So it is happening, after all. But I just figured having to jailbreak an iPad3 bought in the US for Eu use is just too much work for me – assuming they crack it quickly. Therefore I will not line up to buy one, but I will drop by the store on Fifth just to [...]

Remember this? Well, it did take me almost one hour instead of the 30 minutes of the tutorial, and I did have a little bit of trouble with the “small connectors” and, despite careful cleaning I do have a speck of dust on the inside face of the glass, but the upgrade worked without flaw. [...]
I finally decided to take the jump and replace Mirella’s iMac dead HDD myself. For all I read, it is not a trivial operation, but not impossible either; I am actually lucky because on newer iMacs the bastards at Apple are making nearly impossible to DIY repairs by fitting their hard drives with thermo sensors [...]
Of the millions of videos who flooded YouTube today, I have chosen one that I am attached to as it features not only Steve, but also my ex-boss Mitch Kapor; please see the funny statement made by BillG at 1:13 (“we expect half of our revenues to come from the Macintosh”)

I sacrificed 1 hour of my family time last night to watch the iPad2 announcement: the greatest thing was to see Steve owning the stage as always – the guy may be ill as he is, but surely doesn’t give up a good fight. The product itself is a ‘Meh’ revision, probably leading to a [...]
“No, no, no, I won’t do a round of iPad 2 predictions” “But you got almost all of them right last time”. What the hell: 1 – more memory (128, 256 and perhaps even 512 GB) 2 – screen stays 4:3 for as long as El Jobso has his way 3 – camera, backfacing only [...]
Opposite to the New York Times, iTunes obstinately claims my iPad’s software is perfectly up to date: timezoned software update?
