Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Multimedia , Podcasting Last week provided a lot of legal fun for Apple, complete with news of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sending a letter to the company asking for information about the removal of the Google Voice app from the App Store, and word that upstart Mac cloner Psystar has retained a new law firm. Meanwhile, over at the hallowed halls of the U.S. Patent Office, things were afoot that could cause even more problems for not only Apple, but most of the personal computing world.

AdAge is reporting on the aftermath of Microsoft COO Kevin Turner gloating about getting a call from Apple’s lawyers asking them to stop running the ‘Laptop Hunters’ Mom/Lauren ad because it inaccurately represented Apple’s pricing. Guess what: Microsoft has since run an altered version of the ad. In the original, Lauren (not that Lauren ) is after a laptop with “…speed, portability and battery life for under $1,700.” Here you go, Lauren . While shopping, she says, “This Mac is $2,000, and that’s before adding anything.” In the current version, she simply says “It seems like you’re paying a lot for the brand,” but mentions no actual price.
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , OS , Software , Odds and ends , Developer Sunday night on the Talkcast we were talking about sync apps for mobile devices — the latest iTunes update blocked the Palm Pre from identifying as an iPod in iTunes, and we were lamenting the fact that Pre users would have to go back to using Palm’s app again. Blackberry users are likewise forced to sync with one hand tied behind their backs: the Blackberry Desktop app up until now has only been available for Windows, and users on OS X have been recommended PocketMac for Blackberry , a third-party product. But now RIM has finally announced that they’re bringing the Blackberry Desktop app to the Mac — it’ll be available this September, and will offer all of the functionality you’d expect: syncing of calendars, contacts, and notes and tasks, app management, and the usual device updating and so on. There are screenshots on the official blog, and boy does that thing look like iTunes, all the way down to the sidebar menu, memory usage bar, and even the Music syncing screen

12 Jul 2009Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Tips and tricks , Security In my previous article about wireless security , I discussed some simple steps and precautions you could take when using wireless networks to prevent casual would-be attackers from obtaining your personal information. Several of you were quick to point out that, even with WPA encryption enabled, you are still vulnerable to different types of threats. Sadly, the very nature of what makes the Internet work also opens the door for several avenues of attack

5 Jul 2009Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Hardware , Odds and ends , Apple Financial , iPhone TG Daily (via Fortune ) is reporting that Japanese market research company BCN’s latest rankings of cellphone sales in Japan are showing that Apple’s smartphone is the the current market leader in that country. I did a quick check at BCN this afternoon while writing this post, and the iPhone 3GS 32GB is listed in first place in sales (see screenshot at right), with the iPhone 3GS 16GB in second place. The 3GS was just introduced in Japan on June 26th, and the sales figures are from the week of June 22 – 28. BCN’s source of data includes point-of-sale information from many of Japan’s largest electronics retailers, including Amazon Japan, Eiden, Bic Camera, K’s Denki, and Best Denki.
The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.
