Due to my divorce and all the fall-out, I am completely out of touch with all things Apple. Sad, but true. I am reading Infinite Loop right now, and it is giving me some interesting background insight that I didn’t have before. But honestly, I am totally grossed out that Dear Leader didn’t bathe. Ewwwwww.

The Macelope’s take on Microsoft’s new PC v Mac page,

The web page they’ve set up is quintessential Microsoft in that it feels like a paunchy, balding, Corvette-driving divorcé giving you advice on “keepin’ it real.” Just look at the coolness dripping off the page! The vaguely Mediterranean stock photo girl with an indoor hammock is smiling at you so you know a PC is better than a Mac, dude! Join the soft rock party!

And when the Macalope said “setting the record straight” he actually meant “setting the record so vague as to not even mention their own products.”

Ohhh comfy,

I can relate…

And check out this guy… I guess he won’t be joining Cupidtino any time soon.

The iPad is da bomb!

The US Army isn’t the only security force adopting Apple’s iOS devices for training and military operations; the UK is also now actively using iPad to train its soldiers.”

A lovely Apple tribute,

I love the Macelope,

everyone’s got Apple fans figured out. iPad owners are jerks and IT’S ALL JUST A BIG CULT!

I want this sign,

Poor monkey boy,

Fox finally figures this out,

Quain reports, “So if they wanted to, could Apple devotees actually create an official Apple religion? After all, many believe in the power of the iPhone and millions of consumers would buy any product the company introduces, flaws and all.”

Although my conscious mind knows the truth, my dreams have me convinced these pictures are taken just for me.

From Stuff Christians Like on Pastors who read sermon notes from an iPad,

2. It’s distracting.

The brilliant thing about Apple is that they turn every Apple owner into a disciple and advertisement almost instantly. That’s the point of the bright white symbol on my laptop. It’s a lighthouse of branding to anyone who sees it. Same with carrying around the iPad during a sermon. Whether you mean it or not, you’re advertising Apple during the sermon and you can’t tell me there aren’t people in the crowd that spend more time watching you engage with the iPad than they do thinking about your message. That product is captivating to watch in action and when you scroll through Bible verses with a swipe of your fingers, people think about Apple, not necessarily the verse.

Lastly, save money using apps on your iPhone to afford an iPad, I used SnapTell to get $10 off this lovely camera bag at BestBuy.

I posted an article about it at World of Apple. Run along now, and go read it.

An iMayor!!

Apparently Mayor Bloomberg is seen walking around with his iPad “night and day” — he even had it when he hooked up with UK Queen Elizabeth.

As one commenter said, “She’s holding it wrong.”

Awe.Some.

Expect thoughtful articles about Apple’s hardware and software. My wife often tells me, “Your voice changes when you talk about Apple. Your whole body posture changes. You become a different person.” That person will be here every day.

Apple Ad FAIL

Apple store openings are always exciting,

Via The Small Wave quoting tibp.com,

Like any company, Google is open in what doesn’t make them money and proprietary as heck in what does. Android is open (under the Apache license, not GPL — which should give the philosophical FOSSies pause) but Google certainly hasn’t opened their search or AdWords platforms. Likewise Apple open sources WebKit (which Google uses for their browser) and OpenCL and Grand Central and FaceTime, but keeps their crown jewels equally closed. So enough already with the open stuff. You give me free services so you can mine my data, I sell my soul to you to use them. Deal. Just don’t insult my intelligence while doing it.

Wow, Steve Jobs mashup tee,

This magnificent frankenshirt creation is equal parts Steve Jobs, Apple Rainbow Logo and the androgynous David Bowie as seen on his 1973 “Aladdin Sane” album cover. It’s like Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs birthed a baby tee.

And for the latest in feminine enhancements,

IPad coming to church altars with daily missal app

An Italian priest has developed an application that will let priests celebrate Mass with an iPad on the altar instead of the regular Roman missal.

The Rev. Paolo Padrini, a consultant with the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said Friday the free application will be launched in July in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin.
