Apple Keynote Underwhelms with new DotMac features

So the Apple Keynote is over and what did we get. We got a new iMac that looks like the old one with a few case tweaks, come on who really uses a desktop anymore? We got new iWork and new iLife products that while cool already filled in the gaps left over by Microsoft and Adobe well. We also got upgrades to .Mac, the coolest feature of “DotMac” seems to be the iPhoneish looking Gallery. DotMac customers also get a boost to 10 Gigs of storage. The storage jump in conjunction with the new Gallery may make the most news from the keynote though, that is of course if anyone still has a DotMac account.

How to “FTP” a file on a Mac

Every week I get asked from one person or another “how do I FTP a file” so while this is not a super technical update to NoHeat I thought I would make something that other technical people can forward off to other FTP newbies. This week the FTP question was for the Mac so I chose to showcase CyberDuck. CyberDuck is a opensource and free program that can easily manage many FTP accounts. While its true that OS X has software built in that can connect to your FTP the easy of use for a novice in setting up would take longer than just downloading CyberDuck. Also note that I am a fan of Transmit for the Mac but since it is a shareware title and CyberDuck is free I will cover CyberDuck instead.

Thats Hot, Paris Hilton’s assistant waiting in line for iPhone

That’s Hot, Well it seems hype needs more hype. Paris Hilton’s assistant was seen in line today waiting in line to get her recently incarcerated and released hands on the latest greatest Apple phenomenon the iPhone. Seems even the great Hilton Heiress’ pull is not enough to get her an early iPhone peek. Of course Apple is probably not bending over backwards for ex-convicts. But who else is waiting in line?

Microsoft infringing on one of Apple Patents?

Is Microsoft infringing on one of Apple’s patents? Its no secret Microsoft uses transparent windows in its new Vista operating system, and while no one thought they came up with idea, no one looked to find out exactly who did. During one of my searches of Google’s Patent search they have I found a interesting patent by Apple. The patent describes a situation where a window that covers another would allow a certain transparency when you move the window over another. In their words:

Get your iPhone early, iPhone knockoffs show up on eBay

So the new iPhone is not even out yet and the web is all a flurry of iPhone knockoffs. Its been going on for quite a while for iPods but most thought the bar would be set too high for a iPhone knock off, not so apparently. Sporting what is believed to be a Windows Mobile interface that is skinned to resemble the iPhone GUI and a case that from a distance would fool most people its dressed to look the part. The problem is that it is filled with much of the same software silliness as a iPod knock off which is to say a GUI nightmare. Sure you may be saving hundreds of dollars and getting about the same looking experience but the reliability of such a device is highly suspect as is its usability. Apple’s biggest selling point is its ability to make functions that are normally hard use a little easier for the average user. For what its worth you could at least be the first on the block with something that at least looks like a iPhone.
