Benchmarking results: Is Snow Leopard really any faster than Leopard? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 3rd 2009 11:08AM Please remove this article.
a response to a few questions in your comments:
why is it slightly faster ?
well, probably because benchmarks aren't reliable on a multitasking computer, unless they are not interrupted at all.
time machine isn't the only factor, a benchmark can be slowed down by spotlight updates, or any other task, even an open window in the Finder.
the author should at least have closed the finder, and all other unnecessary processes, before testing the hardware, at least he would have had a valuable result: that the hardware runs at the same speed as before, what a surprise !
but, comparing OS's with these tests and publishing an article about it is completely misleading, to say the least.

Sep 3rd 2009 10:55AM Bullshit, you aren't testing the OS here, there should actually not be a difference at all, or very very marginal.
to test if snow leopard is faster than leopard you should test the OS, the file system, memory management (not just access to ram, but memory allocation)
loading of apps, finder file copies etc !
what a stupid article !
Mac 101: The Open File dialog's media browser {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 27th 2009 2:56PM Thats NOT THE FINDER !
It's standard file, the standard Open dialogs found in every application.
The FInder is an application.

Jun 5th 2009 12:18AM "Consistency of app settings"
that's not up to Apple, but the developers, the guidelines are very clear about this, but many developers don't follow them.

Swype could make typing easier on the iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 15th 2008 4:48PM of course this can work on the iPhone.
precision of the finger vs a stylus does not matter that much.
the current iPhone keyboard uses code to determine which key was actually hit, taking proximity into account.
combine that with this guy's code and u have a winner.
this is actually all very simple, i hope, for him, that the guy has a patent, (he probably does)

Are iPhone app devs getting a raw deal? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 31st 2008 7:43PM BULLSHIT !
the maths just don't make sense.
THINK !
the interests Apple is getting on the delayed payment of those $250 are RIDICOULOUS !
"far more than 30%"
are u kidding ?
this delaying probably gives them an extra 0.0001% !
I'm a developer, if i don't sell enough to be paid $250 i shoot myself.
they (he ?) will get the money eventually, if there really is a developer who sold less than $250 worth of apps.
First Look: iZen Garden {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 15th 2008 6:26PM yes, PLEASE tell us, i thought that was impossible !
i thought the simulator was all Intel Code, and that XCode was simply generating Intel Code as well.
