Last night around 10:15pm EST, Andy Ihnatko and Alex Lindsay went live on the TWiT network for a special unveiling of the iPad! Turns out Andy has had an iPad in his possession for over a week. Here are some related videos & links:

And here’s Andy’s killer review for the Chicago Sun Times. A couple more days and I’ll have one in my own hands! How about you?

UPDATE: Here’s a series of videos that Andy did in NYC with Fast Company.

In case you missed it, Andy was on the CBS Early Show over the weekend. I grabbed it on the ElGato for you. Lot’s of tablet speculation… We’ll know what’s really up soon enough! Until then, here’s the clip:

Andy’s Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh Test Drive

Andy Ihnatko put up a fantastic demo video of his hacked for OS X Dell Mini 9. Since he mentioned it on this week’s show, I thought it would be appropriate to share it here. Enjoy!

MacHEADS The Movie – with Andy Ihnatko?

mayson — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:31:14 +0000

MacBreak Weekly host Andy Ihnatko (or look-alike?) was caught in the trailer of the soon to be released MacHEADS movie. If you really crank the volume, you can hear a faint “tweet”. Maybe that bird is in his hat? Watch here.

No show this week? Fear not.

Doesn’t look like a show is coming over the wire this week, but I have some consolation for you…

Andy Ihnatko was on the “Tech Night Owl Live” show last week. He comes on around the 1:30:00 mark. Here’s the episode and here’s the show site.

Merlin speaking at Macworld Expo 2008

mayson — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:48:50 +0000

MBW host Merlin Mann will be speaking at Macworld Expo’s User Conference US923 (aka Living with Data).

Here’s what to expect on January 16:

Session Description:

Our “always on” habits (and the technologies that enable them) have left most of us feeling stressed-out, anxious, and perpetually behind on _everything_ we do. We’ve ceded full-time access to anyone who wants it – we drink from a fire hose all day long, then wonder why our lips feel so chapped.

Merlin Mann parts the seas of interruption and procrastination to reveal the emerging skills that are re-defining how we choose to live and work over the next five years.

You will learn – How to begin regaining your time and attention – focusing where it brings the most long-term value to your world.

Who should attend – Whether you’re a stay-at-home caregiver or a startup CEO, you’ll benefit from learning how to build smarter walls and how to make faster decisions about who gets access to your world at any given time.

OmniFocus available at half price…

mayson — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:48:00 +0000

While Merlin’s out on paternity leave, I thought it would be a good idea to jump in and an let everyone know that “OmniFocus” is now available for pre-sale. It ships on January 8, but if you order now, you can get it at half price.

I mentioned this app as a “future pick of the week” in an earlier post (pure speculation though Merlin’s a contributor to the OmniFocus project). I’ve been using the “alpha” for a few months now and really like it. If you need a todo/project management app, head over to the site, download it, kick the tires, and get in on the bargain price.

Isn’t it getting to that time when everyone starts to get things in order for a new year? OmniFocus might come in handy…

Here’s a clip from the site:

OmniFocus is a personal task management system, designed to quickly capture your thoughts and allow you to store, manage, and process them into actionable to-do items. Includes Universal support for both Intel and PowerPC-based Macintoshes.

OmniFocus is still in beta. If you pre-purchase now at the discounted price, your credit card will be charged immediately, and you will receive a license code for the final version of OmniFocus, which will ship January 8, 2008. In the meantime you will have access to the weekly expiring betas until the final version is released. We will notify you via email when the final version is available for download.
