		<description><![CDATA[Fans were lining up outside The Falls Apple Store in Miami, FL today since 6 AM in order to be the &#8220;first on the block&#8221; to own the latest version of Apple&#8217;s wildly successful iPad, the iPad 2. I passed by the store around 3:30 PM to see how the line was doing. What greeted me was similar to the huge lines I saw when Apple launched OS X Leopard, wrapping around the open-air mall for hundreds of feet. These gregarious fellows had been there since 6 AM in the morning! From right to left, Matt, Jonathan, Andre and Max, were all raring and eager for the store to open so they could have the honor of being first. Similar events were happening at pretty much every Apple Store in the universe. I got a report from Texas that Apple fans had camped out for days in front of a store. A friend of mine got there around the same time I did, and he was able to get his iPad2 (black, 64GB Verizon model) at around 6:45 PM. He called me a reported that over 100 people were still in line. The store ran out of 64GB AT&#038;T models [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All quiet at the Apple Store&#8230; Originally uploaded by Carlos Echenique Today, June 15, 2010, marked the pre-order launch of the iPhone 4. The demand for the latest smartphone from the Cupertino technology giant was such that both the online Apple Store and AT&#38;T&#8217;s 3G wireless networks were brought to their digital knees. However, in the brick and mortar Apple stores, all was business as usual. Folks queued up for their Genius Bar appointments, others asked questions of the blue shirted staffers about Apple products. While a gregarious few tried to pre-order their iPhone 4&#8242;s on the store machines, figuring that the Apple Store&#8217;s demo units would have an inside track for ordering. Such is not the case, as several customers tried fruitlessly to order on the stores Macs, Macbooks, iPads, and even someone on the iPhone 3Gs. Me, I&#8217;m going to wait a day or so before I order my upgrades. Just to let the frenzy subside.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Aperture 2 is very flexible regarding importing files. However, I have discovered that if you have symbolic links in the path to your image files, Aperture 2 will report the file as an unsupported format. Case in point: I added a data drive to my Mac Pro and moved all of the data over to it. However, OS X expects the &#8220;Documents&#8221;, &#8220;Pictures&#8221;, &#8220;Music&#8221;, &#8220;Movies&#8221;, etc folders to be on the system drive (the one where OS X is installed). I created symbolic links (shadow copies in Windows terms) to the folders on the new drive pointing to the location on the old drive. Under normal circumstances, this arrangement works well. The OS handles the translation seamlessly and everything is hunky dory. Except Aperture 2. Aperture 2 imports the files just fine, but when it comes time to render the previews &#8211; &#8220;Unsupported Format&#8221;. The solution: import the files using the real path (no symbolic links) or import the images into the Aperture Library directly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow. Just got through possibly the worst coverage of Macworld I have ever seen. One can see that Steve Jobs is truly the dynamic force behind the scenes in Cupertino. To wit: No Steve = No live video feed No Steve = No Snow Leopard update No Steve = No Blu-ray support announcement No Steve = No Mac Mini refresh No Steve = No netbook sized MacBook (MacBook Mini? MacNote?) No Steve = No vid card refresh for Mac Pro No Steve = No Cinema Display refresh Top that all off with MacRumors&#8217; live coverage getting hacked (&#8220;STEVE JOBS JUST DIED&#8221; was inserted into their comment stream by person(s) unknown) and then their site went down. Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I know better than most people how dangerous anything happening to the pancreas is (I am a survivor of necrotizing pancreatitis &#8211; which has a 2% survival rate in 1 month vs, pancreatic cancer&#8217;s 20% the first year), and I do not begrudge Mr. Jobs looking after his health. It just without Steve, Apple loses quite a bit of its zing. On a positive note, two new MacBook Pro models were introduced and the 17-inch unit looks amazing. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking about this topic for quite some time now. What is preventing Apple from officially supporting BD drives and HD content from them? Steve Jobs is on the Blu-Ray Steering Committee for Pete&#8217;s sake! Not technology. With the latest refresh of the Mac Pro, even the base model has hardware support for decoding the HD content with ease. MacBooks and iMacs have been that way for a while as well. Not encryption. The HDCP stack is now supported fully by all of the components. Not licensing. iTunes/AppleTV already has access to a ton of HD content. The only answer (that I can think of) is money. Playing HD content over DVI or HDMI requires royalty payments to the patent owners. My guess is that Steve is waiting for DisplayPort (the royalty-free VESA standard for HD connectivity) to become prevalent. He will then announce new video card options for the upgradeable Macs and new version of the MacBook to support this technology. At this point the drives will become suddenly available and viewing BD content on the Mac will only require a quick software update (which removes the blocks in place). Oddly enough the catalyst for this will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well the CES and Macworld keynotes are over and it&#8217;s time to see how the two heavyweights fared. In this corner we have &#8220;Battlin&#8217;&#8221; Bill Gates, retiring founder and Chief of Microsoft and in this corner we have &#8220;Jammin&#8217;&#8221; Steve Jobs, co-founder and iCEO of Apple Inc. Battlin&#8217; Bill Gates vs. Jammin&#8217; Steve Jobs Round 1: &#8220;Battlin&#8217;&#8221; Bill moves in first and gets his keynote started 1 week before Steve. Opens up with a video about his last day at Microsoft and how he has no idea what to do with himself. Starts pestering such luminaries and Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton who politly tell him to shove off. Bill then goes after various rock stars, news figures and other notables who all send him packing. After the video, Bill announces Zune 2.0, the Silverlight/NBC/Beijing Olympics deal, crows a bit about the pervasiveness of the Windows platform and the awesomeness that is Vista, demos the SYNC system used in Ford vehicles, rehashes the Surface demo and shows off a new toy from the R&#38;D labs. &#8220;Jammin&#8217;&#8221; Steve retaliates with a pre-Macworld announcement of Mac Pro upgrades (available the day of announcement) for the entire Pro line of desktop systems.
