Web browsers are reinvented; Apple’s Safari dominates mobile phones and tablets
MacDailyNews

[cfsp key="google_adsense_300x250"]“Mobile phones, wearable devices and self-driving cars are generating buzz as the future of technology,” Jessica E. Lessin reports for The Wall Street Journal. “But the old Web browser is being reinvented too, in a trend with implications for how consumers work and entertain themselves online.” “The browser industry may have appeared staid in recent years, with the market dominated by tech giants such as Microsoft Corp., Google and Apple. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer remains the market-share leader for desktop browsers, according to Net Applications, with a 56% share of the desktop market globally,” Lessin reports. “Apple’s Safari browser leads on mobile phones and tablets, with 59% share, thanks to the popularity of the iPhone and iPad.” Lessin reports, “But behind the scenes, many companies have quietly been enhancing and reimagining the Web browser, as new technologies have made it

IOS and OS X: Apple running out of ideas?
MacDailyNews

[cfsp key="google_adsense_300x250"]“Now the early chatter on the next version of OS X, presumably 10.9, speaks of support for Siri and Maps, with the assumption that Apple has probably addressed the worst problems with the latter,” Gene Steinberg writes for The Tech Night Owl. “There’s also talk of a tabbed Finder, but that strikes me as low-hanging fruit. Minimizing skeuomorphic interface elements is mostly a cosmetic issue. It’s still more about the core functionality.” “While you can probably expect more iOS/OS X integration of one sort or another, Apple clearly understands that they cannot make the same mistakes Microsoft did with Windows 8,” Steinberg writes. “There aren’t going to be Macs with touchscreens, because that design scheme is just plain awkward, and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense from a design and ergonomic point of view.” Steinberg asks, “So what’s left?” Read more in the full

BREAKING NEWS: Apple, Inc. tried to keep its own money
A Libertarian Perspective

Apple, Inc., the consumer electronic giant who revolutionized the way we consume media, communicate, store data, and single-handily created the app economy, has, to the shock and amazement of the politicians and pundits, been caught in a despicable act of self-preservation. Rather than happily giving away what its board, shareholders, management and employees have (more or less) justly earned by the sweat of their brow, Apple, Inc. thought it best that they keep the money they earned. Below is a clip of Apple CEO Tim Cook speaking truth to asininity.

Re: Apple
My Blog

So, usually this blog is about me.  I don’t really like sharing my opinions about things, even though in this day and age, and especially in my generation, it seems like a general obsession.   BUT.  I’m really disappointed with Apple for their tax evasion.  I don’t know the whole story, obviously, but in general I support the tax system and I think it’s really sad that they have evaded a supposed SEVENTY FOUR BILLION DOLLARS in tax evasion.  Come on, guys.  This is a country that is struggling like whoa right now, and that money could have helped.  I don’t know if it would have gone to the good things, like schools and social security and things, but at least SOME of it would have.  And that hurts.   ALL of my electronics are Apple-made.  And while I felt a little bit yucky about their manufacturing practices, I feel even more yucky about this.  They are not struggling financially.  I wanted to think that the Apple Corporation was above this amount of gree

Apple Pie Crescents
Pam's Food Court

• Tube of crescent rolls • Apple pie filling • Caramel sauce Preheat oven at 375 degrees Take 1 piece of apple from the can of apple pie filling can. Then they placed it on the open crescent Add a touch of cinnamon and rolled away. Ready to go in the oven for 12 minutes. Make sure you pinch the edges so the juice from the apple pie filling doesn’t come out. When they came out of the oven we poured some caramel sauce on top. Do not skip the caramel sauce. It took the lowly crescent to a whole new level. These apple crescents took around 15 minutes from start to finish and could not have been easier – or tastier.

Is Apple’s Golden Era Over?
Beyond the Paperless Classroom

The news for Apple hasn't been great of late: accusations of off-shore tax dodging, the stock price tumbling, and continued concerns about working conditions (and SNL comedy sketches) at Foxconn. More worryingly, Apple's annual developer's conference (WWDC) is only three weeks away, and the rumor mill is not what it has been over the last couple of years. What is there to get excited about? The iWatch seems like it is not close to launching, and maybe the iPad mini is going retina, but that's just it playing catch up with the full sized iPad. Has Steve Job's legacy finally run out; has the extent of his influence over Apple finally ended? Yahoo Weather App Against this backdrop, Google and, surprisingly, even Yahoo, are the companies that are generating excitement in the tech world. Google Glass continues to instill the most excitement/ mockery – both of which raise the profile of this wearable technology. But setting aside the geek factor of Glass, Googl

[Phoronix] Intel Linux OpenGL Driver Leading Over Apple OS X. In revisiting the OpenGL graphics and gaming performance for an older Intel Core i5 “Sandy Bridge” Apple system, the Ubuntu 13.04 performance with Intel’s open-source graphics driver is now easily surpassing Apple’s OpenGL driver found in OS X 10.8.3.

Five things Tim Cook should do at Apple (now that he’s done testifying)
MacDailyNews

[cfsp key="google_adsense_300x250"]“Tim Cook performed brilliantly in front of Congress today,” Dan Pallotta writes for The Harvard Business Review. “He was authoritative, in breathtaking command of his facts, as he always is, and brought a unique perspective to each response. Senator Levin was out for blood, but ‘No one laid a glove on him,’ as Phillip Emer DeWitt wrote for Fortune.” “He put his questioners to shame,” Pallotta writes. “His response to the question of whether Apple was violating basic rules of fairness was brilliant: ‘I am a fair person. Apple is a fair company. I would not administer [something that was unfair.]‘ This is no dime-a-dozen MBA or supply-chain guy. This is a man of unique character and exceptional intelligence with an opportunity to make his own mark, not just on Apple, but on history.” Pallotta writes, “There are a few important things that he could do a this point in his tenur

Quinoa Obsession
Adventures of an Aussie Girl in London

As the title of this post suggests – I am absolutely OBSESSED with quinoa. Before I found out about being allergic to gluten, I never really knew what it was. Sure, I’d seen it in recipes and sure I’d seen it on menu boards, but I didn’t realise how deliciously wonderful and versatile this little grain was!! (While I now pronounce it keen-wa, as it is supposed to be pronounced, I still read it as QUIN-OH-A every time I look at the word. WHAT A WEIRD WORD!!) I have been using it for a while now, mostly in cooking like when I make those stuffed peppers I love so much. But now, I am putting it in everything – from muffins, to salads to breakfast cereals. It is very high in protein, so it’s good for people like me who need lots of protein in their diet, and it’s filling which is good for people like hubsy who likes to have a BIG lunch and hates feeling hungry after ‘just a salad’!! It is good hot or cold and I just LOVE the texture and

Apple’s Tax Evasion: Mr. Cook Goes to Washington
Andrew Hanauer

Apple CEO Tim Cook testified in front of a very self-righteous Senate committee today, where he was asked to account for the hundreds of billions of tax-free revenues Apple has made since 2009.  During this time, Apple has shifted portions of its operation to shell-company subsidiaries in Ireland, creating a situation in which, on a large portion of its revenues, the company could not only avoid paying taxes in the United States, but could avoid paying taxes at all, to anyone, anywhere.  The details are complicated, but the end result is clear: without breaking any laws, Apple saved itself billions of dollars that could have been spent avoiding some of the harsher elements of sequestration.  While food pantries, public elementary schools, and medical clinics are stripped of funding, Apple rolls in the dough. This is a fitting contrast for a company that has somehow convinced us all that it is something that it is not.  Buoyed by the cult of personality surrounding the late Steve Jobs,
