MacTech 2011: Guy Kawasaki's keynote address

by Kelly Guimont (Nov 3rd, 2011)

Guy Kawasaki was the keynote speaker for the first day of MacTech 2011. Instead of a talk about Enchantment or Bozosity, this talk took a different turn: It was about Steve Jobs. Specifically, it was about what Guy had learned from Steve and from working for Steve. I really liked his talk ...

No comment: WWDC wristbands

by Steven Sande (Jun 9th, 2011)

We're pretty sure that these are for WWDC attendees who will be at the annual beer bash tonight, and not meant to be attached to devices that are loaded with REDACTED (iOS 5)... Somebody at Apple has a very good sense of humor. Overheard at WWDC: "How do I know if I'm drunk enough to wear ...

Why didn't we see a Nuance announcement during WWDC?

by Kelly Hodgkins (Jun 7th, 2011)

Will iMessage kill wireless carriers' SMS revenues?

by Richard Gaywood (Jun 7th, 2011)

In accordance with Betteridge's Law of Headlines, I believe the answer is a resounding "no." The unusually virulent meme quickly spread around the Mac blogging world that iMessage will kill SMS as we know it and, going one stage further, to characterize iMessage as "an attack" on the ...

Doing the Math: At $29.99, Mac OS X Lion was WWDC's most expensive product

by Chris Rawson (Jun 6th, 2011)

Our own Dave Caolo pointed out something that took the rest of the TUAW team aback: at US$29.99, Mac OS X Lion was the most expensive product discussed at WWDC today. It's not as though the next version of the Mac's operating system had a lot of pricing competition at the keynote. iOS 5 will be ...
