iPhone SDK announcement: March 6th

 
Apple today announced that they will be holding a press announcement, showing exactly what they’ve been putting into the SDK for the iPhone and the iPod touch. The enterprise bit in the image looks promising though. I’m looking forward to it.

Lego Mp3 players: I smell a lawsuit.

 
I recognize the headphones from somewhere, i don’t know where. The MP3 player looks good, but the lawsuits smell great, Apple and Lego could go nuts over this thing. I’d still buy one though :] 
 

New Macbook and Macbook Pro models

 
Well, looks like it’s Tuesday again, Apple’s shop went down for a bit today and they updated the Macbook and Macbook Pro, with new penryn processors and more storage, otherwise they’re pretty much the same as the previous sku.
The macbook pro now has a multitouch trackpad, the low end macbook still only has a combo [...]

The Government in the UK does not understand P2P

Seeing as the Labour government of the UK are seeking to push through laws requiring ISPs to shape the packets of anyone on their network, irrespective of what they’re doing over p2p, I feel I have the right to say they’re idiots. P2P and bittorrent in particular is needed in so many applications (skype, joost, [...]

Starbucks + Desktops?

The Starbucks staff never gave us any trouble at all. In fact, it didn’t seem like it occurred to them that the three computer users might have known each other. One employee walked by me and laughed. I asked him what was going on and he pointed at the three computer users and declared, “They [...]

Sony updates its digital point-and-shoots

Sony seems to have point and shoot cameras all wrong right now, making their cameras with a decent lens (supplied via Zeiss), decent styling and easy to use software, the only thing they’re doing wrong is appealing to the people who look at megapixels over image quality (yes i know you’ll get an A1 print [...]

The XO is greener than Greenpeace

It’s practically powered by your own positive thoughts, this video shows just how good it is. The cold facts shown in the video just show how efficient it is and how much is beats “standard” laptops. 

I really want one of these things to play with, but I’ve got no idea what they’d actually be useful [...]

In obvious news; The iMac will get a processor upgrade with the Macbooks

 
9-5Mac seems to think that the iMac will get a processor/motherboard upgrade with the rev to Penryn processors. Seeing as the iMac is built around the same chipset as the Macbook Pro, it kind of makes sense. One thing i’ll be looking for is if they’ll have blu-ray drives as an option on all higher [...]

iPhone SDK delayed?

 
A lot of sources are running on news that Apple is delaying the iPhone SDK for a few weeks, the same thing they did to the AppleTV. I call bullshit. Apple’s got an event planned for the end of the month as far as I’ve heard and that’s where it’ll be announced (and hopefully the new [...]
