Apple is doing it wrong, Apple is living on borrowed time! Apple will Fail Again!
This idea, this meme, isn’t new. For more than 30 years we’ve heard a number of versions of the “Apple is doomed” requiem.
December 12th 1980 — the day of Apple’s IPO, coincidentally — I’m in Geneva, signing my employment agreement with Apple. My mission: start Apple France. Back in Paris I meet a chorus of naysayers: You’re deranged. Look at the respectable companies you’ve worked for: HP, Data General, Exxon Office Systems. (They don’t know that I can’t wait to leave the latter.) And now you’re going to work for these California hippies? They don’t have CP/M; the Apple ][ has a 40-column screen and lacks standard 8” floppies...and Fortune Systems is coming up with a Wang emulator that will wipe Apple off the planet’s surface!

Report Finds Mac App Store Is Dominated By Paid Apps

Mrz
According to a market research report by Distimo, Apple’s Mac App Store is adding applications at a less frequent rate than the iOS App Store and a much larger of those in the Mac App Store are paid apps. The report tracked data from a variety of ‘app stores ‘ from the iOS App Store, Android Market, Windows Phone 7 Marketplace and more as well as the Mac App Store – which was the only ‘app store’ for computers it tracked.
As the above graph demonstrates, the Mac App Store is very small in comparison to the other App Stores surveyed at this point in time, however more interestingly is that a whopping 88% of apps in the Mac App Store are paid apps, leaving only a slither of 12% being free. Prices are also on average much higher with the average selling price of a paid app in the top 300 applications being $11.21 on the Mac App Store whilst only being $4.19 for the iPad and $1.57 on the iPhone/iPod Touch App Store.

Technologiekiller Apple: Die Kerben in Steves Schreibtisch

Mit der Vorstellung der neuen Macs hat Steve Jobs (mal wieder) eine Reihe von Technologien zu Grabe getragen und die Kontrolle übernommen – ob das alles so gut ist? Ein Kommentar.
Wer ein Apple-Endgerät kauft, taucht in ein neues Technikuniversum ein, eines, in dem es viele Dinge nicht mehr gibt oder noch nicht gibt, die im Rest der Welt üblich sind. Steve Jobs hat im Laufe seiner Karriere bei Neuvorstellungen seiner Firma erfolgreich etablierte Technologien über Bord geworfen. Bereits vor Jahren bei der Einführung des ersten iMac (die Knubbeldinger) hatte er die Diskette auf dem Gewissen. Auf seiner aktuellen Abschussliste stehen nicht nur Flash (die Software), sondern auch andere Dinge wie etwa die Maus oder eine ganze Reihe von Massenspeichermedien.

Am 23. Oktober 2001 wurde der erste Apple iPod vorgestellt. Der grosse iPod der ersten Generation hatte Platz für 10GB Musik und die Batterie hat für 10 Stunden Musik gespielt zu einem Preis von rund 499 US-Dollar. Heute, neun Jahre später, hat der kleine iPod nano Platz für 16GB Musik, der Akku hält 24 Stunden und kostet nur 179 Dollar. Während den neun Jahren wurden nicht weniger als 269’490’000 iPods verkauft! Aber genug der Worte, lassen wir die Infografik für sich sprechen:

Must-Have 25 Mac Apps
29
Sep
Over the years I’ve had to mess with many OS X installations, backups, failures and restores. That’s just the usual life of a OS X geek in a place where people are scared of leaving their Windows PCs, but really would like to get a Mac. In fact, I’m quite proud of all those friends of mine I’ve managed to convince to get on the other side, but I’m even more proud of them because now they’re teaching the basics to someone else. This is the usual chain of events in a life of a standard OS X geek.
Having to deal with installations and restores, I’ve come to the point where I know exactly which apps to install depending on what that user needs, and how. A good friend of mine was so used to Firefox I had to bet (I’m serious) that he would like Safari more if only he gave it a chance. But that’s not the main story here. Over the years I created some sort of personal list of the first apps I install on a fresh new Mac every single time, right after the Network preferences are set up and ready to go. This list, which by no means used to exist on a physical side, is now embedded below for future reference (either mine, or my friends’) and you, who may find a couple of hidden gems in there.
It’s not a huge roundup, and it’s not for every one. These are not my favorite apps: these are first 25 Mac applications I install every time I have a fresh OS to play with, and they’re pretty great. You can call them my must-haves. Read More
