  • Poisoned Apple?

    <b>Linux User and Developer:</b> "The announcement of the iPad not only sent the internet into some kind of meltdown, it also became a talking point that found its way into the newspapers, everyday conversations and pretty much every media outlet with a spare minute in their schedules"

  • The best computer ever

    - by Jeff
    (This is a repost from my personal blog… wow… I need to write more technical stuff!) About three years and three months ago, I bought a 17" MacBook Pro, and it turned out to be the best computer I've ever owned. You might think that every computer with better specs is automatically better than the last, but that hasn't been my experience. My first one was a Sony, back in the Pentium III days, and it cost an astonishing $2,500. That was even more ridiculous in 1999 dollars. It had a dial-up modem, and a CD-ROM, built-in! It may have even played DVD's. A few years later I bought an HP, and it ended up being a pile of shit. The power connector inside came loose from the board, and on occasion would even short. In 2005, I bought a Dell, and it wasn't bad. It had a really high resolution screen (complete with dead pixels, a problem in those days), and it was the first laptop I felt I could do real work on. When 2006 rolled around, Apple started making computers with Intel CPU's, and I bought the very first one the week it came out. I used Boot Camp to run Windows. I still have it in its box somewhere, and I used it for three years. The current 17" was new in 2009. The goodness was largely rooted in having a big screen with lots of dots. This computer has been the source of hundreds of blog posts, tens of thousands of lines of code, video and photo editing, and of course, a whole lot of Web surfing. It connected to corpnet at Microsoft, WiFi in Hawaii and has presented many a deck. It has traveled with me tens of thousands of miles. Last year, I put a solid state drive in it, and it was like getting a new computer. I can boot up a Windows 7 VM in about 19 seconds. Having 8 gigs of RAM has always been fantastic. Everything about it has been fast and fun. When new, the battery (when not using VM's) could get as much as 10 hours. I can still do 7 without much trouble. After 460 charge cycles, the battery health is still between 85 and 90%. The only real negative has been the size and weight. It's only an inch thick, but naturally it's pretty big with a 17" screen. You don't get battery life like that without a huge battery, either, so it's heavy. It was never a deal breaker, but sometimes a long haul across a large airport, you know you're carrying it. Today, Apple announced a new, thinner and lighter 15" laptop, with twice the RAM and CPU cores, and four times the screen resolution. It basically handles my size and weight issues while retaining the resolution, and it still costs less than my 17" did. So I ordered one. Three years is an excellent run, but I kind of budgeted for a new workhorse this year anyway. So if you're interested in a 17" MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz CPU, 8 gigs of RAM and a 320 gig hard drive (sorry, I'm keeping the SSD), I have one to sell. They've apparently discontinued the 17", which is going to piss off the video community. It's in excellent condition, with a few minor scratches, but I take care of my stuff.

  • Apple Gets the Message About Centralized Notifications on Mobile

    - by ultan o'broin
    Yep, looks like iOS5 introduces a centralized messaging system: the Notification Center. Wonder where they got that idea from? Seriously, way to go though; this matches and probably betters what I really like about Android’s notifications system. I’ll have to check it out myself, though. Application UX's own research confirmed the centralized approach as something users wanted in research last year. This feature will really help the iOS in the enterprise user market too. Up to now, iOS is pretty dismal in the notifications space IMO.

  • The Truth About Flash - Apple Vs Adobe

    Every emerging technology generation seems to result in a battle of platforms and ideologies - a war between companies for the hearts, minds, dollars and loyalty of consumers for their system of choice. Memories of Microsoft's Internet Explorer finally landing the fatal blow to Netscape, or Google's meteoric rise to power over Yahoo (and the world), are now but footnotes in the history of humanities technological revolution. But no sooner are they forgotten are we plunked into the middle of another war - perhaps the most vicious yet, and the one that may just have the most impact on our...

  • gtk draw "expose-event" and redraw

    - by warem
    I want to use expose-event to draw something then update or redraw. That's to say, there are a drawing area and a button in window. When clicking button, the drawing area will be redrawn accordingly. My problems are Following code worked but it only had a drawing area no button. If I add the button(cancel the comment for button), nothing is drawn. What's the reason? In the following code, if I changed gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), canvas); to gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), canvas, FALSE, FALSE, 0);, nothing is drawn. Usually we use gtk_box_pack_start to add something into box. Why doesn't it work this time? The function build_ACC_axis refreshed drawing area and prepared for new draw. I google it but I didn't know if it worked. Could you please comment on it? If the source file is test.c, then compilation is gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` The code is below: #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <glib.h> static void draw (GdkDrawable *d, GdkGC *gc) { /* Draw with GDK */ gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 0, 0, 50, 50); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 50, 50, 50, 150); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 50, 150, 0, 200); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 200, 0, 150, 50); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 150, 50, 150, 150); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 150, 150, 200, 200); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 50, 50, 150, 50); gdk_draw_line (d, gc, 50, 150, 150, 150); } static gboolean expose_cb (GtkWidget *canvas, GdkEventExpose *event, gpointer user_data) { GdkGC *gc; gc = gdk_gc_new (canvas->window); draw (canvas->window, gc); g_object_unref (gc); return FALSE; } void build_ACC_axis (GtkWidget *button, GtkWidget *widget) { GdkRegion *region; GtkWidget *canvas = g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(widget), "plat_GA_canvas"); region = gdk_drawable_get_visible_region(canvas->window); gdk_window_invalidate_region(canvas->window, region, TRUE); gtk_widget_queue_draw(canvas); /* gdk_window_process_updates(canvas->window, TRUE); */ gdk_region_destroy (region); } int main (int argc, char **argv) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget *canvas, *box, *button; gtk_init (&argc, &argv); window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL); box = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), box); canvas = gtk_drawing_area_new (); g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(window), "plat_GA_canvas", canvas); /* gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), canvas, FALSE, FALSE, 0); */ gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), canvas); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (canvas), "expose-event", G_CALLBACK (expose_cb), NULL); /* button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("ok"); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), button, FALSE, FALSE, 0); |+ gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), button); +| gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked", GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(build_ACC_axis), window); */ gtk_widget_show_all (window); gtk_main (); }

  • Embedded Lua on iPhone. What's new and what does it mean?

    - by John Smith
    Apparently Apple has changed some term in the agreement again. From http://www.appleoutsider.com/2010/06/10/hello-lua/ section 3.3.2 is now Unless otherwise approved by Apple in writing, no interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with Apple’s prior written consent, an Application may use embedded interpreted code in a limited way if such use is solely for providing minor features or functionality that are consistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application. instead of the original No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s). I am more interested in embedding Lua, but other people have other embeddings they want to make. I am wondering how you ask for permission, and what they mean by the terms "minor features" and "consistent" and how will Apple interpret this section? It seems to have enough loopholes to drive a real firetruck through.
