We Are Apple!

Ok...just to concrete in our minds Apple is corporate.  Check out this spectacular piece of corporate genius released at the 1984 Macintosh rollout in Manhattan.  I'm not going to lie, the tune is catchy.  How about those leg warmers?

A brief commentary on the 3g.

I was speaking to a coworker this morning about the iPhone 3g, and we discussed some of the missing features of the 3g.  Some of which sure to disappoint many.  One of the most prominent omissions has to be the lack of video with the Phone.  I recall having a phone 4+ years ago, an old Nokia with a radialesque keypad.  That phone had video capabilities.  How could 4 years later, "the most advanced handset on the market" not have this feature.  The first version was ok without this, there were so many other revolutionary features, but the second iteration?  Inexcusable.  

Whether it's a hardware or software limitation is unknown.  My suspicion however is that it is something which can be remedied through software.  There is at least two options available to the jailbreak community, but where is the official app.  For a device this advanced?  What main functions was iPhone 1.0 missing?  GPS, and a faster network.  Both of which are being fixed this time around.  What about some of the other most requested features?(Flash anyone?)  Is Apple getting into the habit of delivering only what they have too to keep the masses content?  One piece at a time in order to make us pay yearly for the next piece of Apple pie.  

No Podcast tonight!

I know I promised a podcast tonight.  I've been thinking all weekend of something I could talk about.  Something completely unrelated to WWDC since we are talking about that on Wednesday.  Frankly, I couldn't come up with anything.  Instead of me giving you 5, 10, or 15+ minutes of me sitting here talking to myself, I'm going to forgo any sort of podcast.    It's ok though, you will hear the sound of my sultry voice on Wednesday.  I'm sure you will be ok until then.

Friday the 13th.

It's Friday the 13th.  Friday of WWDC 2008.  Friday without a fresh new Apple product in hand.  I was hoping at least for an update or something.  Oh well.  The fact that I didn't have to purchase anything immediately this year was a nice change.  So it's been a while.  A while without a post.  Here at Eple Sauce, we want to ramp back up and start putting up some new content.  Things have changed quite a bit for us here.  Two of us working at an Apple store, and one actively participating in the iPhone beta program.  We should have some pretty good stuff coming to our readers in the near future (both of them).  We are also going to start the Podcast up again.  Expect a roundtable next week, a recap and opinion driven WWDC podcast.  We are recording on Wednesday, posting shortly after.  I'm going to try and go solo this weekend to give you guys something to do while you wait for the round table.  Anyway look for the come back, bringin' it back old school.  ES fo'life.     

The new headless Mac, which isn't a Mac?

I think I found my new Mac.  Ok, so it's not really a Mac but it's close enough.  A company by the name of Psystar has released a "PC" built with parts known to work with Leopard, advertised as such, and even available with it pre-installed.  This does however completely goes against the End User License Agreement.  I'm planning on snatching one up before they are gone forever, thrown into the fiery pits of hell by the Apple god himself.  I sacrifice this Apple clone in the name of Mr. Jobs.  Steve.  Can I call you Steve?

Simple Finder Tip

We haven't been around for a while, but just wanted to drop in and say hello. As an apology here is a very simple, yet very helpful Leopard tip.

"About this Mac" is something I use very frequently, generally as a means to look at System Profiler. Well in Leopard if you click on the Apple icon in the tool bar, then press option, "About this Mac" turns into "System Profile," cutting out a step. Hey it's all about effeciency.

GoDaddy and .Mac

So most of us are familier with GoDaddy and their easy to use domain and web hosting. Well what if you still want to use your .mac web hosting with a domain registered with GoDaddy. Well with .mac's recently upgraded ability to add personal domain's this is very possible. Possible, albeit rather complicated. Here at Eplesauce we believe everything should be easy (that's why we use mac's) so we are going to help you out with this task. It has been discussed many a time so instead of going through the dirty work we will let you just visit another site for help. newmacuser.com gives an excellent tutorial on this process, very simple and easy to use. Good luck and enjoy.
