Great piece by Kyle Baxter.

AnandTech has a gallery showing the different screen resolution options on the new Retina MacBook Pro along with the new, custom display settings pane in OS X.

I use the AeorPress Disk filter for one of my inverted recipes and it’s great. I do not, however, have a Chemex (I bought my dad one for Christmas a few years back so I get my chance to use it when we’re in Colorado visiting my folks) and so I never had a need for the original KONE filter. But the new one they’re making along with the whole brewing setup the guys at Able have come up with looks cool and fun. Count me in. (Thanks, Samuel.)

On certain Macs it seems to be causing boot failures, and the only fix is to reinstall OS X. It’d be prudent to wait.

Not much new — no USB 3.0 ports like the whole MacBook lineup got today, and still no Thunderbolt. Why did Apple even bother?

Nice. Looks just like an Apple TV but white.

Ships next month for just 20 bucks.

Ryan Block’s live blog of the iPad 3 event was great, with good and frequent updates with plenty of photos. I’m assuming his coverage of today’s keynote will be equally as good.

And, if you’re oddly nerdy like me and want several tabs worth of live blogs open all at the same time, then some other world-class sites worth following along with are: Macworld, The Verge, The Loop, and Engadget.

Nice trick (assuming you’re not using Launch Center for this). If you do use Launch Center, this trick still works well for the iPad since LC is iPhone-only.

Agreed.

In this week’s action-packed episode of The B&B Podcast, Ben and I talk about grilled cheese bacon burgers, shooting at cats with automated paintball rifles, what does “GTD” mean anyway, the craziness of Apple rumors leading up to WWDC, traveling with only an iPad, and using a Mac mini as a server.

This script from Gabe has significantly improved my daily workflow.

I just plop a file into a Dropbox folder (doesn’t have to be Dropbox, really) and the script will upload that file to my S3 Bucket and then copy the URL path onto my Mac’s clipboard. It took me a bit of fiddling to get everything working just right with my different S3 buckets and folder structures within those buckets, but once set up it’s fast and works like a charm.

Kontra:

One of the key ingredients of Apple’s spectacular success over the last decade has been the inability of its rivals to distinguish hardware from product.

Smart piece on why Apple is making money hand over fist on their “disappointing” products.
