Former Inquirer writer Charlie Demerjian is reporting that Apple may stop using NVIDIA chips in upcoming Macs. He reports for SemiAccurate (a name that inspires confidence!), that Apple-NVIDIA negotiations on upcoming motherboard chips have come to a bitter halt.

With the official release of the iPhone 3.0 OS only a few weeks behind them, Apple today released to developers the next feature release of the iPhone OS.
Here's what's new:

I've said it before, Apple's iPhone App Store is the technology innovation of the year. Apple has distributed over a billion applications over the service and now has over 50,000 applications to choose from. That is more than its creators probably ever dreamed of.
But it isn't all gravy. Here's why:

AT&T Navigator, a rebrand of Telenav's turn-by-turn GPS navigation software, hit the iPhone app store this morning. Watch out. It is a Trojan horse into your wallet.
AT&T has a monumental task. It, alone in the US market, must bear the brunt of the most widely-used 3G mobile device by a long shot. The latest figures show that the iPhone, out of the hundreds of mobile smartphones out there, is carrying close to 2/3 of all web traffic.
All on one network.

As an Apple follower, I am starting to feel a seasonal instinct towards waiting in line for iPhones during the first part of summer.
Here's my plan for this year...
The big surprise coming out of Apple's 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference appears to be the new batteries in the MacBook Pros. Early testers are seeing that the new MBP's have a huge amount better power consumption than their predecessors.
Battery technology simply doesn't advance this fast.

Let's get one thing straight before I defend AT&T. I think their service is horrible. In New York City and the surrounding area, there is no worse mobile carrier.
That being said, all of this pooh poohing about the iPhone 3GS upgrade pricing is just silly. Here's why.

During yesterday's WWDC, Apple spent some time showcasing the new Exchange capabilities of Snow Leopard. It got a lot of ooohhhs and ahhs because it has, out of the box, free of charge, most everything Mac users will need to connect to their company's Exchange 2007 Server.
Ironically, it seems to have more functionality than Microsoft's own Entourage 2008 product.

Apple's WWDC is tomorrow. We know there will be some serious iPhone information. What else will we see?
A few months ago, I detailed an excellent "file server in the Cloud" application called Egnyte. In a nutshell, Egnyte is a secure Software as a Service that takes the place of your file server, FTP Server and backup. It also offers file versioning and collaboration beyond what you'd find in your everyday NAS product. This is great for small businesses who might have moved other aspects of their IT infrastructure to the cloud already (ie. messaging servers to Gmail) but still have to keep that server room running for their file server.
Not anymore...

The Wall Street Journal reported last night that Steve Jobs was well on his way to recovery and should return to work in late June, as scheduled. Interestingly, Apple's directors have been in direct contact with his doctors to get first-hand accounts of his condition. The Wall Street Journal spoke to someone who has seen Jobs in the past few weeks.

I can't believe I missed this. Even worse, it looks like just about everyone did (OK, not everyone). I just checked a GPS-enabled webpage page, below, on a 3.0B5 iPhone's Mobile Safari and Boom! The webpage checks the GPS coordinates of the iPhone and returns a result.
If you've bought a 13-inch Unibody MacBook in the last few weeks, you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Apple has secretly updated the screens on recent MacBooks to a significantly higher quality. One very similar to, if not the exact same as, the more expensive MacBook Air. The MacBooks in the Apple Stores haven't even been updated yet.
