Today at a Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave a keynote presentation in which he addressed working conditions at Apple’s factories in China, as well as the product philosophy of Apple.

He also announced that its syncing service iCloud now has over 100M users. Just last month, Cook said that the service had 85M users, making this a growth of 15M users in 21 days.

In his talk, Cook reiterated that iCloud is a “strategy for the next decade.” While this growth is impressive, Apple is looking at blowing the roof off with iCloud.

My favorite iPhone apps are usually the ones that are very limited in scope, but not limited in depth.

Today’s app recommendation falls in to that category.

HelvetiCount is a counter app for the iPhone. Fire it up, and your iPhone becomes one of those old-school thumb counter device thingie. You know, the kind you see old ladies using to count people entering a theatre before a play.

It is kind of hard to explain how this app works better than the developer did on the the website:

HelvetiCount is designed with the touch screen in mind. Tap to increment and swipe down to decrement the counter. Swipe left and right to switch between counters (up to 10 simultaneous counters). And, of course, you get audio feedback on everything–up/down counts, counter switch and overflow–so that you never have to look down at the screen and miss counting anything.

It’s great — easy to use, nice looking and full-featured.

It’s $1.99 in the App Store.

If you want to add an Ethernet card to your Apple ][, you better hurry — only a dozen or so of these cards are left.

I can’t decide if Sean Hollister’s voice is amazing or super creepy.

That said, the Droid 4 looks disappointing.

Sexy.

Holy moly.

Anyone else super sad they sold their stock?

This will totally save RIM, right?

When I (finally) upgraded to an iPhone 4S last week, I noticed that it would only sync via USB, regardless of what the settings were in iTunes or on the iPhone. My old 4 would sync fine, as would my iPad, but iTunes refused to connect to the new device over WiFi.

The fix? Reinstalling iTunes.

Sweet tip from Mr. Kelly.

Happy anniversary?

Yikes.
