NCAA Limits Event Locations Based on Bets
Like being able to bet on sports games? Well, if you live in a state that allows betting on single games by law, such as Delaware, you may not be able to see any live NCAA events in your area. On Thursday, the NCAA announced that they would no longer allow events to be held in such states. This decision does not apply to states that allow parlay betting, sports pools, lottery tickets, and pull tabs.Officially, though, the NCAA is… More »

WWDC is Over
I am just about done thinking about the WWDC.
I wish more had happened on the Macintosh front. I love what has happened with the iPhone, but I really want to see something new from Apple in regards to computers.
I am excited to see that Snow Leopard is coming out. I think this will not be a for everyone upgrade, but it should increase speed and reliability and open doors for the future.
I think the biggest problem with the “high”… More »
Snow Leopard – The Next Big Cat From Apple
Apple today announced the next cat in the OS X line of operating system. Snow Leopard should be shipping in about a year and is going to focus on improving reliability and speed and will be "taking a break from adding new features."
Basically, it is Leopard with some major improvements. (snow leopard).
There is some speculation as to whether Apple is going to charge for this release when it comes out next year. On the one hand, the things they are… More »
WWDC 2008 Keynote Recap
Well the keynote is over. If WWDC really were Christmas, this would be the part of the day where we are getting ready for dinner, putting away the wrappings, and calling our friends to let the know what we got and see how they made out. No matter how excited we are (were) it is hard to maintain that momentum.
The good news, is that the keynote was just as exciting as I had hoped. The iPhone 2.0 software is official… More »
WWDC Conversation Equals Free Mac Software
So WWDC starts tomorrow. I am pretty psyched about the possibilities of what could be coming. But the best part, I think, of being a part of the Apple Community is that we can get excited together.
Over the next week, we are running a contest on The After Mac. We are going to give away 2 licenses to TextExpander. I wrote a post last week about how great TextExpander is. (Writing about it has actually gotten me using it more,… More »
Apple Products I Want To Like
I consider myself an Apple fan. Not one of those fans, but a fan. One of the reasons I look forward to every major Apple event is that maybe, just maybe, they will finally make the necessary improvements to their products that move them from a great idea to a must have product (at least for me). So with WWDC coming up, here is a short list of products I want to like, products that need just a tweak (and… More »
WWDC Is Like Christmas for the Mac Faithful
Only 13 more days until WWDC!!!!
I can’t wait. If there was a tree and colorful lights in the livingroom, I’d think it was Christmas. I am excited. I am dying to here the Steve Jobs Keynote. I am talking with friends, speculating on just how good it might be. I am lamenting with friends about my potential disappointments and they aren’t even here yet.
I don’t ever remember getting myself so hyped up over a particular present that getting it was… More »

iPhone Ads Are Out
Wow! I want one! Why is it taking till 2008 to get here?!? Those were the thoughts that were going through my mind as I was viewing the iPhone Ads. The phone is sick… If that’s the exact way the iPhone will be running, meaning they didn’t alter the video in the Ad to create a smoother interface, damn.. It’s really awesome.
Well at least the Ads answered the question that’s on everyones mind, “when is the iPhone coming out?”. It’s… More »

Apple and EMI Launch DRM Free Music
Darn! This always happens to me. This entry is a day late because I was stuck at the hospital without anyway to read and blog about this significant news. Well better late than never.
It started with this and now Apple and EMI announce DRM free music. Nice. For $1.29, 30 cents more than the standard music tracks on iTunes you can download DRM free music that’s recorded at a higher 256kbps AAC bit rate. Apple says it’s indistinguishable from… More »
MacBook for $699
CompUSA is having a sale. This was pointed out my friend Butch. The 1st gen Macbook 2.0Ghz White (MA255LL/A) for only $699. That’s a sweet deal. Too bad I live in the Philippines. Apparently it’s true. I told my uncle who lives in California about it. It seems to be true. He talked to CompUSA and it’s available for pick-up. Sweet! So if you live near a CompUSA, why not give it a shot. $699 baby! How can you go… More »
Bill And Steve In One Room
This falls in the “Hell Freezes Over” section if I were to create my own newspaper. Well Ok, maybe not but close. The two titans of tech will make a rare joint appearance during this year’s “D: All Things Digital” annual conference. The conference is slated for May 29 to May 31, 2007 at the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, north of San Diego.

My Thoughts On The WWDC 2008 Keynote
First, pardon me if this is a couple of days late. I spent two days at the hospital and wasn’t able to watch the keynote live. I downloaded it via iTunes today and watched it. Chris posted his own recap of WWDC 2008 Keynote and now I’m posting mine.
To sum it all up in one sentence, I’d say it was ok. It wasn’t mind blowing, it wasn’t bad either. I was hoping for more but I wasn’t disappointed with… More »
