If you’re as big an Apple fan as I am (like most of the ZippyKid team), you were probably excited to hear about the latest announcement from WWDC bringing the retina display to the MacBook Pro.

Steve Jobs – The Ernest Hemingway of this generation. A Eulogy
Steve Jobs is no longer amongst us. To say “he will be missed”, is to dishonor him, and his legacy. His fingerprints are all over society, he is one man who will not be missed. He will be celebrated, and emulated for years to come. He can not be missed. He made sure of that. Steve… Read more »
Verizon selling iPads, and what it means, I think.

Gmail IMAP and Mail.app IMAP Subscriptions Workaround
If you host your mail at Google, use IMAP, and use Mail.app, one of the problems you’ll notice is the number of messages Mail.app downloads. What’s happening is an artifact of how gmail actually works. All messages, unless deleted, show up in the Folder called All Mail. So, when you receive new email, it shows… Read more »
Competition is good, Competition is great.
