The iPhone Conundrum: Why Cingular? – SeekingAlpha

“Why is everyone missing the fact that this phone/device will seamlessly switch between Edge and Wi-Fi saving big $$$ on data rates?”

That is the reason why I passed on the Palm Treo, they refuse to add wifi to it (the Palm OS version) and I refuse to pay $149 for that terrible “add-on”. Since I am in an environment that I always have access to wi-fi, why should I pay a mobile carrier for a data plan?
What do you think?

HDMI on the new displays?

Salacious Rumors Comments Off

More rumblings from our sources at Apple that some new iteration of Apple displays will include HDMI support. This my jive with the reduction in price on the cinema display recently. It is brillant! Here is why.

People have been ranting over the net…HDMI is evil…HDMI is content protection. Sure, maybe…whatever, that isn’t the point.

Infinite Loop: Macwelt gets more iPhone details out of Apple

Most people are hoping that, since it will be impossible to install 3rd-party software on the iPhone without Apple’s explicit permission, they will be able to access the myriad of web applications available online. Many people were unsure whether or not Flash and/or Java would be enabled on the build of Safari supplied on the iPhone. Macwelt has determined from Apple’s comments that there will be “as many plugins as possible” enabled and that “Flash and Java will be enabled for sure.”

That clears that up! Or not

macosxhints.com – How to overtype text in Word

At the very bottom of the document’s screen, there are some bits of information (page, section, total number of pages, etc.). On the far right, there are four abbreviated words: REC TRK EXT OVR, each with a small circle to their left. If you click the OVR word, its circle will turn green and you will write over text until you again click the OVR box.

Great tip and a frequent complaint from people new to the behavior of OS X.
