And Steve Ballmer isn’t in the top 100.
Arrived yesterday at 11:09.
Had the old USB cable so I didn’t need to get one. Downloaded the newest software from Canon and up and running. The envelope printing is much easier than the old printer and the OCR works better too, not that I ever find much need for that. Used up the sample photo-paper and thought the results were very good. I’ll probably never buy any more.
Cheap, prints quickly and well, works with OS X 10.6.2. Ink looks dear but I don’t print very much.

Philip Elmer-DeWitt has an excellent article over at Fortune’s Apple 2.0 blog on Morgan Stanley’s The Mobile Internet seminar. The article is full of juicy tidbits, but here is the main course:
Based on past performance, according to Morgan Stanley, Apple is in the “pole position” in the race to dominate mobile Internet computing, which is supposed to be for the 2000s what desktop Internet computing was for the 1990s, personal computing for the 1980s, mini computing for the 1970s, and mainframe computing for the 1960s.
“Apple has a two or three-year lead” according to Katy Huberty, thanks to an installed base of 57 million handsets, 100,000 apps and 200 million iTunes subscribers with credit card numbers on file.
Another interesting tidbit that DeWitt spotlights is a diagram that compares Facebook’s 350,000 apps and 137% year-over-year growth with the iPhone’s 100,000 apps and 163% growth. As DeWitt points out, “The place where Mark Zuckerberg’s 430 million users overlap with Steve Jobs’ 57 million is the sweet spot of the mobile Internet. It’s here, according to Morgan Stanley, where we find the future of computing.”Be sure to check out DeWitt’s article, as it’s a great read, but if you want to delve deeper, you can check out the 92 slides of the Morgan Stanley presentation, the 659-slide “key themes” presentation, and the massive 424-page Mobile Internet Report, all in PDF format.TUAW”Apple has a two or three-year lead” in mobile internet domination originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Wed, 16 Dec 2009 09:30:00 EST.

Nokia’s response to the iPhone may work or not. Microsoft doesn’t seem to have one yet, and is pressed on the other side by Android.
My old (seven years next January) hp psc 2110 started the death rattle again today. After dismantling, cleaning and reassembling it I managed to print one postage paid envelope before it started rattling again. So I hied off to Amazon to find a cheap all-in-one with support for OS X 10.6 eventually settling on a Canon PIXMA MP270 with Prime next day delivery, and driver support for print and scan according to Apple. I only got through about two sets of ink on the old printer so I’m not worried about running costs.
Trying out the Bodum double wall glasses in the Tassimo to see if it really makes a coffee with three layers.
It tasted quite nice too.
