Flash And Quicktime: Not Sitting In A Tree Comments 4 Comments

February 13th, 2008 , , ,

In a recent piece, News Flash: No Flash, John Gruber writes that he finds it unlikely for Flash to appear on the iPhone any time soon. He’s right, as usual, but he’s got a few details wrong.

The single most popular thing people use Flash for is to watch YouTube videos, which you can already watch a subset of using the native Mobile OS X YouTube app. In short, is the lack of Flash keeping people from buying iPhones and iPod Touches?

Right, but wrong. Video is great, but the coming battle won’t be about video. I dare predict that Apple has a dirty secret in their pocket, a secret that’s ready to explode. A secret that’ll bring them head to head (more so) with Adobe, Microsoft and Mozilla. Possibly even Sony and Nintendo.


Reeling From Sidereel Comments 5 Comments

January 25th, 2008 , ,

Sidereel.com is the discovery of the month. It’s a website that gathers links to TV-shows hosted on a plethora of video services all over the web. While it looks legal, however, I’m pretty sure it’s not. But it should be.


Gestures Is The New Black Comments Comment

Multi-touch trackpad. For me, that was the most interesting aspect of the just-announced-days-ago Apple Macbook Air. Unlike normal trackpads, a multi-touch trackpad also accepts input from two or more fingers. Before, you could only point, now you can pinch, swipe and turn; any gesture that requires more than one digit (or person).


In The Market For A Mac Mini Comments 19 Comments

December 30th, 2007 , ,

My current PC is in it’s autumn. It’s long-term memory has started clicking and it sometimes dozes off when it should be awake. I built the damn thing myself. Or rather, bribed my cousin to do it for me. Limbs were ordered seperately and surgically put together in a fashion similar to that of Frankensteins [...]


iTunes Is The New Real Player Comments 20 Comments

November 22nd, 2007 , ,

I’ve been extremely happy with my iPod Shuffle. It is a fantastic device. Much to my sadness, though, the Shuffle is a package deal: you can only transfer music to the iPod using the bundled iTunes media player. Is that bad? Well, yeah, because iTunes is the new Real Player.


Really Quick Thoughts On The New Apple Desktop Look Comments 5 Comments

June 11th, 2007 , , ,

Leopard Desktop Apple just redesigned their website. Along with that, they’ve released a few videos of Leopard, the next version of OSX.

Some interesting pieces from the desktop videodespises the dock. In any case, it looks like Apple really shines with their incremental improvements. Still no fullscreen, though.

Safari for Windows - No Really! It’s Not WebKit! Comments 15 Comments

June 11th, 2007 , ,

From the “what the hell” department comes this: Safari 3 Public Beta. For Windows.

I’ll just make a linebreak and let that one sink in.

There. Now: what’s up with this? Is it an attempt to sway Windows users of iTunes? Is it a gift to web-developers hungry for developing crossplatform sites? Is it part of a bigger and currently veiled plan to enter the RIA (Adobe AIR, Microsoft Silverlight, Firefox 3 Offline Apps) market? Or is it trying to compete with IE7 and Firefox? Please, somebody tell me!
