You gotta think that it’s a no-brainer that Apple will be making the iPhone’s FaceTime video conferencing compatible with the Mac via iChat. Sure, iPhone to iPhone FaceTime chats should boost sales of the iPhone 4, but with most Macs coming with video cameras, this feature has to come sooner rather than later.

Looking for an iPhone app to create panoramas? Here are three to check out. Pano. Snap a picture, turn a bit, line up the guide, snap the next pic, you get the idea. Sometimes lining up the transparent guide is tough, especially in bright sunlight, but the end results are worth it! Here are a [...]

You can now apply for a free case to fix the possible antenna issue with Apple’s iPhone 4. You have to download and install the iPhone 4 Case Program app from iTunes to get started. There’s a limited selection of free cases, mainly in Steve-Jobs-turtleneck black color. Of course, Apple’s basic bumper is available. Here [...]

At the D8 conference, Steve Jobs talked many things including the challenges for the AppleTV (and any other set top box). Sounds so straightforward, and I’m hoping Apple has a solution. And add to your vocabulary the word “Balkanize:” to break up (as a region or group) into smaller and often hostile units

Gotta love Apple and its run on the stock market. As of yesterday, “Apple’s business was worth $200 billion and Microsoft’s was worth $197 billion.” Climb AAPL, climb!

Have you seen Apple’s new marketing campaign called Why You’ll Love a Mac? Gone are the humorous adventures of Mac and PC, replaced by these factoids that explain why you’ll love a Mac. Kinda on the boring side, but it lays out the Mac advantages quicker than watching numerous videos of John Hodgman and Justin [...]

While doing basic edits on a movie using iMovie 09, I got this useless error, “Alert, Error Occurred” while trying to upload to YouTube. That’s it, no reason or error codes. Searching for these terms though, I did find the culprit in this Apple Discussion forum. Re-enter your YouTube account credentials, possibly using your YouTube-associated [...]

Mashable posted this cool infographic about the iPod revolution. Some interesting facts… for me, my spending on music has increased with the ubiquity of an iPod and iTunes.

What advice did Steve Jobs give to Nike’s president, Mark Parker? “Get rid of the crappy stuff.” Just do it!

This week’s Time magazine features great, well-written articles about Steve Jobs and the introduction of the iPad. I love these two quotes: Once upon a time, there was a very rich, very clever man. He got up on a big stage and held up a new kind of computer. It was flat, and it didn’t [...]

Apple’s new iPad is now officially iconic, making the opening act in music’s biggest night at the Grammy’s. Steven Colbert’s opening skit has okay, but then he pulled out a functioning iPad, and yes, even the music celebrities paid attention. Update: added video.

Pee Wee Herman is back and look what happens when he supposedly gets an iPad from Steve Jobs himself. Pee-wee Gets An iPad! from Pee-wee Herman That multitasking globe is a hoot!

So Apple finally unleashed its tablet with the iPad. Despite it’s funky name, the device is very cool and is set to revolutionize this developing mobile space. At an aggressive price point starting at $499, who’s not getting an iPad? That would be me. Although an Apple fan boy at heart, I’m not totally convinced [...]

Who will be the first designer to offer up a mock simulation of the scene at the Apple Event where the iPad was introduced? I’m talking about bundling that iChair with that iTable, and maybe a bottle of that iWater with purchase of an iPad.

Forget the iPad. Who makes that iChair used in the Apple Event presentation? Surefire sales!

Boo to that name. Where’s Canvas? And I guess you know that I have a weak mind and couldn’t resist watching.

In a few minutes, Apple’s special event is going to start with Steve Jobs announcing the McGraw-Hill announced tablet. Biggest question for me is do I “watch” the event unfold online or simply wait. Many, many sites offer live updates and tweets covering the event, but it’s maddening refreshing a bunch of web sites or [...]

Macworld has a list of potential names for Apple’s forthcoming tablet. From their list, I like “Canvas”. It’s already spreading around the Net about the CEO of McGraw-Hill spilling some beans about Apple’s product announcement tomorrow. I’m still hoping for some kind of tethering or MiFi-like wireless sharing for the iPhone and Canvas combo. I [...]

Here’s a convincing article about what Apple could be announcing as part of their Special Event next week. How Apple uses its buyout of LaLa and its rumored plan to reshape the digital music ownership landscape sounds very Apple-esque. Leave it to Steve Jobs to change the game.
