Apple are doing a lot of great things. I doubt there would be such a push for touchscreen phones if it weren’t for the iPhone, and if OSX hadn’t shown the world that OS’s don’t need to look clunky there would be no sleek Ubuntu or W7; it’d still look like windows 95. I have [...]

I’ve been thinking about getting a new phone once my current one’s been paid off… I’m on a Telia 18-month plan and it ends in about a month. I’m probably going to stay with Telia; I like their coverage… I was thinking of getting an iPhone, but like you’ve probably noticed, I’m not too happy [...]

Jag studerar ju vid Linnéuniversitetet i Växjö, just nu en ganska lös och flummig kurs som heter “Datorstött lärande”. Jag gillar den, mycket för att den innebär att få träffa andra lärare och diskutera olika sätt att använda datorn som hjälp i skolan.
Nu fick vi en uppgift där vi skulle skriva typ ett A4 på [...]

People who’ve read my list of annoyances regarding iTunes and the iPod Touch may be wondering why the hell I still own a Touch - if I dislike it so much, why not get something else?

#13: No way of checking how much space the apps take. Sure, I can check how much the apps themselves use - but not, of course, sort them by size or anything like that - in iTunes, but I can’t see, for instance, how much space my offline Spotify songs take, or if I should [...]

As you might’ve gathered from the last few weeks of more or less constant nagging and bitching, I’ve recently gotten an iPod Touch. Despite a number of complaints, it’s still, I fear, better than any of the alternatives, at least for now.

…is still the original X-box. Not because of its admittedly mediocre game library, but because of its flexibility.
It can’t have escaped anyone’s attention that I’m kind of a geeky kind of guy. I like fiddling with things. I like taking things apart, see how they work, make my own little contribution, and then put them [...]

#12: No power profiles. This is a small one, but annoying. When my iPod Touch is connected, as in recieving power from somewhere, I’d like it to stay on and un-autolocked. When it’s not, I’d like the autolock to kick in after about a minute. Laptops and netbooks usually have “power management profiles” of some [...]

#10. No shared file area, no file system access. Seriously, Apple, wtf? I know you want us to believe noone needs to access or use the computer’s actual file system anymore, instead you want us to rely on indexing and tagging, and flat motherfucking file structures. Like your hog, Itunes.
Anyways, I’m not ready to go [...]

Let no man tell you that Apple isn’t evil. Apple is every bit as monopolistic and fucking-bastardly as Microsoft - and this Quicktime shenanegans is just the last part of a long saga. Remember when installing or updating Quicktime suddenly automagically meant also installing their crappy webbrowser Safari in windows? Yeah. Remember how Itunes, until [...]
