OSX shredded to bits my network iTunes music library
August 19, 2008
Image by MagnusK via Flickr OK, I am not just mad… I am really really really MAD! It is the 1st time I find myself hating Apple OS X. Why? Simple, it partially destroyed my music library that I access over an smb share!
What happen? I seriously can’t beleive that it actually happen in such a silly dumb way! I mean, who the hell is the Apple engineer that coded this stupid behavior! I am not sure what to blame yet… the finder, the trash feature, both? Maybe it is the desktop “finder” feature… but one thing for sure it has to change.
I can’t beleive I am the 1st one running into this nasty bug. Any way, here is how it happen. Let me know if you think it is my fault or the OS because I can’t see how I could blame myself for getting to this point.
Secret Apple product is a thin margin Mac Tablet?
July 22, 2008
Image via WikipediaMacDailyNews source — the same one who tipped them to wireless iTunes Store sales direct to iPod, iPhone a week before Apple debuted it — report:
Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.
This is just a rumor… but darn, Apple, stop bringing those great products out or I will go broke! Better get those extra overtime hours going to prep for this!

Apple angry at Rogers iPhone 3G plan
July 8, 2008
Image via WikipediaSorry folks, not much Joost news those days… so I will keep covering topics that are of interest to me. Hope you don’t mind.
Apparently Apple has been telling it’s Canadian stores not to sell the glorious 3G Phone this friday July 11th 2008! This is really a major blow to Rogers. Again, thank’s to rogers we must be the only ones with Apple stores that won’t sell the iPhone this coming friday (out of all the country where the iPhone is made available)!
All this thank’s to Rogers silly iPhone plans! Apple is apparently taking some serious notes about the 50,000 name petition at ruinedipgone.com. Apparently they do not want the Apple brand name to be tarnish by associating to a 3 year contract binding of Rogers Canada. Apple know that 3 year contract is not in it’s customers interest… so it won’t sell the iPhone tied to a Rogers contract in it’s store! Take this Rogers!
Seriously, a 3year contract is unaceptable. And those little 400MB base plans with not unlimited options is retarded. Come to your sens and at leas offer a two year contract with a fair priced unlimited data plan will you?

Steve, force unlimited data plan on every iPhone provider!
June 29, 2008
There could be an easy way to fix this mess up in Canada between Rogers and the outraged potential Apple iPhone 3G customers… force every providers to offer unlimited data plans. Wouldn’t it make sense?
Think about it! The iPhone 3G is all about fast data access rivaling WiFi, new applications download capabilities, push mail/contacts/meetings, geo location. Without an unlimited data plan all this pretty much becomes futile. Who want to worry all the time that the new app they just installed will drain their data plan limit and cost them 10,000$ at the end of the month? This might very well happen if you use an iPhone 3G in Canada. Read more
Rogers iPhone 3G plan is so… junk, useless, gouging
June 28, 2008
Rogers Canada finally unveiled it’s iPhone 3G plan. It would have better kept it in the garbage can if you ask me! What is it with Canadian cellular phone carier? Are they gouging Canadians or not? I mean, the iPhone 3G is all about fast internet browsing, being connected all the time, staying connected all the time, installing applications from the app store over the air, downloading iTunes songs over the air, watching Youtube video and god knows what else is to come.
But Rogers in their great Canadian greed have decided to cap data plan on their most expansive plan (115$) at a miserable 2GB! And let not even talk of the entry plan for 60$… 400MB! OMG! I would constantly be worried that I would exceed the data plan limit by simply leaving the phone on!
Rogers, it must be nice to have the monopoly of the iPhone 3G! What happen to your 7$ all you can eat data plan on Fido? Are you affraid people would install some VoIP software to escape your silly voice plan? I guess you might be! Don’t tell me those data bits are costing you a terrible amount of money! We all know it is not true!
I will tell you one thing: I will not be getting an iPhone any time soon! Rogers, I would have bought one on July 11th if you had offered a 30$ all you can eat data plan… but don’t count on it anymore! OK!
Thank you Rogers for making Canadians #1! Longest lock-in contract in the world (3 years) and most expansive plan in the world! There is one thing I am sure… you won’t sell nearly as much as other carriers in other country per capita! You really know how to make a good technology a bad choice!

Is Apple Price Gouging Early iPod Touch Adopters
June 20, 2008
I am one of those happy early iPod Touch adopters. I went and bought my unit the day it came in stock at Best Buy. Ever since I have not stopped carrying my iPod Touch all around with me.
The unit, just like the iPhone, is small enough to be carried all day long in my pants front pocket. I carry all my contacts on it, all my calandar events, pictures, music and TV shows. I use it so much that I have left behind my Windows mobile smartphone to switch back to a smaller Nokia flip phone that does a better job of being a phone.
When Apple released the iPod Touch upgrade for $20.00 to bring the applications on par with the iPhone I updated mine the day it went live on iTunes. I was not happy of paying $20.00 especially that new iPod Touch would come bundled with the update soon after…
None the less I have been happy until Apple announced at WWDC 2008 that current iPod Touch owners will be able to upgrade to the version 2 of the OS for $9.99. OK, so how is this going to work exactly? Will Apple allow 1st wave iPod Touch to be upgraded to the 2.0 version for $9.99 even if they have not paid the original $20.00… or will they charge $29.99 for it? Read more
Will Rogers force iPhone 3G purchase with 3 year plan?
June 10, 2008
Image via Wikipedia
It is not clear yet it Rogers will allow customers to purchase iPhone 3G at full retail value (well above 199$) and then do month by month contract for voice and unlimited data plan.
If Rogers follow the lead of AT&T it might not be possible. Here is a section of a rumored internal memo sent to AT&T managers detailing the rules regarding iPhone 3G contract requirements:
All customers will be required to sign a 2-year agreement. There will not be a “no commitment” price for the iPhone 3G.
Note: When the 3G device launches, all active postpaid customers in good standing with a 2G iPhone will be eligible to receive the qualified upgrade pricing for a 3G device regardless of service tenure. (Customers that would not otherwise be eligible due to tenure will be made eligible at launch).
It was reported that Rogers might be opting for a 3 year iPhone subscription. I was hoping to pay more (like 399$) for the device and avoid the creepy 3 year sing with your blood contract.
3 years! This is silly madness! I am sure Apple will come up with the iPhone version 3 within 2 years! I don’t want no stinky 3 years contract! This is maddening! I really hope this 3 year contract rumor is false… and if it is true Rogers better allow me to buy the device outright and offer no contract commitment options.

Mac Nano to be Mac Fusion
June 9, 2008
TUAW (they are a great bunch) report that:
On WWDC Eve, we at TUAW are hard at work keeping an eye out for the unknown and unexpected. We just received a tip showing what appears to be the Mac Nano computer that we’ve all wanted — and it looks to be aimed towards the developer crowd.
The pictures appear to show a Mac geared towards developers on Windows and Linux systems. “Leave Windows behind. Build your Apps for OS X” states the title. While we are extremely cautious about rumors like these right before WWDC, we did have a rumor that a “new Mac” or at least an updated Mac might be released.
So, would this be the possible Mac Nano? It certainly does look like it. No specifications other that it be a Core2Duo based system is readable.
