Sunday, March 6, 2005 Sunday, March 6, 2005 Matthew Rothenberg: RE the latest disheartening turns in the Apple-vs.-Mac-sites case -- in which the judge in the case has suggested he may indeed compel the sites to disclose their sources as demanded by Apple -- I'm very taken with this commentary from Mac-focused blog Mac Net Journal...

Tuesday, March 1, 2005 Tuesday, March 1, 2005 Matthew Rothenberg: I was saddened to read of the death of Mac founding father and GUI gadfly Jef Raskin, who succumbed to pancreatic cancer on Saturday at the age of 61. Raskin, who left Apple two years before the Macintosh debuted in 1984, provided the revolutionary desktop system with its moniker and its mandate: an affordable, user-friendly PC that took advantage of the cutting-edge interface technology being shaped at Xerox PARC and other research facilities.

Monday, September 6, 2004 Monday, September 6, 2004 Matthew Rothenberg: Another Mac trade show, another no-show for a keyboard-free Apple portable. Apple Expo in Paris indeed provided a launchpad for a radically redesigned iMac desktop that in many ways turns the tablet concept on its side; but while recent Apple patent filings for a "handheld computer" sparked optimistic predictions about a whole new portable platform, an actual slate was not in the offing. So what's the frequency, Philip? [Rothenberg's Mac Enterprise]  3:57:45 PM  Link

Sunday, August 29, 2004 Sunday, August 29, 2004 Matthew Rothenberg: Jobs and Co. tweaked Microsoft's collective nose with this brassy assertion back at June's Worldwide Developers Conference. During that Mac developer lovefest, Apple insisted that its next big cat (due in the first half of 2005) will deliver most of the features promised for the beefy Windows upgrade (slated for 2006). Longhorn is cowpathing, Apple maintained, and Tiger will take a chunk out of its hide. Now that boast turns out to be inaccurate: It was too conservative...

Monday, August 9, 2004 Monday, August 9, 2004 Cory Doctorow: This is wild. ZiffDavis/EWeek sent a threatening letter to pocketpctools.com for quoting one of their articles with a link back to the EWeek site. About two hours later, on a Sunday night, a ZD/EW rep had managed to get the entire action abandoned and written a letter of retraction that Slashdot published. That's pretty amazing: I think that even the highest-priced attorney in the land would be hard pressed to get that kind of action in that timeframe.

Monday, August 2, 2004 Monday, August 2, 2004 Matthew Rothenberg: Anybody who harnesses his hospital stay as a PR opportunity to show off the features of his wireless PowerBook configuration is tops in my book. Best wishes for a prompt recovery, Mr. Jobs! [Rothenberg's Mac Enterprise]  10:01:34 PM  Link
