SKYFALL - Official Teaser Trailer
TIME: Time for Greece to Say Danke to Germany
Germany was an organizer of and is by far the largest contributor to the European Financial Stability Facility, which totals a staggering 726 billion euros ($924 billion). That number will rise and, when combined with earlier funds and loans, Germany’s share will easily exceed the country’s total annual federal tax revenues. Imagine the U.S. being willing to guarantee more than $2 trillion to bail out Mexico.

Schluss mit dem Wassersparen!

"We're no longer a PC company, we're an IT company."
That’s not IBM. That’s not HP. That’s Dell.
But you’ll notice the trend. Everyone is getting out of the PC business because it’s a shitty business to be in.
IBM was way ahead of the curve (and is reaping the rewards as a result). While seemingly insane at the time, HP had the right idea last year (then backtracked and got burned last quarter). Now Dell.
You often hear the argument that Apple will eventually be squeezed in their high-margin hardware businesses. That cheaper components will drive costs down and cheap products will win. But that “win” comes with an asterisk. It’s a short-lived win. Eventually, it will turn to a loss both figuratively and literally.
One of Apple’s strengths is the quality of their products, which allows for better margins. But their real strength is staying ahead of trends. Apple dropped “computer” from their name in 2007. They saw the writing on the wall. They still make computers, but they have long since become a secondary business massively trumped by other businesses (first the iPod, then the iPhone, now the iPad).
Dell lacked such foresight. Maybe it’s too late now, or maybe not. But I like John Gruber’s suggestion.
Update: As Jack Schofield points out, Dell actually did drop “Computer” from their name in 2003. The difference is that when Apple did it, they were actually becoming a different company. Dell was doing the same old — though they were thinking about getting into printers. Which is funny for an entirely different reason.

The Main Apple Doc
Apple has a lot of great documentation: from the very basic guides and tutorials down to particular API references. But for a very long time newcomers were wondering: where should I start?
Now you know the answer:
For iOS: Start Developing iOS Apps Today
For OS X: Your First Mac App
iOS guide is even better: it shows you all necessary areas from the beginning to the end giving relevant links at each step. Just start with first page and move on.

Dan Rodney's List of Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts & Keystrokes
Dan Rodney’s List of Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts & Keystrokes: “I like to figure out the fastest way to do things. I hope these keystrokes help you to become the power user that lies within. They should work on most versions of Mac OS (10.7 Lion, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.5 Leopard, and even 10.4 Tiger). I’ll be adding more 10.7 Lion keystrokes, so check back!”
