Apple TV apps – be patient, y’all!
Before the latest iteration of Apple TV was announced, the rumor mill was buzzing with an iOS based Apple TV. Â There was probably a bit of disappointment when el Jobso announced the newest Apple TV without “iOS” being uttered. Â People’s dreams of an Apple TV app ecosystem were shattered. But according to this article, Apple…

@ZJEmptv, it’s time to pick better battles to fight.
Maybe it’s a part of growing up, but I just no longer have the interest in arguing about certain things I used to love debating/arguing about at length (i.e. OS X’s superiority to other operating systems). Â It is with a little bit of this wisdom that I see a little bit of myself in ZJEmptv…

The Cognitive Dissonance of Being an Apple Fan
Back in the 90s, fanatic Mac users were regarded as a very small group of benign followers of an underdog company. Though Steve Jobs had long been ousted and was pursuing other projects for much of the decade, the sense of culture he instilled into Apple had long set in with Apple’s customers. And it…

seriously, iTunes?
I’ve used every version of iTunes since 1.0 (even that short-lived version 5), and traditionally, it’s been one of Apple’s real software assets. Nice, simple management of your music library. When iPod came along, things got even better because things synced up so beautifully and simply. But the software just hasn’t managed to stay this…

Everywhere you read about technology, the chief complaint about AT&T seems to be its dropped calls in big cities. And while that’s a very valid complaint and all, AT&T has a much bigger problem on their hands. It’s their coverage map. Ask any AT&T rep about their 3G coverage, and one who is well-versed in…

The Verizon iPhone isn’t coming any time soon. I promise.
Is there a bookie that will let me place a bet that AT&T will remain the exclusive iPhone carrier for a period of time? If so, I could be sitting on a gold mine. You don’t need me to tell you that Verizon iPhone rumors are a dime a dozen and that they’ve been around…

The angry queer: an open letter to straight people (in the US)
Dear straight people: I have to often hold myself back every time I hear someone start on a “I’ve got nothing against the gays, but why do they have to flaunt their homosexuality like that?” rant, and it happens all the time, and I’ve even seen this mentality come to be accepted within the less…

Evernote Feature Requests (that really are thinly veiled complaints)
One software program I use every day and would be lost without is Evernote. I use it as my second brain and it faithfully stores all of the information I gather throughout my day that I find worth keeping for later. The best part of it is that Evernote’s available for pretty much any platform.…

Apple’s iPhone 4 Death Grip Press Conference
My first blast from the past is from a few hours ago. Â Enjoy! So, everyone’s been talking about the iPhone’s “death grip” issue–that is, the issue in which holding the iPhone 4 in a certain way causes you to lose your signal. Of course, none of the people making these complaints actually own an iPhone…

First!
Hi, I’m Aaron. I’ve been writing lots of posts on the web, but they’ve mostly existed in various places and didn’t get to be viewed by the world at large. Â I’ve got nearly 200 Facebook notes right now, and I’ll be moving in some of my older, more awesome posts on slow news days when…
