And I have photo proof:

They clearly stole Steve Ballmer’s sub sandwich right before he put it in his mouth.

I use a Macbook Pro with VMware Fusion, which lets me run a bunch of virtual Windows machines for testing. I upgraded my internal drive to a quick 320gb one a few weeks ago, intending to run all my VMs off that internal drive, making it easier to do testing on airplanes or in [...]

I need to get a small VMware ESX/Virtual Infrastructure lab farm up and running, and I’d love to do it on Apple Mac Minis just for compactness and the silence.  It has to be ESX/VI, not VMware Fusion or Parallels.  Has anybody tried it, and if so, does the Mac Mini WiFi network card work?

Erika got me an Apple Macbook Pro for Christmas.  (Yes, fellas, you move across the country to put your girlfriend through college and it might pay off for you too.)  Being an Apple geek, I was painfully aware that rumors pointed to new Macbook Pros at this year’s Macworld show in January, so I was [...]

Yes, that would be the same iPhone that I bought recently for $599.  As Ben put it, my first two months of iPhone ownership cost me $100 per month.  Ouch.

As soon as people put it in their hands and scroll a screen up or down for the first time, they’re completely hooked.  It’s fun to watch their faces as they see how fast and playful the user interface feels.   I saw one smile after another, just [...]

I went in just now to grab a headphone adapter for my car, and the place was absolutely packed.  Every iPhone display was jammed with people packed in like sardines, all trying to get a look at it and play with it.  Two people in front of me checked out with iPhones.  They’re going like [...]

Turns out Apple had photographers at the Miami Beach store where I was waiting. You can check out their Day One Gallery, but you won’t spot me.

It rocks.
The end.
Just kidding. Of course there’s more to know, but here, I’m only going to cover the things I haven’t seen written in the press.
Photos emailed directly from the iPhone don’t include EXIF tags. I know, this one’s a little obscure, but if you email photos directly from your iPhone to Flickr, [...]
