Gimme back my language, Dude! (via peter A cross)

Is Marketing taking over language?

iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad; I’ve had enough. When did icing become frosting? Why is the pavement not the footpath?

Guy gets a 27 imac because the Apple Store has too many issues with his 24 imac. Fantastic! It is service like that other companies need to offer to be competitive.

Pages and all other iWork 09 apps crashing on startup

Apple – Support – Discussions – Pages and all other iWork 09 apps …. Seems to be a font conflict. Has a great link to a free and legal version of the older software LFE. thanks Peter!
