Wonders never cease … Goldfarb says:
“The promise of Silverlight is that it’s a cross-device, cross-browser, cross-platform solution, and it works the same on Macs as it does on Windows,” Goldfarb responded. “The iPhone is a unique scenario. We talked to our customers…and they said, ‘Look, we just need to get our content there, and it’s mainly in...

Macally - A Mouse for the Mac →
via “geoduck”, who said:
For at least a decade, with each new desktop Mac I’d get, personally or for where I worked at the time, I’d always toss the stock mouse in a drawer and get a nice MacAlly mouse with two clearly marked buttons and a big scroll wheel. They were cheap and nobody could say the Mac didn’t do 2 button mice.

Nikon's pro bodies outsell Canon's? →
Jeff-C says:
This chart was shown at the D3s launch event in Beijing.
It shows the D3 has been out selling Canon’s 1D Mk III and 1Ds Mk III combined before D3X was available, and since the D3X introduction Nikon has been getting 70-80% market share in the professional market.
There is a note saying the data is from Nikon’s own survey data. When being asked about the source the...

Jobs to The Little App Factory: Name change “Not... →
Joseph says:
Again, it’s business and Apple can’t allow others to piggyback off of Apple trademarks. The Cisco case is a bad example because the value of Cisco’s ‘iPhone’ trademark comes no where close to Apple’s ‘iPod’ trademark – note that Apple essentially won that argument as proved by the fact that it used and uses ‘iPhone’.
And not all Apple fans have double standards. If Bill Gates told...

Tzvi Fabian says:
Jobs has no need to imagine, Apple was not so long ago forced to change the name of more than one of its products due to trademark infringement. MobileMe was upon a time known as iTools, but Tenon Intersystems was already using that name, and Bonjour was once known as Rendezvous, but Tibco Software already had a product with that name.

Birdfeed 1.2 supports photo uploads to Flickr
birdfeed:
Flickr
One of the features I’ve always wanted in a Twitter client is Flickr support. In my opinion, an ecosystem of third party, Twitter-specific image sharing services thrives at least in large part because their authentication scheme (simply using users’ existing Twitter credentials) is easier for third party developers to implement than Flickr’s somewhat involved (but arguably...
