There. That should generate some pageviews.
So great, I just couldn’t resist!
iPad 2 to have USB port?
I bumped into a short blurb on 9to5mac.com regarding a rumor about the next generation iPad having a USB-port. Fair enough, I thought, but then I read this:
European regulators have been forcing manufacturers to unify on the Micro-USB so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Apple play along.
Gee. Where do I start?
First off, the European Commission has not forced the manufacturers into using the...

iPad 2 rumors and speculation
Given that we are soon turning a new leaf and entering into 2011, I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised in the recent surges of iPad-related rumors from pretty much everywhere. Let’s have a jab at them and see what works and what doesn’t, shall we?
First iPad 2G case shows rear camera, new curves?
iLounge found some cases said to be for a still unannounced and unseen iPad...

Christmas break
While I have indeed not been to active here for a little while, I am now going on my Christmas break. Time to spend quality time away from the rest of the world and just relax with the family. Something I highly recommend doing, at least once a year, minimum.
I will return next week for some speculation and general guessing about what’s up next year. Not just in terms of Apple, but the...

Best of 2010 - A titanic blogpost
At the end of the year I thought it would be appropriate to gather up the most interesting things of 2010. Now just remember this is the stuff that has impressed me the most in the last year. You don’t have to agree with it and I’m perfectly fine with that. People have different opinions about everything. Of course there is not time or energy in the world to cover everything...
Wireless carriers considering charging per service →
Easily the scariest thing I have read for a long time! Knowing how things normally work, I bet it will migrate to other markets too, not confining itself to the US carriers for long.

2010 in retrospect
Nearing the end of yet another year, it’s customary to summarize the past year and I will have to say that 2010 was a great year in many ways.
Writers got some truly awesome tools, specially if your are on iOS! Great updates to SimpleNote and the introduction of several really beautiful and powerful apps, like PlainText and iA Writer. Add to the mix that the iPad did in fact prove itself to...

“What did we leave out? Spinning disks, caps-lock key, function keys, and lap...”
– Cr48 - Pilot-Program
Google on what they did not include in their new laptop, the CR-48. Need I say I like it? Specially the lack of a caps-lock key, which has been bugging me ever since people started abusing it all over the Internet.
How a Plant Virus Can Make Lithium Batteries Last... →
Very, very interesting indeed. I do hope this will be used in the very near future, as I can just never have enough juice in my battery powered devices. I just can’t!
Oh, tumblr is up and running again? Great! I’ll get backing up right away…
I have a few thoughts on this topic, which I will try to put into words and publish here during the day. It will be up shortly*.
* Your view of what shortly means does not necessarily match my definition of it.
What's with the Mac doomsayers? →
John Gruber’s thoughts on the future of Mac OS X and how it works together with the future of iOS.
I have to say I share John’s theories fairly often, this article being no exception. The Mac isn’t going anywhere soon, but iOS is going places all the time. Something as big and heavy as the Mac won’t be dropped overnight.
