- New .Mac Webmail Interface ‘Coming Soon’ ★
-
Looks like a web app re-implementation of the regular Apple Mail UI. This is clever and quite an accomplishment, but I can’t say I think it’s a good idea to make the UI so remarkably similar to the real Apple Mail’s — there are too many people who are going to get confused about why they’re not completely identical.

- Greenpeace ‘Recycles’ JavaScript From Apple.com ★
-
Compare and contrast this JavaScript from Greenpeace’s new Apple sub-site to this JavaScript from Apple.com. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that they didn’t get permission from Apple for this.
- Ah, but the Zune Could Beat the iPod if It Had a Chain Saw! ★
-
The Macalope responds to an “iPod is Doomed Because of Zune” piece at SvenOnTech:
The remarkable assery of this piece is that Rafferty is not even taking the bad data points for the iPod (and you really have to try to find them!) and comparing them to the good ones for the Zune.
He’s taking the current features of the iPod and comparing them to imaginary future features of the Zune - a product you can’t even buy yet. That’s vapor^2!
- Arborist ★

- Greenpeace Anti-Apple Site ★
-
Greenpeace ups the ante in their crusade against Apple’s use of environmentally-unsavory materials in Macs and iPods. Their FAQ makes it clear that they’re not targeting Apple because Apple has a particularly bad record in this regard, but because “Apple should be setting the trend for a green future. If any company should do this it’s Apple.”
