iDVD - black sheep of the iLife suite {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 26th 2009 1:24PM I'm not sure if I've tried to make a DVD with iLife 09 yet (probably not), but iDVD has always been a buggy POS in every version. I don't get it. It seems so much simpler than the other apps, and yet it's an embarrassment of instability, and all the other apps work fine.
WWDC Demo: Harbor Master {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 26th 2009 3:50AM I'm a little bit hooked. For some reason it seems a little easier than Flight Control, even though you also have to worry about getting the ships back out safely. My high score is currently 74.
Apple: Paranoid {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 23rd 2009 4:01PM Yeah, I think out of all of it, the lack of soft-touch paint is the one that had me most disappointed! I was looking forward to using it case-free.
Apple: Paranoid {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 23rd 2009 2:00PM We did know about all the features, but I recall that for every real feature there were at least as many that were seriously reported that turned out not to be true (front-facing camera, 5MP rear camera, light-up Apple, FM radio, etc.), so it's not as much of a surprise that some of them were correct.
Also, the 3GS is an incremental upgrade to an existing product. People who like to snoop around know what to look for -- what kind of processors, RAM and screen purchases they should be looking for from major vendors to indicate Apple is gearing up for production. If Apple were to unleash something completely new and super-secret, that kind of evidence would be harder to identify.
And maybe it's just me, but working on a product so cool that it had to be kept under black covers and red warning lights sounds pretty awesome. So long as they're not firing people without reason, of course.
Spaced: How Apple gives blog writers apoplexy {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 23rd 2009 1:52PM Well thank God. I've been calling it the 3GS because 3G S is a really stupid spelling for a product and probably plays havoc with search engines trying to find that model, and not the 3G or the letter S.
3G S application that Apple forgot to mention: dog whistle {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 22nd 2009 6:35PM Exactly. I for one am glad that for the last 4 days I've been enjoying the new features and faster speeds of the 3GS, and would never have noticed this noise until I read about it here.
I definitely think I got the better end of the deal compared to any bitter poster who is grabbing at straws for an excuse to tell everyone how cool he/she is for NOT having the 3GS.

Jun 22nd 2009 4:57PM Oh yeah, I hear it now. I didn't when playing and stopping music, but I do when I shut the screen off.
Damage control: AT&T denies $55 tethering charge rumor {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 19th 2009 6:30PM I never believed it was "$55 on top of" the data plan. I fully buy that it's a $55 data plan including tethering, which is cheaper than other phones.

Jun 19th 2009 5:38PM OMG thank you! This was my biggest disappointment with the new phone. TUAW to the rescue!
