  • VMWare Fusion On Mac Delivers My Best Windows Experience Ever

    There’s something a little messed up when the most anticipated and intriguing application I’ve used on my new Intel-based MacBook Pro is one that lets me run Microsoft Windows, but it’s an absolute fact. 24 hours into my VMWare Fusion experience, I can easily say I’ve never been so excited to use Windows, to send e-mail from Outlook, to run Internet Explorer, or even rack up a new high score on Minesweeper. While I had already expected big things from Fusion, its ease of installation, display quality and application speed have me vowing to never be burdened with a non-Apple laptop again.

  • Amazon MP3 Walkthrough

    Amazon MP3

    Amazon recently launched a really great effort in the digital music arena called Amazon MP3. I’ve been a hardcore iTunes Store customer since it’s debut and haven’t really been tempted by other digital music stores. That is, until Amazon MP3 made its debut.

  • Dudes, It's AAPL, Not APPL!

    aapl_125I have a major pet peeve with people who constantly refer to Apple’s stock as “APPL” instead of its true stock ticker, “AAPL”. While it just might make more sense for it to be APPL, the truth is that it’s not. So when I see news media, stock promoters and others talk about whether Apple’s stock is too high, too low, or just right (to use Goldilocks terms…), and then follow it up with (NASDAQ: APPL), it drives me a little nutty. My feeling is that if you’re willing to spend over $160 a share on a stock, likely investing thousands of dollars, you should do a little research, and that starts with getting the stock ticker right.

    And in case you think I’m reacting to isolated incidents, let me assure you I’m not.

    For example:

    Fox News: October 4
    “…the Commonwealth Bank, has used the latest version of Apple’s (APPL) music player…”

    CNN/Dow Jones: October 4
    “…Paid downloads of Fox series also are available on Apple Inc.’s (APPL) iTunes…

    CNBC: October 2
    “I’ve made some serious fast money on some trades but haven’t pulled the trigger on some others. For example: Research In Motion (RIMM), NVIDIA (NVDA), EMC Corp (EMC), Blue Nile (NILE), & Apple (APPL)…”

    Barrons: October 1
    “That’s less lofty an earnings multiple than a pop star like Apple (APPL) boasts…”

    Investors Business Daily: September 28
    “Apple (APPL) issued a software update for its iPhones…”

    It’s practically an epidemic. Google reports the error as having occurred hundreds of times, even if you include the word NASDAQ. For a company worth nearly $150 billion at the end of market close today, it’s surprising to me that this kind of mistake continues to be made on a daily basis in otherwise outstanding business publications. Can you imagine if they started stating Microsoft’s ticker symbol as MFST or Google as GOG? Give Apple the respect it deserves, and get it right. It’s AAPL.

  • Idiot Alert: Man sues Apple for 'bricking' iPhone

    Where high profiles and high profits exist, so do the scum of the earth.

    First, Dongmei Li sues Apple for $1 million for chopping $200 off the iPhone. Apparently the $200 she “lost” when Apple dropped the price is now worth 5,000 times what it was a month ago.

    Now, Timoth Smith has filed a lawsuit against Apple for ‘bricking’ iPhones that have been unlocked. The ‘bricking’ he is referring to is in reference to an update Apple released that rendered many iPhones useless…specifically iPhones that had been hacked to work with other phone carriers.

    His lawsuit ultimately asserts that since Apple refuses to let users use other carriers, they are able to charge more than they would had they “been in a competitive marketplace.” Smith says that as a result of this lack of competition he “paid too much for the iPhone.”

    Mr. Smith, last I checked Apple in no way forced you to buy a single item from them. This is a free country and you made the choice to get out of bed, walk your sue-happy butt in to the Apple store and drop some cash on a new phone. You then go and hack it to use other phone carriers outside of who Apple says the phone will work with and now you’re ticked that your phone, gasp, doesn’t work? Get over yourself. Learn some self-control and don’t buy a phone that doesn’t do what you want it to do.
