We’re a little over two weeks into iPhone ownsership and hot on the heels of my obligatory iPhone vs. Newton post, I now present my obligatory Things I Wish the iPhone Did [or at least did better] post. Let’s dive right in, shall we?
In no particular order:
No copy/paste. If I want [...]
To preface this post, let me just say that I am an avid fan of the Newton and follow the goings-on in Newtonworld with great interest. It is a great device, easily 15 years ahead of its time. The fact that it still, to this day, has a flourishing community not only of [...]
Yesterday I stopped my aunt’s boyfriend from going to Geek Squad to get his son’s computer fixed.
I found a bug in PictureWindow 1.5. It basically rendered the drop down absolutely useless. I’ve fixed the bug and everything seems to be working as it should. Download the latest version here.

People may laugh and point, but I love my Newton. I love it so much, in fact, that I was quite bummed when I realised there was no way to connect it to my Macbook Pro; Newton Connection Utilities only works on Windows and Classic Mac OS, which the Intel Macs can’t run. [...]
I know I said I was taking a break from tech stuff and I know that many more people have discussed this topic much more eloquently than I. But someone on IRC posted this link; to an online Ruby tutor. I clicked, mainly out of curiousity, and went through the entire thing. [...]
I downloaded Boot Camp and sacrificed 20GB of my hard drive to Windows XP. Besides the general repugnance I feel whenever installing Windows anywhere, the process was straightforward.
