It seems everyone and their spouse is chiming in on the GUI enhancements / f**kups put through in the most recent release of the Apple OS. I’ve been meaning to chime in on this but only until I’ve actually used the OS and understood the intuitive wrestling that goes on behind it.

Through ups and downs of the past year, it’s been a very fun and interesting ride. Here’s what’s piqued my interest the most:
News, Stories, Software, People, & Places
Apple is taunting us with yet another WWDC and who knows what will turn up

I don’t like being quick to judge things (at least, not very often), but sometimes I just can’t help it. I’ve held off riding the deluge and tidal wave of bad blood towards iTunes new UI because I wanted to form my own opinion. But the kneejerk reaction was simple: I don’t like […]
