It has also been mentioned that you can change the image of this floater by replacing two files within the Dock.app package... Replacing them is left as an exercise to the readers.

Hmmmm...

Have we mentioned 'round these parts that Gil is in fact the bomb?

Might Apple ditch PowerPC for Satanic chips?

Asked whether Apple is now mooting a move to x86 chips, Jobs noted that that couldn't happen until the vast majority of its users and - more importantly - its developers have migrated to the Unix-based Mac OS X. That won't have happened until the end of this year, he added.

"Then we'll have options," said Jobs.

Ellen Feiss Creative Fun

On July 17th, Apple premiered a new set of switcher ads including one featuring Ellen Feiss. I couldn't figure out if she had just woken up from a nap or if she was under the influence of some legal or illegal substance(s). So lets have some fun ! I extracted a frame from the video and created a photoshop template with our Ellen. It's all ready to go, including knockout. Be creative and fun.

iPod: the perfect piracy tool?

The teenager stopped at a nearby display Macintosh, pulled the iPod from his pocket and plugged it into the machine with a FireWire cable. Intrigued, Webb peeped over the kid's shoulder to see him copying Microsoft's new Office for OS X suite, which retails for $500.

Hah!

New imac announced! Less delicious looking.

Apple seems to have abandoned the candy colors that made the first imacs all the rage. Maybe it's because every other computer company has put out their own bad rip-off of the imac look.

"Piracy is not a technological issue. It's a behavior issue...all the encryption schemes that have been developed can also be broken." -- Steve Jobs, talking about copy protection on the new iPod.

Amen, brutha.

Radiohead: Creatively nourished by a steady diet of Macintosh

"And I hate PCsŃthey are over complicated and unfriendly. While Macs are people friendly and intuitive. ItŐs no coincidence that most creative people use Macs for sound and pictures of all kinds and every two-bit office has a 286" - Nigel Godrich, Radiohead producer.

Radiohead's latest video for "I Might Be Wrong" was made entirely on a PowerBook running Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Videodelic and Hash Animation Master.
