Oct 21st 2008 8:33PM No Mac edition -- it's "comming soon" [sic].

Effin' NDA now applies to rejection letters, too (TUAW.com)

Sep 23rd 2008 9:07PM Future blog post from a developer:

"I received a document today by electronic mail, the contents of which I cannot disclose pursuant to the non-disclosure agreement I signed with Apple as a developer of iPhone applications."

"Entirely, ahem, unrelatedly, you will not be able to locate the AppleDRMReallyBites application on the iPhone Store."

Morning Coffee: why do we assume we only get one homepage? (Download Squad)

Jan 28th 2008 10:35PM I liked the extension, but eventually dumped it simply because it was an extremely tedious process to work with entering URLs. If it worked off existing bookmark folders, it'd be perfect.

iTunes HD rentals: price discrimination against men (TUAW.com)

Jan 15th 2008 7:48PM Boy, the Neanderthal sexism is just DRIPPING from this post -- and I'm not even particularly sensitive to that sort of stuff.

Ask TUAW: MacBook Pro sleep problems, multiple Firefoxes, Christmas music and more (TUAW.com)

Jan 10th 2008 9:56AM With regards to the Christmas music, depending on your level of geekiness, you can use "mdfind" to use Spotlight to grab all songs with a "Christmas" genre and move them to a separate directory, which you can then put in a disk image or ZIP file.

Transmission shifts into 1st gear (TUAW.com)

Jan 5th 2008 2:23PM Is Transmission still on most torrenters' user agent block list? It's always impressed me as a nice app, but if it's being blocked from its sole purpose, it can't by definition be useful.

Lifehacker interview on the future of Quicksilver (TUAW.com)

Dec 6th 2007 7:54PM I'm not too worried. Quicksilver is very beloved, and it's now open source. It's not going to die from neglect.

NBC officially removed from the iTunes Store (TUAW.com)

Dec 3rd 2007 4:56PM I just find it worthy of humorous contempt how very clueless the corporations are as to what people want from their digital media. Were corporations to provide legal BitTorrents of non-DRMed versions of their episodes, at a sensible price, they'd make a fortune. But since they are trying to force people's actual desires into the container of what they feel people should desire, their models are failing. And this is a particularly clear example of this stupidity.
