BBC News 24 made an awesome mistake earlier this week. They planned to interview Guy Kewney, IT expert and editor of newswireless.net, about the recent decision in the court case of Apple Computer vs. Apple Music. While Guy waited in the greenroom, producers accidentally grabbed his cab driver who spoke very poor English, and who […]
Up all night… long story. Wrote this.
For years and years I searched for a decent backup software for Mac. Because I was never able to find anything that did what I wanted it to do (I’ll explain in a second) I mostly backed up manually, and very infrequently. This is a bad, bad practice. You […]
I have been planning to write up a post about essential Mac software for a little over a week. A friend of mine is new to Mac and just bought a MacBook Pro. He is, of course, asking me many questions about software, and “how do I do this?” and “How do I do that?” […]
iAlertU is a sweet, sweet, (though mostly useless) application for use on motion sensor enabled MacBook Pros, that simply adds a cool motion detector alarm system. Once activated, if somebody moves the MacBook, a screeching alarm sounds. Before watching the video below, I hoped to myself that the developer would have had the inspiration to […]
I’ve owned an aluminum Powerbook G4 for some time now. I traded in my Titanium in February of ‘04. For the most part, it has been an incredible machine, and still performs very, very well.
Two weeks before I left for Dubai, my Airport card just stopped working. It stopped showing up in the control panel […]
I have wanted a pair of decent looking, good performing, bluetooth headphones with iPod controls on them FOREVER. The only shit that has been available have been huge, nerdy, white, shit that I just don’t want. Finally TEN Technologies has released this very nice set of black headphones, the TEN Naviplay Bluetooth Headphones. Bluetooth, iPod […]
OK, so the new iPod is incredible. I don’t know exactly why they dropped firewire support entirely, but the USB 2 seems to be working fine. One important thing to note that I have not read anywhere else: the new iPod is power rated from 5 - 30 volts. The old iPod from 8 - […]
The iPod video arrived today!!!. It shipped yesterday, but it’s here today. Holy sweet Fed Ex.
I took a bunch of pictures of the opening and unveiling and put them up on a flickr set.
I only had my crappy pocket camera, so the picts aren’t that great. Also, unfortunately, I don’t sync my iPod at work, […]
My new black iPod, 60GB, video and photo capable, it on it’s way, ahead of schedule. Sweet.
Virtually all of the rumors were correct. Apple has revved the iPod, adding video and other goodness, which I will be ordering today.
The new iPod has a 2.5″, 320 x 240, 260K color screen, supports playback of MPEG4 and H.264 video (with TV-out!) as well as the standard audio and photo playback of its […]
I still haven’t seen Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, but I plan on finding the time this week. I just found out that it was shot completely on a Canon digital SLR camera, sort of like mine, and edited using Apple’s Final Cut Pro. Absolutely incredible. Here is an excellent article and interview with the editor, […]
