. Stop freaking speculating already. I don’t give a crap about part numbers, builds, price points, specs, CPU ratings, chip speeds, design, fabrication or who Steve Jobs hired to build the freaking computers. I don’t give a crap! So let’s just stop speculating […]
I love Loopt. It was on the iPhone at launch and had a rocky start but after the smoke cleared I found it to be a fun app. You could share your location with friends and when you update your location, a message was posted to Twitter and Facebook with a link to your exact […]
On the day that I finally reach 28 thousand tweets, Twitter released a new look to to their website. The main page, settings, profiles and even search features look completely new and TOTALLY AWESOME! Great work to the Twitter team for improving uptime, keeping users happy, moving to some brand new offices and redesigning the […]
This morning, I was doing my daily scan of Upcoming to see what events are going on in the bay area that are worth attending. Well, I saw this post: Did you ever want to chase Kevin down a busy street in San Francisco, or even better, appear on the cover of a national magazine […]
About 4 weeks ago, I posted a blog entry talking extensively about Adobe CS4 application information specifically regarding Adobe Bridge CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4 and a few other tidbits about Flash. Well, the general release date an Adobe Employee told me was around November. It looks like the cat is out of the bag. I […]
This email was sent to me by a friend: He simply made the subject line, “What it’s like to use Vista ” This actually is as inspiring as it is offensive and ignorant. This guy is still my friend but the email was pretty hurtful for a few reasons. The first is that the depiction […]
Our buddy Sam Levin over at App Minute took some amazing photos this weekend of glass art with his iPhone. I didn’t believe it at first until I saw that Flickr identified the camera as an iPhone. Quite amazing in my opinion. Sam Writes: I visited the Dale Chihuly Art Exhibit this past Friday at […]
Since moving to The iPhone 3G, I have expressed extreme displeasure with the device. The iPhone 2.0 software was slow, buggy and failed at everything that I wanted to do. I was telling everyone close to me that I was willing to trade my iPhone 3G for a Blackberry Curve or 8830 phone. That’s quite […]
Today was the release of iPhone’s 2.1 software from Apple. I just a few moments ago installed the update but my cutting edge girlfriend took the leap early this morning. Here’s a screenshot of her thoughts on the update after using it for 12 hours.
Fastmac sent us their new iV charging system and Liana and I tried to install the iPhone 3G in the unit but it wasn’t fitting. She tried her original iPhone but it didn’t fit due to the Invisible Shield that’s installed on her phone. When she tried removing the shield, after 9 months of having […]
Watching Steve Jobs’ “Let’s Rock” presentation from yesterday and I can’t help but notice that Steve is getting old. According to my calculations, he is only 53 years old but is certainly showing his age while presenting these products. Steve has always been a geek 2nd and a businessman first. Despite not being a total […]
Apple held a special event dubbed, “Let’s Rock” today at The Yuerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. I was going to attend the meeting but there were conflicts with scheduling but I didn’t miss much by not attending the event other than witnessing Steve’s awesome presentation skills. Steve took that stage at 10AM local time […]
