What do you watch on TV?
I haven't watched much TV lately -- lost track of what is "good!" I like football (college and pro) but that's over with for now, so let me ask - what do you find good on TV?
Financial software for Mac
Does anyone have a recommendation for financial software for use on a Mac. I have a very small business and also would like to use it for personal finance also. I have looked at online Quicken, Quick Books and Money Dance. Money Dance is setup like an app and free but reviews are not real good for it. I also read a few mixed reviews for Quicken and Quick Books also.

AT&T has begun to throttle back what they refer to as excessive data usage by region and are sending warnings to new users who are not grandfathered into older plans that they could be subject to additional fees.

Apple contines to gain marketshare - in Europe
Apple's numbers continue to go up while PC manufacturers slip back. Apple still has a ways to go, but for now, looks like the trend continues in Apple's favor.

As PC manufacturer's shipments have gone down, Apple's shipments have increased. Some think that the ultrathin notebooks to be released later this year that will run Windows will compete with the Apple MacBook Air and will show a reversal in this trend.

I take back some of what I said about INTUIT
INTUIT is not a completely disgusting scum ball company like
some of my previous posts have implied.

ARM-Powered MBook Air Unlikely
There were lots of rumors about the potential that Apple was developing an ARM-based MacBook Air, and whether or not it would run iOS, OS X, or both.
ARM Holdings is the name of the company that manufactures these small and efficient chips, and they're the choice of processing power in virtually any handheld, battery operated device today, including the iPhone and iPad.
Here's a Wikipedia link about them: view link
But putting an ARM chip in the traditionally Intel Universe? Not so much, apparently.

Looks like, at least for the foreseeable future, Tim Cook is staying in the x86 Intel World.

Snow Leopard and PPC apps
If you use OS X 10.6.something, and you have old, legacy apps running that require the use of Rosetta (the translator for the PPC-era oldies), then you may have a problem, IF you installed this Security Update:

As of now, I haven't seen any indications of a fix for this.

Business and the Mac
It never ceases to amaze me! I own a small business and have UPS as a shipper. When we go to the UPS website we can choose various report functions and apps that UPS can handle various things for us. Some of these aren't available for MAC users. That annoys me - I understand MAC users are few but I think companies are going to force us to go back to using a pc or we will be at a disadvantage in the business world.
