Make Snow Leopard and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Play Nice
After upgrading my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard I noticed that Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection would no longer allow me to connect to my machine running Windows Vista. My first reaction was to do what every self-respecting interweb guru does when something goes awry—hit up Google. After spending about 5 hours trying every potential solution [...]
24 Hour iPhone App Challenge
After getting my feet wet with iPhone and Objective-C development, I decided early Tuesday morning to issue myself the following challenge: Create an iPhone application and submit it to Apple in 24 hours or less. The result of this challenge is Inferno. The screen should be self explanatory. I thought I’d layout a general timeline [...]
Exchange Server for the Rest of Us?
After Apple’s unveiling of MobileMe, touted as Exchange for the rest of us, I started wondering about the possibility of a potentially much more disruptive angle that Apple could take with the service(s). What if Apple included all of the backend bits that power MobileMe into the next or some future version of Mac OS [...]
WWDC Predictions Recap
Time to see how I did with my WWDC 2008 predictions. Here goes: 3G iPhone Prediction: Although most “experts” seem to think this is a foregone conclusion, I can actually envision a reality where SJ does not give us new iPhone. For some reason, I just have this feeling that it’s not going to happen. [...]

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference gets started tomorrow morning and the interwebs has been buzzing for some time now about Steve Job’s keynote to kick things off. Rumors have been flying furiously for weeks now about a new iPhone with 3G capabilities to complement the new [...]
Possible Fix for iPhone Battery Problems
Having upgrading my original 1.0.2 version iPhone all the way up to version 1.1.4 and stopping at 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 along the way, I noticed that the battery really seemed to drain much faster in versions 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 than it had using previous versions of the software. I was perusing the hacktin0sh forums [...]
The Morning After (Macworld)
After digesting yesterday’s Stevenote, I decided to go way back—all the way to Christmas day—and revisit my predictions for the big event. Now, I’m not one to toot my own horn; and certainly a lot of what I predicted was already being buzzed about by the usual suspects. However, I do have to say I [...]
What’s Left For Macworld?
This year was quite a busy one for Uncle Steve and the rest of his crew. Typically, this time of year finds Apple fan boys like myself salivating over what new hotness SJ will bestow upon us at the annual Macworld Expo. Other than an ultraportable notebook and iTunes movie rentals, I’ve not yet seen [...]
Leopard Reaction
I was fortunate enough to snag a copy of Leopard on Friday. After a quick (less than 30 minutes if I recall correctly) upgrade I was up and running. My initial thoughts are that this is one bad operating system and by bad I mean really good. Below are just a few of the things [...]
