Steve is not dead. Steve is not dying. Steve is not leaving Apple forever. Steve is not even leaving Apple. Steve is not Apple. Apple has done perfectly fine with Tim Cook before. If Steve does leave Apple will not collapse. All the media attention is not helping Steve. All the blogger attention is not helping Steve. I apologize for contributing to the attention. It needed to be said. Thank you.

My topic is GTD, right? Right. Everyone in Tech knows what GTD is, right? Maybe, probably not. Everyone in Tech knows all about GTD? Wrong. GTD is not a universal concept. Even if every techy knew what it meant, GTD is not only for techies. Out of this is born my series of GTD Essentials: one concept per post of GTD reasoning, methods, terminology, etc.

This time I’m focusing on a pretty simple one. This is one of the big ideas GTD revolves around. (more…)

I was looking for a simple, easy way to control my Mac from my iPod Touch. I did a quick search an found a app called Telekinesis.

Telekinesis is an app of two parts,  Thing 1 and Thing 2 (to quote Dr. Seuss). Thing 1 is the server side application that you run on your Mac, then you have an iPhone web-app. (more…)

In my opinion, this is a big no-no for Apple because of one thing: developers. When Apple first introduced the iPhone, Steve Jobs talked about the user interface saying that, with current smart phones at the time, “you can’t go in and add a button; they’ve already been shipped!” He went on to say that their interfaces couldn’t work because they weren’t changeable for each application.

It’s that time of year again where every blogger and their grandma’s dog’s cousin blogs about their predictions for Macworld. This year, as always, they all seemed to have reached the exact same conclusions, this year being details on Snow Leopard, a new Mac Mini, and maybe a new iMac or iLife. The problem here is that every one of them is attempting to be correct, guessing only the most predictable, plausible, and likely announcements.

That’s great, Mr. Future-NY-Times-Columnist, unfortunately, it’s boring to read the same boring things over and over again. Here is my list of new products apple could (but most likely won’t) be released in 2009, and why they might be good ideas. (more…)
