Boingboing report that Steve Wozniak liked the sight of a Dell Mini 9 running Apple OS X. Matthew P wrote:

Got to briefly meet Steve Wozniak as he was doing some press for Dancing with the Stars. I showed him my Dell Mini 9 with OS X Leopard installed on it (and an Apple sticker sloppily applied over the Dell logo.

He said, “Oh my god, that is so COOL!”

And: “Is that really the color you wanted?”

Then he graciously signed it. I then ran away and giggled for about 45 minutes.

Steeve Wozniak no longer “work” for Apple (even do se still remains an employee (and receives a paycheck)) but is regarded as one of the most influent contributor the the Apple platform beside Steve Jobs. In 1970, Wozniak had become friends with Steve Jobs, when Jobs had a summer job at the same business where Wozniak was working on a mainframe computer.

On April 1, 1976, Jobs and Wozniak formed Apple Computer. In 1980, Apple went public and made Jobs and Wozniak multimillionaires. However, Jobs refused to allow some members of Apple to receive stock options, so Wozniak decided to share some of his options with the rest of the team by either giving it away for free or at a heavily discounted price. This was dubbed “The Woz Plan”.

I wonder what Steve Jobs think of OS X on a Dell mini. Somehow I doubt he would say the same thing!

This Dell Mini 9 will probably be worth a fortune on eBay… but just don’t say that OS X is installed on the thing or eBay will pull it

If you have been looking for live news coverage on the iPhone then the wait is almost over. Livestation have decommissioned the current version of their iPhone beta application. The reason is that they have a new version which will come out early this week with a number of very important improvements.

They are now very close to being able to release to the Apple App store (if accepted). They had to switch the servers to the new code base and will require a couple of days of testing to enable them to release the new version to the beta testers.
