Now on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard!

  • 27 Oct, 2007

I stood in line last night like a good Apple geek to get Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and a free t-shirt! I installed it this morning and it’s running great. I did the archive and install option and it’s all wonderful. I love the new dock and the rounded corners on the menus. Small things […]

Mac Like Firefox Themes

  • 11 Oct, 2007

If you’ve ever wanted a good Firefox theme to match the look of your Mac a bit more, there are lots of developers out there trying to make this happen. The best one, if you are actually on a Mac, is probably GrApple by Aronnax. His attention to detail is amazing. Other good choices are […]

  • 10 Sep, 2007

With the release of the iPhone, many software companies are releasing iPhone versions of their applications. Even though you might not have an iPhone, there is still a chance that you can use them with Firefox’s sidebar. Firefox’s sidebar is and odd place to load a web page, however if you manage your bookmarks, there […]

Does Webkit have a bug or are Mac programmers missing a step?

  • 5 Sep, 2007

Apple’s Webkit is being built into all sort of Mac applications, however they all seem to share data and I don’t feel they should. As an example, if you log into your Google account in Safari, Shiira is also logged in. And it doesn’t stop there. GCal, CSSEdit and Journler all use webkit too so […]

iPod touch Should Be iPod PDA!

  • 5 Sep, 2007

With Apple’s new announcement of iPod touch, I’m ready to buy! (Wife, ignore that.) iPod touch is basically an iPhone without the phone. Perfect for me as I don’t want to go with ATT. It has a multi touch interface, Wi-Fi and iTunes Store on the iPod! I think I’m in love. Even better yet, […]

GotMail – Email Growl Notification Style

  • 29 Aug, 2007

I decided the other day that I wanted a new, cool Growl notification style for when I receive new email in Thunderbird. Instead of creating a Thunderbird specific one, I decided to create a generic one for email. GotMail is the Growl notification style that I came up with. It’s simple in nature, but does […]

As I sit here at SES in San Jose with my MacBook Pro, battery power is one thing I’m keeping an eye on. I did some research before coming on how to save batter power, but I’m looking for more tips. Here’s what I have so far: Turn down the screen brightness as far as […]

What happened to SpyMac?

  • 5 Aug, 2007

I can remember a few years ago when SpyMac was all the rage. It was a very up-and-coming Mac community that tried to do everything and with style. Now it seems like a social media crash site. I guess classic SpyMac is a better representation of what it use to be. It was a huge […]

One Week With My Microsoft 5000 Mouse

  • 27 Jul, 2007

When my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling down, I was sad. When I broke it trying to clean it, I was depressed. But now I have a Microsoft Wireless 5000 Laser mouse and I’m pretty happy once again. I’ve never been a Microsoft Fan. I refuse to install Word or Excel on my iMac and, come […]
