Bullcrap.

I can say that with confidence because I read John Gruber’s response. Although, to give me some credit, when you get a sub heading to an article as sensational as “Apple’s phone would have snuffed out the Android a year ago, but now Google’s device has become an unstoppable juggernaut.“,  you have to wonder who paid for this propaganda acid trip.

Seriously, Unstoppable Juggernaut?

Trademarks have been granted for less. Any time I say or hear App Store, even when referencing another company, I think of Apple. Ok, so I am an Apple user and have Apple on my mind, but Apple sort of coined the phrase. Think it would be safe to say that the phrase App Store is commonly linked with Apple.

Ha, well, not quite. Maybe not directly, but it appears that indirectly, Picasso could have influenced Apple’s Finder Icon. Cool. Link found on DaringFireball

I am so very tempted with the MacBook Air, I think it will be a while before I get one but it does help reading detailed reviews like this one from Matt. He also supports it with an abundance of photos showing various set-ups and configurations etc.

I have been leaning towards the 11″ also, but felt the screen maybe a bit limiting for more detailed work, apparently not according to Matt. This review should answer a number of questions if you can’t decided between the various models.

Reeder has made reading and managing RSS feeds a joy. The iPhone app started it off, then the iPad version and now we have a Beta version for the Mac.

If you like your RSS feeds, you need to check out the Beta version for your Mac Desktop. I have slowly made the switch from checking RSS feeds on mobile devices to the desktop, as Reeder makes it so easy and handy to use/read/share etc.

Have been a fan of Coding Robots stuff for a while, and use the nifty Notetask on my iPhone.

After previously blogging about Notetask, Kim from Coding Robots generously gave me 10 licences for MarkdownNote for iPad to giveway, neat promotion. It sells for £2.39 in the App Store.

“MarkdownNote makes it really easy to create notes using John Gruber’s popular Markdown markup language in your iPad.

Using live preview feature, you can preview your Markdown markup syntax to HTML on writing. MarkdownNote allows you to create and organize your notes in folders with Dropbox.com.”

How to snag a licence.

Quite simple. Please leave a comment below, with your Twitter ID. A retweet of this post would be appreciated as well, please add #markdownote at the end of the tweet. For Example ‘MarkdownNote for iPad – 10 Licences to Giveaway http://goo.gl/fb/clfdd #markdownnote’

That’s it. I will pick 10 names from the comments at random towards end of this week,

Markdownnote is not for everyone, so please only enter if you feel you would make use of this app. Thanks.

Oh, and one more thing. You clearly need an iPad. :)

I do a lot of writing, and of late, more of it done on the iPad. So I tend to collect note and writing apps as habit. Not tried Writingsapp as yet, but I plan to.

Wikipedia states, The Cupertino effect is the tendency of a spellchecker to suggest inappropriate words to replace misspelled words and words not in its dictionary.”

When I first read this quote I just thought it was some joke directed at the hilarious frequency of Auto Correct fails on iPhones. In actual fact, The Cupertino Effect predates the iPhone and is an interesting coincidence. Interesting.

I find it hard to believe that a company such as Apple would be so careless over something so flamable as a possible mental health discrimination case.

But then again, Apple have been careless on a number of occasions, so whatever.

This is a subject I can intimately relate to, so I am more than interested to see what happens here, if indeed this story is as reported.
