Followup on yesterday's editorial

Followup on yesterday's editorial 12/25/2003 11:32 AM

There's been a bunch of comment on my editorial yesterday, most of it missing the point, widely. Candidates have to earn my vote, and they won't if they say one thing and do another. They don't stand a chance competing with commercial software developers, yet that's exactly what two leading candidates are doing. Further, the software market in America is depressed, and I think that's partly caused by people expecting to get software for free.

A candidate who wanted to help software jobs come back to NH, a high-tech state, could do something right now to help. No need to wait till they're elected. And I don't agree with people who say the candidate's job is to get elected. Sure, that's probably the way the candidate views it. But I'm not a candidate, I'm a member of the electorate and a taxpayer. I've yet to vote in a presidential election that means something. I'd like to, someday. I honestly don't think this is the year, but I'm doing my part to shift the focus to the voters and away from 60-second TV commercials. What are you doing?

BTW, Dean is a very average candidate. His handlers ought to tell him to answer questions frankly. He got a question about the airplane they were using and tax dodges. He was asked if the story was true and he said No, and didn't comment further. He said some really nasty personal things about George Bush and John Kerry, kind of schoolyard stuff. Not something you'd expect from a Presidential candidate. That people are rallying around this guy gives you an idea how desperate we are for leadership. I think we can do better, much better.

Followup on Dashboard flap

Followup on Dashboard flap 07/01/2004 03:47 PM

OK - I've now had time to cool down, rea d all the rebutts and opinions and I even spammed by friends list with a "Boycott Apple" plea.

So now we can get some perspective on all this.

Dashboard appears to be little HTML panes - which indeed should enable anyone to add anything they like. It kind of reminds me of the Bl ogrolling Commons distribution idea - I gave to Jason DeFillippo last year.

This is what drew me to help Laszlo and their BlogBox objects and recently the Tribe Cast objects.

So believe me - I live, breath and sleep toolbars, add-ins, bookmarklets and any sort of anything that's open and can be used for enabling software to get used anywhere.

Certainly this is where the mobile services world is going too - becoming an extension of our PC lives.

Alf Eaton brings up a obvious point:

I guess the widgets won't be able to load the actual code in from outside, unlike Macromedia Central or Laszlo widgets - so maybe there could be a separate kind of floaty widget that could load in code pages (rather than just data) from the net but wouldn't be able to access the system.

Without being able to "API Into" a system, these little HTML pages are nothing more than just - well HTML pages.

But just imagine if we had open APIs to inter-connect modules together!

Man oh man I'm getting excited, I'd better call David Temkin and Sarah Allen. Oliver Steele too.

A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners 02/01/2005 08:53 PM

Apple finally went and released an inexpensive computer. With the advent of the Mac mini, some Windows and Linux users who have been curious about Mac OS X but turned off by Apple's high prices have finally bit the bullet and ordered a mini.

Trying an unfamiliar operating system can be irritating at times. Things are not where you expect them to be, the GUI is different, and connecting to servers and other PCs can be frustrating. Hence the mini-guide.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all things OS X. Its purpose is to help those new to the operating system do simple things, like use a Windows printer, connect to a network share, and figure out what the key with the funny-looking squiggle on it next to the spacebar does (or even use your PC keyboard with a Mac). So if you're an "adder" and are feeling a bit out of sorts, check out our guide.

As eagle-eyed reader Thomas Shebest pointed out to me, it looks as if Apple has removed the Mini (car) from its BMWYourIpod page. Either the Mini isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the site.

I guess Apple got tired on waiting for IpodYourBMW.com to go live, so they released the information on their web site today -- the same information we broke a few days ago. Something we hadn't heard, though, is that in addition to all the BMWs, the system will be supported by the Mini. So yes, you could conceivably have a Mini in your Mini.

The Mac Mini is a small but powerfull machine that comes with a high-end embedded development board. It has a broader array of connectors, a faster processor, and support for a very large amount of memory. The development kit is fairly complete, with support for AppleScript, C, C++, Objective-C, Java™, Perl, Python, and Ruby programming out of the box or you can choose to use some third party Java tools such as Eclipse or Netbeans.

From our friends at Engadget, and here.
Overclock your Mac mini to as much as 1.58GHz

So you’re feeling lucky with that new Mac mini of yours, are you? But lucky enough to pop off a couple soldered jumpers on the motherboard in order to get an extra couple hundred MHz out of the thing? Oh really? And what if the chip doesn’t take the overclock, and runs unstable, as they often do? (You might not know this, but overclocking is more of a PC thing.) Well, step right up then, Mac mini enthusiasts have sorted out how to get 1.5 and 1.58GHz out of your cute little new box—whether it wants to or not. We can’t wait for the water cooling mods.

If the Mac mini is going to work as a commodity PC, it needs to be sold in commodity stores. That's probably the only real reason that the announcement that Best Buy is going to sell the Mac mini is notable at all (although it'd be even more notable if, say, Wal-Mart got on board). But it raises the obvious question: does this mean Monster Cable is going to start selling $300 Mac mini RAM upgrades?

Someone suggested that maybe I could get a couple hundred megabits out of the firewire with some sort of ethernet to firewire adapter.

“Apple’s new Mac mini computer, starting at $499, is an elegant and very affordable way for Windows users to jump the fence into what could be a greener pasture, wrotes Mike Langberg in the Mercury News. “That’s because the Mac mini is a complete Macintosh desktop computer inside a very tiny silver and white case, running the current Mac OS X 10.3 Panther operating system. Apple also provides the full sweep of its excellent software. That includes the new iLife ‘05 suite with iTunes for managing music, iPhoto for organizing photos, iMovie for editing video, iDVD for putting finished video projects on disc and GarageBand for making music, along with the Safari browser, an e-mail program called simply Mail and the AppleWorks suite for word processing and other home-office tasks.” [Jan 31, 2005]
