Apple’s Keynote also does numbers

by on February 26, 2008 in Apple

Now, this got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The other day, I was preparing a presentation with Apple’s Keynote and was doing what one of these tables with numbers and figures (you know the ones that investors need :-) ).

Since it was a presentation I thought about entering each number and calculation on it’s own, but then I just entered a “=” and I saw that I get a Formula-Editor.

Maybe for some people this is not new, but I was completely blown away. Actually, I could have expected something like this coming out from Apple as with all things from Apple it comes down to the details.

Flex 3.0 and Air 1.0 released today

by on February 25, 2008 in CFML

Ok, we are probably the last ones that blog about it, but never the less it is worth to note that Adobe released Flex 3.0 and AIR 1.0.

In the words of Adobe Flex is; “Flex is a highly productive, free open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems.” and to AIR they state that; “Adobe AIR offers an exciting new way to engage customers with innovative, branded desktop applications, without requiring changes to existing technology, people, or processes.”.

In the end it means that Adobe got the killer suite; ColdFusion as the data engine, Flex as the RIA tool and AIR for bringing the whole web application down to the desktop level. Pretty sweet. Now is the best time to turn to Adobe for all your development needs.

Finally, Apple releases fix for Keyboard Issues

by on February 20, 2008 in Apple

Today, Apple released a “Keyboard Firmware 1.0″ which will fix (according to the description):

“This MacBook and MacBook Pro firmware update addresses an issue where the first key press may be ignored if the computer has been sitting idle. It also addresses some other issues.”

This has driven me nuts. Thank you Apple for a fix that should not have been there :-)
