In Apple, Leopard on 30 October 2007 with no comments

I never, ever, never used the Dictionary app in Tiger.

But in Leopard I use it all the time. Why? Not only does it give me the boring dictionary definition (I’m only so vocab-ambitious) but it also zips off to Wikipedia to lookup the entry for that word.

In Mac ISV, Marketing on 21 October 2007 with 1 comment

Patrick McKenzie on his strategy to develop some sticky linkbait for his MicroISV:
