A Dane in Luxembourg

I ran into the problem with the prohibitory sign on the gray screen on my iMac last week and I wasn’t able to find a solution straight away. After trying zapping the PRAM, doing a safe reboot, starting in target mode, I finally called Apple. I was running 10.6.2.
They wanted to know if I had [...]

As stated in my previous post, there’s the run-down on the Jobo PhotoGPS (available at Fototrade, Luxembourg for 155€).
Derrick Story has been testing the device with his Mac and concludes that it is not bad. Your work flow gets a bit more complicated, but until the cameras will have GPS built-in, this is one of [...]

Poll to check the temperature in the Luxembourgish market. What is your take?

Apple needs to revise its policy regarding the apps in the App Store. They can’t be sure to [...]

Apple seems to have put to many things out at the same time on Friday: new iPhones, MobileMe is replace .Mac and new software for the 1G iPhone.
As Luxembourg doesn’t or at least not officially has the iPhone, I can’t say anything about activation woes or 1G phones in limbo after trying to update [...]

Browsing through the App Store, finding many interesting applications. Downloads a few… But why? The iPhone still isn’t here, so why bother? Talk about getting ahead of yourself! And who wants an iPod Touch anyway?
