For those who have never seen an Apple Store from the inside, check out this Flickr Gallery from Le Journal du Geek, who were invited to the press event before Saturday’s opening. If you live in the area, the 5,000 first visitors receive a T-Shirt in good old Apple tradition.
As can be seen in the photos, this is another store with a ‘famous’ glass staircase.
I like my iPhone and hate love iTunes. Let me install Windows 7 on my craptop now!
If you are an indie musician and don’t have $10,000 available to have a custom designed iTunesLP from Apple, find all the info you need here.
Incredible dig at Apple and Steve Jobs’ totalitarian regime: No other choices shall detract from our glory, our domination shall be complete.
Wait for Doubletwist if you own a non-Apple branded media player but wish to purchase via the iTunes store.
I admit it: I’m a bigot. A hopeless bigot at that: I know my particular prejudice is absurd, but I just can’t control it. It’s Apple. I don’t like Apple products. And the better-designed and more ubiquitous they become, the more I dislike them. I blame the customers. Awful people. Awful. Stop showing me your iPhone. Stop stroking your Macbook. Stop telling me to get one.
Seriously, stop it. I don’t care if Mac stuff is better. I don’t care if Mac stuff is cool. I don’t care if every Mac product comes equipped a magic button on the side that causes it to piddle gold coins and resurrect the dead and make holographic unicorns dance inside your head. I’m not buying one, so shut up and go home. Go back to your house. I know, you’ve got an iHouse. The walls are brushed aluminum. There’s a glowing Apple logo on the roof. And you love it there. You absolute MONSTER.
Charlie Brooker for The Guardian in what is probably the best description why someone does not like Apple products or their users. Funnily enough I spend quite some time earlier today to explain to an author I worked with how NOT to introduce your hate for certain products.
Mac fanboys like to parrot Apple’s claims that Macs are more secure than PCs. This should come as a nice kick in the balls to those smug bastards.
One is a funny intro, the other one is totally offensive an does not promote the credibility of said author.
Just for future reference until I have a tech blog again, and because it the dock and lists look better this way.
This simple but very useful addition highly improves the usability and contrast of the context menus in Snow Leopard. All you need to do is use a simple command in Terminal.app.

iTunes softlaunched a new feature Digital 45s [iTunes link]. Although I’m old enough to remember 45rpms with a single and B-side, I don’t get the fun of digital 45s.
It didn’t take long and with the for end September planned Snow Leopard release nearing it was only a matter of time anymore. The default backgrounds for Apple’s next operating system, Mac OS X 10.6, are in typical Apple style. (Download link after the jump)
… about the memory usage on my Unibody MacBook with only 2GB of DDR3 RAM.
Especially when keeping in mind that I run iTunes (with a library of 28.GB) in Space 2 and Photoshop in Space 3. I guess it’s time to upgrade to 4GB.
