What\’s a retail employee worth to Apple? | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. As the article says “each Apple retail employee is probably worth more than half a million dollars to Apple.” Yet Apple only pays retail wages. Perhaps Apple should be considered the Wall Street of computer support. Buy low, sell high.
OS X Lion accepts any LDAP password, creates enterprise network nightmare | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. So I wonder if this happens in Apple Open Directory hosted environments as well? That would be a death-blow to using Mac in enterprise environments. Sometimes with things like this, you just get the feeling that Apple isn’t doing any quality control in enterprise setups.
Up in the Air | Laptops | Macworld. Yes. This is a mostly complimentary article about Air’s and why people who have them seem to love them. Surprisingly most people seem ok with giving up their CD/DVD disks. I always thought that the people who have invested in software or movies would resist buying a device that didn’t support them built-in, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Mac 101: OS X Lion’s new window resizing features | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. I just tested this out and this is a great time saver. Rather than using one place at the lower right to resize, you can do it on any edge of a window. Nice touch!
A few nasty gotchas in Lion | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Surprising that there were problems with NAS and POP. I wonder why Apple didn’t give those manufacturers a heads up to prevent possible consumer data loss and anguish?
Apple’s infrared ‘camera kill switch’ patent application hits a nerve – TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. This is the kind of “quiet censorship” that concerns us who work with Apple products. An earlier post yesterday talked about filtering based on political words.
Study finds Macs account for 11% of corporate computers, Windows XP dominates | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. I have been seeing this for years. People have gotten sick of using XP, and if they have Windows 7 they seem to prefer Macs. I think that the iPhone has done major work in rehabilitating the opinion of the general public about the functionality of Apple products.
TUAW\’s Daily App: Tiny Tower | TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog. You can play a clone called Tiny Tower. It is free and looks great! I like Yoot Tower as well, if you like the original.
