Daring Fireball: Digging Deeper
And so what makes Microsoft’s new “I’m a PC” commercials so jaw-droppingly bad is that they’re not countering Apple’s message, but instead they’re reinforcing it. That the spots themselves jump between dozens of different people who “are” PCs, that the spots make a point of emphasizing that there are a billion Windows-running PCs worldwide, this only emphasizes that “PC” is not a brand name but a generic.

Just about the coolest addition to my iPod Touch apps – Remote [iTunes link]. It will be great for entertaining and listening to music around the house.
Chris J Davis is talking about starting a project to create an open-source application for image editing for web-based media as an alternative to using Photoshop.
Simpleshop as I am calling it internally, will of course have all the features you need for creating, editing and saving imagery for the web. Along with those things you would expect I am planning some more “novel” features like SVN integration and saving to external sources from within the program.
Think Coda’s sites, but for saving and editing imagery. I also plan to integrate Flickr as well. Once I have a working prototype I will most likely open up the SVN server and look for some help.
I really hope this project idea becomes a reality. Sillyness, werd. – New Project
I can’t wait to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard.

I just got an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid to go with my recently purchased Apple TV and I love it. Glenn Wolsey has posted his review of my new time saver.
I really like the fact that I can schedule recordings via the TitaTV website from anywhere.
This weekend I replaced my home-grown Windows Media Center HTPC that was in my entertainment center with an Apple TV. I had to decide between buying the kids a new pc and the Apple TV. So I naturally got the new toy and the kids got a good PC to last them a couple of years.
I actually went to Fry’s twice to look at them with plans of buying from the store. However, I was able to hold back long enough to check out the Apple Refurbished Store. With free shipping I was able to save $50.00 and still have the 1 year warranty.
