Evernote Revisited: Perfect DIY Companion
Back in early March, I revisited Fluid for OS X. Today I'm making the rounds with old software friends again, this time with Evernote. I tried Evernote when it first came out for Mac, and again when the iPhone version arrived, but neither took hold in my daily workflow. Now I'm trying again.
I Want My, I Want My iPhone OS 4
Apple is holding a media event at 10am Pacific time on Thursday, April 6 to discuss the latest release of its mobile OS. We'll know soon enough what it will include, but that won't stop me from making my own wishlist for what we'll see on Thursday.

How I Migrated My Mac Life Into the Cloud
Since deciding that a move to the cloud was needed for my lifestyle, I have migrated much of my Mac life there. Here are a few of the key ways I made this happen.

I Took It Off and I Feel Fine
I've got both a case and screen protector on my iPhone 3GS, and I used cases and screen protectors for the original iPhone and iPhone 3G as well. But I threw caution to the wind and tore those off.

Not in Line or Waiting on UPS for Your iPad? I Feel Your Pain
Despite being an Apple fanatic, I'm not waiting in line to buy an iPad this morning, nor am I anxiously awaiting my friendly, brown-attired delivery specialist to arrive with one today.

Which iPad I’m Ordering and Why
It’s a little after 6AM Eastern on Friday, March 12 as I write this post. In a little over 2 hours from now, the Apple Store will officially take orders for all iPad models, apparently with the ability to specify pickup at a local store. As of this writing store is down, though it wasn’t...
Revisiting Fluid
I first used Fluid, the site-specific browser creation tool for Mac OS X, a long time ago. But I didn’t find it compelling enough to integrate it into my daily life, in part because virtually all of my digital life still lived on the desktop. As I personally moved more and more to the cloud, it...
Multitasking is Overrated
Perhaps the strongest criticism of the iPhone has been that it doesn’t support multitasking, aside from a few of Apple’s own system level applications that are included on the device and can’t be deleted. Yet the iPhone sells like hotcakes, and Apple has a technical solution that essentially accomplishes the same thing, called background notifications....
The Beginning of the End for Jobs
I finally got around to watching the stream of Wednesday’s iPad announcement at about 11:30 local time last night. Of course, I couldn’t wait until the bitter end to go to bed, and falling asleep was a bit challenging even at that late hour. After a short but good night’s rest, I awoke with a...
Who Will Buy an iPad?
The debate is raging. Man, that’s a wide bezel! How could they possibly leave out support for Flash? Where’s the front-facing video camera? AT&T? Are you serious? Now that the dust has begun to settle on Apple’s announcement of the iPad, though, there’s another nagging question that only time can answer. Who, exactly, will buy an...
The New Subsidy
It didn’t really surprise me in December when I learned that Google was buying AdMob, the leading mobile advertising platform. I was surprised, however, to learn that Apple had been in the discussions and possibly even lost a competitive bidding process. Why? Apple doesn’t make many acquisitions, and when it does, they tend to be...
