A great birthday present : Pixelmator
Today the long anticipated Pixelmator image editing application for the Mac was released, and for me it is quite a birthday present. For a long time I have used Photoshop which was too complicated for my needs, or Photoshop Elements which was just too windows like. Pixelmator the product of London Brothers Saulius and Aidas …
AppleWorks the end at last..
I loved Appleworks ( previously know as Clarisworks) and it has been finally retired with the addition of the numbers spreadsheet to Apples iWork suite. Not sure where the MacDraw like drawing application replacement is but never mind. The long life of Claris/Applework is both a reflection on the perceived dominance of Microsoft Office and …
Would you join the line for an iPhone
Well clearly a rhetorical question if you don’t live in the US, but I might for the experience. What do I mean, well you meet a different type of person than in your average supermarket line, case in point Robert Scoble reports on meeting Bill Atkinson in the line outside the Palo Alto Apple Store. …
Even Macheads talk LBS now
Happy listening to the Macbreak Weekly podcast today, and was surprised to hear a really good discussion on the potential of LBS, PND’s and the rumour that Apple may be developing a standalone GPS device – unlikely methinks.

“Not too shabby, is it..”
I want one on these… but can I really wait a year !! Interesting that one of the main apps chosen by Steve Jobs to demonstrate the Apple phone was Google Maps !! Wifi, Bluetooth, iPod functionality, and very useful mobile browser based on Safari, and of course a user interface to die for.. Very, …
MacWorld Expo – First cool thing…Geophoto
A few hours before the keynote and already the PR pieces are flowing, little detail yet but Geophoto from Ovolab looks interesting, a iPhoto related tool for managing your images geographically on a globe. I still think Apple may thinking along similar lines themselves… remember that in October hackers found references to GPS within the …
What the iPhone might mean for LBS ?
According to almost everybody on the internet, at 10am PST on the 9th January next year, at the Moscone Center Steve Jobs will introduce the iPhone, perhaps one of the most anticipated products ever from Apple. There is much speculation as to what the phone will look like and its functionality, and this tends to …
