WriteRoom - Uncluttered writing environment for internet induced late onset ADHD suffers whose short attention spans can’t cope with regular word processors. Has been my saviour in 2008 and will get a work out in 2009.

Poladroid - It makes digital polaroids out of regular digital photos. How is that not the most excellent thing ever?

Fontcase - A neat new font management application. Still in beta but is already worthy of being downloaded.

NewsFire - All rss readers are basic and easy to use. But now that my Google Reader is so bloated with over 1000 rss feeds that I just “mark all as read” most days, I like being able to read the 50 or so rss feeds which I like for personal enjoyment offline via NewsFIre.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. - Steve Jobs

This commencement address is still one of the best speeches to go to to straighten your thinking for so many situations in life.

While I wouldn’t ask any self-respecting man to give up his love for a beautiful pair of breasts, there’s something awfully creepy about grown men who can’t walk along Plage de Tahiti in Saint Tropez without gawking like pubescent boys.

Since Apple is to geeks what breasts are to men, it’s worth pointing out that all of the Apple fanboys are essentially those pubescent boys.

I’ve glossed over all tumblr posts, rss feeds and tweets about Apple from the last 12 or so hours. I love and use Apple just as much as the next bloke but the sycophantic behaviour by normally rational people gets tiring especially when those who inevitably come down from their own uber hyped expectations have a dopamine crash with blogged tears and disappointment.

In one week, after the heart palpitations have stopped, erections have subsided and y’all have got over the grief of Steve Jobs not including a cure for cancer in the latest iPhone can someone send me an email which wraps up the Apple news from today which contains the benefit of perspective? Thnxkbye.

Right, so my iMac “crashed” before. Which is a) specifically why I gave up my lifelong love affair with PCs, and b) one of the scariest things that has ever happened.

This ‘curtain’ lowered across the screen, dimming everything in its wake, then this multilingual big button with the power symbol behind it popped up and said “YOU NEED TO TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER”.

Did it really crash, or was it just trying to tell me something? Help!

When it crashes like that it is called a Kernel Panic. Is probably just a memory issue caused by running too many programs or faulty ram or something went fubar because of other hardware that is plugged in. If you search “panic.log” on your computer the error log should give you an indication of what caused it. If it’s faulty ram or not enough ram for what you’re using the computer for and it keeps on crashing then it’s best to take it to your Apple dealer to sort it out.

It’s a motherfucking Mac-off: @lonelysandwich I still have my eWorld user guide, replete with floppies. (I suspect this is a contest where there are only losers.)

I remember loading eWorld onto my LC575 back in 1996. Ahhhh…good times.

I’ll only fuck girls who own a Mac Pro with dual displays, a Macbook Air and an iPhone. I know that people have to have standards but nowdays being a Apple user has such a low barrier to entry. Everyone seems to have at least one Mac product. A few years ago when they weren’t omnipresent this would have been an ok judgement of character but I’m starting to believe that I need to reevaluate my dating criteria.

Unable to afford a computer, Ms. Jade, 25, began cadging time on a laptop at the Apple store in the SoHo section of Manhattan. Ms. Jade spent hours at a stretch standing in a discreet corner of the store, typing. Within a few months, she had written nearly 300 pages.
