New MacBook Pros Tomorrow? [Update]
It looks like we may very well be blessed with new MacBook Pro updates tomorrow. Tomorrow actually is the kick off for MacWorld 2010, and even though Apple has decided not to participate anymore with the expo, it does appear that the company is using MacWorld to it’s advantage. MacWorld originally ran in early January, but was pushed back to February this year due to the continuous...

Why You Can Expect To NEVER See Flash on iPhone OS
I’m sure it’s something you’ve cursed Apple’s name for not adding with each update to iPhone OS. It’s an addition to your iPhone or iPod touch that would “complete” the device in your opinion. Yet, with each additional OS update (or product), Adobe’s Flash technology is missing. There’s a reason for this.
Flash is buggy. Really buggy....

Stevie Looks Like He's Feeling Better
MacDailyNews did a brief article on the missed report from the iPad announcement. I myself didn’t even think to notice, but it does look like he’s got some color back. It also looks like he gained some weight. I guess eating all that ice cream did him some good. And that’s good to see. Rumors did say that he had invested himself into the iPad, and if that’s helping him to...

End Of Day Thought: Scrolling
I use two Macs on a day-to-day basis. A iMac and MacBook (Aluminum Unibody). My iMac has multi-touch via the Magic Mouse. The MacBook has multi-touch via the glass trackpad. The Magic Mouse supports momentum scrolling. It is actually a very nice touch. If you used/have an iPhone or iPod touch, it means that the Magic Mouse scrolls on a Mac the same way that iPhone OS handles scrolling. You flick...

What you can expect about getting your broken iPad...
The iPad will be launching in late March. You want one, and I want one. Right now, the bliss of a new Apple product line is fogging your memory. A few months pass by, and your iPads touch screen stops being responsive. Or you think that it’s so “magical”, it can survive a dip in the pool. Breaking: It can’t. What happens when your $500+ investment breaks?
Apple will...

What Apple learned from the Jailbroken iPhone OS...
Well now. Don’t these two images look similar? On the left, we have the newly announced Apple iPad. On our right, a Jailbroken iPhone. It seems to me that as much as Apple despises Jailbreaking the overly controlled iPhone OS, they have gotten many ideas from those pesky-brilliant hackers. Some quick thoughts on ideas Apple borrowed from the jailbreak scene:

An Introduction
Why hello there friends of the internets. I’ve decided to start blogging my views and thoughts on Apple. I am an ex-Apple employee, working for the company for about 4 years. I worked at an undisclosed Apple Retail Store, and while that ride had its ups and downs, it ultimately ended in me leaving the company. Don’t get me wrong. I still admire Apple, and love their products. Yet...
