Following is a summary of the recent event entitled “Let’s Rock” from Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, SF; hosted by Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple.

Thought the developer half of the audience deserved this one. I’ve often felt the pain - have you? Any stories? I should really slow down with the brain-storm posts. Clicky.
I had somebody asking me why none of their shipment of Mac Mini’s worked with their standard microphones. I wasn’t entirely sure either, so I had a look around on Google for some answers. I soon found the answer in the MacRumors forum.

As some of you from Twitter may know, I tried to disable Windows Vista’s Desktop Window Manager for a few days to get used to the feel, and UI I am presented with on XP Pro, at work. I personally hate it, but it does its job, everything works seamlessly, and performance is through the roof!
