Newton among "Biggest Cults in Tech"

I'm proud to count myself among InfoWorld's Tech cult No. 7: The Tao of Newton. I'll confess that my 2100 has seen less action since I bought my iPhone, but it'll never be relegated to my basement wasteland where various Palms, Visors and even a 3Com Audrey dream of more useful days.

Newton ownership is definitely not for everyone. it's big and takes some doing to get it to cooperate with contemporary hardware and software. But for the faithful it's a terrific piece of hardware. For more Newton information, check out The NewtonTalk mailing list.

People either have the love or they don't. You can have mine when you pull it from my cold, dead hands.

Apple among InfoWorld's Tech of the Year

Infoworld has identified its 2008 Technology of the Year award recipients, and Apple's name shows up twice.

First, the MacBook Pro gets the nod as their Best Notebook Computer, calling its glossy screen a "revelation" (that might be a little extreme) and praising its performance and build quality.

But wait, there's more! Mac OS 10.5 was named Best Operating System. We all knew that, of course, but it's nice to see some recognition outside of the faithful.

Reading this report after watching the videos of old Steve Jobs keynotes makes me marvel at the company's success. Apple was so close to the brink just ten years ago. Here's to a tremendous 2008!

Mac Pro, MacBook Pro win InfoWorld 2007 Tech honors

InfoWorld just released their 2007 Technology of the Year Awards, which cover technologies that were the best of 2006, and Apple has made a strong showing. The Mac Pro snagged Best Desktop/Workstation while the MacBook Pro took Best Notebook honors.

InfoWorld also has an article up by Tom Yager that chronicles Apple's very smooth Intel transition. When I think about how well Apple handled the transition, and the number of developers who jumped on the Intel bandwagon so quickly, I am amazed.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
