Since my last blog post, our friends over at Apple have been busy. We’re going to talk about three things: OS X 10.5.3, iPhone 3G, and MobileMe. This story will be broken up into three parts, one new part each day. Today I’m going to write about all the changes made in the latest iteration of Leopard 10.5.3; Tomorrow, I’ll share my stance on the iPhone 3G as well as all the specs about it. Then on Monday I’ll give you the skinny on Apple’s “new” service called MobileMe, which Phil Schiller dubbs “Exchange for the rest of us.” Keep reading for all the juicy news…

If you head on over to TUAW’s latest iPhone related post, you’ll see that they have a little yellow square that shows how man diggs the story has. I have searched on Digg, and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how in the hell to get that little block into my posts. If someone out there is reading this and you know the secret that I don’t, please share.

Update: I found the link at the bottom of the digg page when I accidentally tried to re-digg my iPhone story. For anybody else who wanted this feature, but didn’t know how to get it, read the How-To here.

I’ll bet that photo looks familiar. Remember back whenever this little thing hit the interwebs and everybody was saying, “OMG It’s the 3G iPhone!!!”… then it turned out to just be a case for the current iPhone? I remember that. I also remember thinking about how badly I wanted that fucking case, even though I didn’t have an iPhone. Well, with the upcoming WWDC, and the inevitable release of the 3G iPhone, I’m getting ready to pounce on the sudden price drop of the prev. gen iPhone. Wait, wait, don’t tell me how stupid I am for buying old tech. I’ve thought about this very hard. I will probably never buy the data plan, and I never ever use GPS. I see no reason to buy the next iPhone other than the obvious HD space bump, and that’s just not that big of a concern for me. But anyway, I digress. I’m gearing up to buy an iPhone and I thought, “I bet that case would looks super sexy on my iPhone.” So I went to the original blog that it was posted at, WinandMac, where they had a link to the site where you could buy the case. I hopped over to the page, but couldn’t find the phone anywhere. I got a little frustrated, so I shot an email to the owner of the site concerning the case, and he sent back an email that shocked me! His response indicates that this case is NOT for the current iPhone. Keep reading for the conversation…

When my sister asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift, it took me a while to come up with anything other than that sweet smelling green paper. But eventually my mind lingered away from money and clung to something that I had seen a while back on one of my favorite tech news sites, Gizmodo. On May 9 they wrote a short little snippet about a neat looking backpack for your precious notebook, macbook in my case. From the image they provided, it almost looked like a bullet-proof vest, but only for your back. You can view their story here. So, I told my sister that I wanted this neat-o macbook backpack. She ordered it for me, and I got it in the mail just yesterday. I chose the stylish black rather than the pukey Olive Green, or the simply disgusting Wood pattern. The first thing I did was strap it on my back, and take some pretty keen photos! Keep reading for some details and pictures.

According to our friends over at Gizmodo, the latest seeded beta version of the 2.0 IPSW adds a much sought after addition to the feature list: Saving Photos from Safari! According to the tipster all you have to do is tap and hold on the image for a little bit longer than usual, and the dialogue will pop up asking you if you want to save (as seen in the photo above). This could be used for so many things, like saving backgrounds or contact images. I have a feeling that a lot of people will be using it for Le Porn, though. (sick bastards)
