How To Spice Up Your Screen
I’m often asked where I get the wallpaper for my MacBook, iPhone or iPad. While sometimes I use wallpapers of my creation, most of the time I use someone else’s excellent work to decorate my screen. Over the years I’ve used different sources, but the one I’ve used the most is InterfaceLIFT. They have the best collection of wallpapers, or computer screen backgrounds, I’ve found to date and all of them are FREE.
What’s even better is that InterfaceLIFT has a wallpaper not just for every mood, but for nearly every type of device. There are many different screen resolutions for computer monitors, but they have one to match all the popular sizes. That means you can download one that works great with your monitor. If you have a smart phone, they have a background for your screen size and resolution. Want cool images to appear on your HDTV, they have plenty of background that work at those resolutions as well. If, like me, you have a few Apple branded devices then InterfaceLIFT has you covered as well. (more…)

Time To Watch the Keynote
Okay, I’m done with work. Now time to have some fun. Lots of changes, especially to iOS from what I’m hearing. iCloud, from what I’ve heard, steals the show but won’t be available for several months. From Apple’s website, nothing has actually been released yet; just all for developers.
If you want to watch the Keynote you can find it over on the Apple Website. Should be on iTunes in the next day or so. It seems to trail by about 24 hours after going up on the Apple website.
WWDC 2011 Keynote Now Available
Normally you have to wait until the end of the day for a special event video from Apple to be available. I rely on that small fact. This year the powers that be decided to post the link early. See how they treat the faithful? Maybe you can watch it now; but I have to wait.
This link is direct to the video. Enjoy!
WWDC 2011 Starts Tomorrow!
Tomorrow WWDC begins with a keynote from Steve Jobs and company. Much is going to be discussed and while we don’t know the specifics, we do know the topics of discussion.
First there will be Mac OS 10.7, codenamed “Lion.” This is the version of Mac OS that incorporates that which has been learned through several years of iOS development and feedback. Many features that we see in today’s iPad will be seen in tomorrow’s Mac OS.
Next up will be iOS 5. While we know a great deal about “Lion,” and even had several developer’s previews; we have seen nothing of Apple 5th iteration of the iOS. Many rumors abound and many pundits know what they want to see; but we really don’t know what will be in it or when it will be released. We do believe that both “Lion” and iOS 5 will work very closely with iCloud.
The final “known” topic of discussion will be “iCloud” which is apparently the name for Apple’s rebranded web services. What any of it will be is a total mystery; but many do think that music will be involved, maybe video and most likely user data. MobileMe probaby won’t go away, but will end up under the iCloud umbrella. Since iCloud is being released at a developer conference, it seems likely there will be an SDK. That means we may see by the end of 2011 much more than just what Apple will give us. (more…)
