Tablet wishes
Let me start off by saying that I, obviously, don’t have any knowledge whatsoever about future apple products. Everything written in this article is merely an opinion and a lot of wishful thinking.
My iPhone really changed my day to day life. I used to carry around my laptop everywhere I went. I’m an internet addict and can’t spend a day without e-mail. All my news I get...

Facebook Gives Harman His Name Back, Apologizes →
Follow up to my previous post on this situation.
I’m not quite sure if this is a case of “ends well, all well” or “to little to late”. Not so sure we would have seen the same result without the media coverage.
What do you think ?

minimalmac:
For some time I’ve been meaning to test my small collection of PDA/smartphone gadgets to see which of their methods of input was quickest. The iPhone’s software keyboard? The Newton’s handwriting recognition? Palm’s Graffiti? With the possible imminent arrival of a tablet from Apple that will save the world, it seemed a good time to get round to the test.
Fascinating and I am also...

Ego app
So today is Indie Relief day. If you didn’t hear about it yet, shame on you ! I wasn’t really looking for any new software but this charity thing convinced me now was a good time to spend some money on a Indie App that I was probably going to buy in the future.
I opted to buy Ego, and am still eye-balling some others. Allot has been written about Ego already so I won’t...

Bumptop for Mac →
Bumptop for mac was just released. I played around with this on windows before and found it less of an annoyance then I initially expected. It was actually pretty use-full. I’m glad it has a real mac-app now :)

I’m glad they are doing well. I’ve used them from almost the beginning and they are awesome! Use it on a daily basis and their integration with both windows and mac is flawless. Also very useful on my iPhone. Best of luck dropbox.

Experiment results
minimalmac:
As promised, here are the survivors of my little iPhone home screen experiment.
I promised to do the same. Here is my result:
As you can see, allot has changed. It was however within the line of expectation for me. A lot of apps moved from page 2 to page 1 and some were moved all the way to the last page. Unlike my fellow experimenter I don’t use my contacts as a gateway...

Bill Gates Surpasses 100,000 Twitter Followers in... →
So incase you missed the news, Bill Gates (re-)joined the social network world by (re-)joining Facebook & Twitter.
So after big sites like TechCrunch, Engadget and CNet brought this story apparently he managed to get 100.000 followers on twitter in a mere 8 hours. Now that’s an accomplishment.
Edit: He’s on 163k already :)
Stock and Flow →

Robin Sloan knocks the ball out of the park with this overview on online media today:
Flow is the feed. It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily and sub-daily updates that remind people that you exist.
and:
Stock is the durable stuff. It’s the content you produce that’s as interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s what people discover via...

Teaching Gestures →
Lukas Mathis wrote an excellent piece on teaching multi touch gestures. I while back I wrote a short post about Multi Touch enhancers. I also wrote I was going to give all of them a try and post my findings later. So what happened ?
Well, the first enhancer I tried was JiTouch 2, which Lukas also writes about, and I loved it so much I never uninstalled it to give the others a try.

Next week's Apple event to be iLife / iPhone OS... →
Yeah my bet is also on that. I was thinking that a remade iLife could be a vital part of the Tablet. Nobody knows why you would need a tablet and what you would use it for. But if there is one product that could convince you, that you actually need a tablet. It’s a great version of iLife.

Rumor: Apple launching 22-inch touchscreen iMac →
I was waiting for this rumor to show up. Not because I’m hoping for a 22-inch touchscreen iMac, just because this rumor was obvious to show up sooner or later with all this touchscreen hype.

Facebook 3.1 for iPhone
Today Facebook released a new version of their iPhone app brining it up to version 3.1.
They have also finally included a feature I have been waiting for, for a long time. Push notifications. As you can see on the picture you can easily customize for which events you want to receive push notifications.
It took them a long time to get it implemented but I’m happy it finally arrived. Push...
