Solution for my iTunes-Aperture problem
Yesterday I posted about the dilemma of having multiple Aperture libraries and synchronisation with the iPhone through iTunes. The solution was obvious, but unfortunately the process requires many manual steps (perhaps I can use Automator to alleviate this problem):
Install iPhoto and create an iPhoto library.
Advise iTunes to synchronise with iPhoto.
Optional: Choose between synchronising all...

reminiscent of a PADD
The iPhone 4 feels even less like a phone to me than the iPhone 3GS. The latter was already an impressive design, but the iPhone 4’s ‘density’ and finish are of a different class. The first thing that came to my mind when I held it, was that this is what I imagined the smaller PADDs from Star Trek to feel and behave like.

Aperture 3, iTunes and multiple libraries
I’ve been happily using Aperture 3 for a couple of months now and everything worked fine for some time. A few weeks ago I decided to split up my one giant (~80GB) database file into smaller ones, to reduce the load on the CPU and RAM and the load times.
While this house cleaning had the positive effects I had hoped for, it also has a snag; you cannot synchronise the iPhone with multiple...

Bloatware, now on your Android device →
This is great: Unwanted, non-removable bloatware on factory new Android devices. It’s like Windows 98 all over again.

In addition to two new TV ads they started video-answering questions by Reddit members — Reddit being one of the sites that helped make the campaign go viral on the internet. Now they’re even answering question sent in by people on Twitter.

Email conversation regarding the iPhone 4's...
I just read the alleged email conversation between a iPhone 4 user and an Apple engineer and Steve Jobs.
I would urge this youtube-ishly blunt reader, to carefully read the iPhone 4 review posted on AnandTech. The reviewers of this particular site give a very good and unbiased explanation as to why the reception problems exists, what Apple did wrong and what they did right.
