So a new website has launched that intends to use the “wisdom of crowds” to identify the best ideas for a new “dream” Mac application. The registered users get to vote on all the ideas to narrow down the field, then judges will decided on 3 winning ideas. The net result will be 3 new […]
I’ve been super busy here at WWDC 2006, but it’s that good kind of busy. Lots of new technology to learn and understand. It’s been great! I did take some time yesterday to review some of the feedback online about our announcement to ship the next version of Mac Office without support for VB. This […]
I remember the first time I saw this Sony commercial, I was blown away. Check out the high quality QuickTime movie here. Simply amazing. This is the kind of creative advertising that inspires, entertains and sells. Well, it looks like they are at it again! What happens when you strap 70,000 liters of paint to […]

According to CNet Adobe will file an antitrust suit against Microsoft. The reason? Adobe doesn’t want the next version of Win Office to be able to save as PDF. Apparently they don’t mind if Microsoft charges extra for the feature, but if it’s included for free as part of the Office 2007 suite, that’s not […]
In July 2003 I was issued an American Express credit card. It just expired. I’ve used it for almost two years and I never signed the back! I have never, not even once, been asked to sign it! I guess I’m not alone! I wonder what the signature on the back of the card is […]
Check out this fan made Nike commercial. Possibly the best golf shot of all time. Seriously, even if you don’t play, you should watch this. It’s 60 seconds long.
