This precious nugget of “insightfull” journalism comes from the Motley Fool who praises the rocketing rise of RIM, sorry BBRY stock prices as they rose from 13.02 to a dizzying 14.81 in the week of the Blackberry Z10 launch.
It’s a testament that some people might just have more money than sense but that doesn’t stop the enjoyment of watching an iPhone 5 get the microwave treatment. Far more entertaining than scratchgate propoganda.

Running windows on my Mac has been a godsend for me. Ok so it means I pay for 2 operating systems but that is a small price to pay to have Office running without lag and use some windows apps that aren’t available for mac. But the question I keep asking myself is what one is better, Parallels 8 vs Fusion 5?

“What do we do about the press? I mean the Wall Street Journal reporters get up in the morning, sell Apple short and then go write stories about us and it’s clear it’s a perception versus reality problem. They don’t know shit about operating systems they don’t know anything about tools, they don’t know what’s going on in the future they don’t know that we’re building icebergs and that you build them from the bottom-up”

Origin is Electronic Arts platform to enable PC users to download games to their systems. Today EA has announced Mac owners will be able to get in on the action in the form of an Alpha version of the Origin client. Don’t go rushing to the Origin website just yet tho.
To start with the Alpha is only being opened up to a “a few thousand” users in North America and Europe. You can get the client from the Origin web store’s demos page.
Also worth noting this is an Alpha and just in case you didn’t know those come before beta’s and can often come with their fair share of bugs. For those who get in on the action will be gifted with a free copy of PopCap’s word-forming puzzle game Bookworm in the My Games library. Even better news is that you can heel this after the final release
EA remarked that it hopes the existence of an Origin client for Mac will serve as a motivation for more of the company’s games to appear on the platform. That being the case, which ones would you like to see that aren’t already announced?
Welcome to the Origin for Mac alpha.
Thank you for agreeing to alpha-test Origin for Mac. Your input will help shape the best possible experience for future users.Before downloading the alpha version, make sure you are on a Mac that has OS X 10.6.8 or newer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Please note that the Origin Store tab is not yet live during this Alpha trial, but it will be live when we formally release the client. The service is currently in development, so functionality will be limited.

In a clip courtesy of EntertainmentWeekly, he’s seen having a heated debate with Josh Gad, who plays Steve Wozniak in the jOBS movie, and although it’s only a short snippet, it gives a general idea as to how both actors represent their respective characters.

Apple today posted its earnings for the final quarter of 2012, which was “disappointingly” the largest corporate earnings year in human history by a tidy margin, causing many investors to panic as Apple clearly circles the drain in what will be the first step in a short road to the demise of the most valuable company in the world (If Exxon hasn’t indeed surpassed it tomorrow morning).
Apple’s 13.1B in earnings this quarter was the 4th largest of all time according to the same metric.
