Apple Repairs and Your Admin Password
This weekend my new 13" MacBook Pro started making a noise so horrible that it woke up my fiancée. (It didn’t stir me the slightest, but not much does.) The sound was awful enough that the first thing I sleepily Googled for was “MacBook Pro death rattle”. Once I was awake and listened a bit more it was clear the fan needed to be replaced. I made an appointment at the local Apple Store as soon as possible. I did some reading online and it sounded like most people were able to get… Read more »
Happy Birthday, App Store!
The iTunes App Store is one year old today. To celebrate the past year of awesome third-party apps for the iPhone and iPod touch, we’re offering Delivery Status touch for 99 cents, this weekend only.

In several countries, including the UK, Germany, Austria, and Norway, they’ve even included Delivery Status touch in… Read more »

With a couple of services it’s not possible to link directly to the results, but it will work as expected in most cases. This should be a big help when you’re away from your Mac or iPhone and want to check your deliveries! If you’re on your iPhone, clicking the tracking number or… Read more »
My First WWDC
Above: Apple’s live App Store wall at WWDC. It showed icons of 20,000 iPhone apps, organized by color. When an app was purchased, its icon rippled. It was also a great illustration of what WWDC is like: it’s a huge clusterfuck that makes you feel totally insignificant. But it’s also pretty beautiful and inspiring if you step back and take it all in. Last week I went to WWDC for the first time, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. It’s a huge event they hold every year at Moscone Center… Read more »
