Earlier this year, I stumbled across a benchmark that would test how well the new Intel Macs compared against the PowerPC Macs. I’m going to call the benchmark svnmark because consists of compiling Subversion. The benchmark results showed that the new Intel Macs blew away the PPC Macs. Well, all but one: […]
OK so now that WWDC 2006 is over and I’ve unpacked all my liquids, gels, and lotions from my checked baggage, its time to check out (from whatever Apple has publicized of course) if my guesses came true or not. Actually, they weren’t really guesses, more of like “please, Apple, if you really love […]
The Mac we’ve all been waiting for, the one that completes the transition to Intel, was unveiled today at the WWDC 2006 Keynote by Steve Jobs himself. The Mac that was known as the PowerMac is now known as the Mac Pro, to go along with the MacBook Pro.
The Mac Pro is a must […]
Well WWDC is almost upon us! I arrived safely via JetBlue who was nice enough to move me before takeoff to a window seat in an exit row. As I looked out my window, I was surprised with branding on the engine. I guess that’s just in case I nod off, then […]
Apple has started setting up for WWDC and the banner behind the registration booth has been set up. And artisan has posted a nice annotated picture of the WWDC banner on Flickr. Roll over the picture to see all the different icons or look at the list.
I think the only thing that might […]
I’m not really good at making predictions, but since WWDC is just around the corner, why not… Plus Gus, Brent (twice actually) and Uli have some interesting ones. But instead of trying to look into industry trends, here’s just what I myself would like to see:
New UI widgets, like:
The entire bar that has […]
IronCoder 0×10 will be soon upon us. It is a battle of wills between Mac programmers and it will run from July 21 to July 23. I’ll likely be sitting this one out yet again - working on WebnoteHappy 1.2 and all. But I’m sponsoring this competition by giving away WebnoteHappy licenses […]
Last Saturday was a very Mac-filled day. In the afternoon, I went to the Washington Apple Pi (or the Pi for short) annual picnic. The Pi is my local user group where I get together with other Mac enthusiasts in the DC area. It was pretty enjoyable. Good folks and good […]

Wow… Gus [the current Iron Coder champion] made it to 3.0 with VoodooPad! That’s awesome. VoodooPad for those who have not tried it yet is a Desktop Wiki. Or for those that don’t know what wikis are, its a great app that lets you enter in all your thoughts and then organize […]
