Microsoft road show for Office 2008 coming to town {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 7th 2008 9:45AM That's brave.
I don't know what the general consensus is on Office 08, but I've never been more disappointed in a software package, ever. I can't be alone --- Microsoft is going to have fun with this "Q&A" session, depending on how honest they allow it to be.
My complaints are that Office 08 is very buggy, terribly slow (often slower than Office 04 in Rosetta!), and -- despite my hopes -- has a UI that's actually worse than 04, and falls far short of 2007 on the PC.
IMO, the Office 2007 UI on PC is magical and awesome. I can't understand why Mac BU didn't take this opportunity to further unify the Mac & PC versions of Office with the same UI... I'd have loved to have a Mac-native clone of Office 07. Instead, they gave us a clunky, slow Cocoa/Intel version of Office 04 with a UI that's gone backwards in usability (Excel plotting anyone?).
Ah well, thank goodness for VMWare Fusion w/ Unity. :-)
Poll: How long have you been subscribed to pay-HDTV service? {Engadget HD}
Mar 28th 2008 2:36PM Basic/expanded cable only... I'm quite satisfied for now with getting my 5 local channels in HD for free via Clear QAM.
Chair to bring Ender's Game to the XBLA {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Jan 29th 2008 1:56PM Oh boy. This could be really great.
How on earth has there never been an Ender's Game game?
The missing iPhone e-mail feature {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 19th 2008 4:45PM I don't find myself wanting a double-pane view, as the n-line preview function serves just as well.
However, as someone with 6 eMail accounts, I desperately need a 'unified' inbox. That, or at least some way to reduce the **6 TAPS** that are required to go from an eMail in one Inbox to another eMail in a different account's Inbox.
TUAW Tutorial: Custom Stack Drawer icons {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 16th 2007 4:57PM 1) Wow. After two years of reading TUAW, I finally noticed and came to understand the logo. There's a "T", a "U",an "A", and a "W" in there. Interesting.
2) I can't get copying a graphic and pasting into Get Info to work fully for me in Leopard. Sure, it works enough to look nice in the stack, but this procedure doesn't seem to apply the 512x512 size graphic to the item. View the item in Cover Flow, and drag Cover Flow to be really large. You'll just see a big black box.
One then asks: after creating a real *.icns file using Icon Composer in the Developer Tools -- clearly with all 5 sizes --, how do you apply *this* to an item without copying/pasting into Get Info?
Reported Seagate drive failures may affect Mac laptops {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 7th 2007 4:24PM Let's hope Apple acknowledges this: My MBP is on its fourth hard drive in 8 months.
New iTunes hints at iPhone disk use and voice memos? {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2007 8:58AM How many times does the Mac/iPhone/Tech media need to be reminded that these strings are just copied/pasted in large chunks from those belonging to other devices?!
Just like the strings regarding synchronizing games to Apple TVs, these ones about manally managing music and Voice Memos come straight from the iPod blocks.
Just compare these 4320 block strings to the 4300 block strings for iPods. Identical.
Can we stop spreading these rumors? Please?

Pink and Blue controllers available for purchase {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Oct 2nd 2007 2:37PM I vote for a separately-sold army green model to match the controller included with the Halo 3 edition console.
Tada! The 6th Gen contract-free WiFi-enabled iPod {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 2nd 2007 10:55PM Now try restoring it. Do you have to go through this each time you reload or upgrade the system software?
