Free Shareware Mac Apps Catch

  • 13 Dec, 2006

When I first wrote about MacAppADay, I wondered what the catch was. It didn’t take long to figure it out, however I still think it’s a brilliant idea. So what’s the catch? Temporary licenses. The applications are free and you are free to use them, with all features, as long as you don’t upgrade. Some […]

Using Optimized Firefox Again

  • 30 Nov, 2006

Once again I’ve fallen for this grand idea of optimized versions of Firefox. I’ve tried them in the past only to fall back on the default Firefox. But here I go again. This time I’m running both G5 and Intel optimized versions with aqua widgets. I have to say, seeing check boxes and radio buttons […]

Growl Present 1.0

  • 22 Nov, 2006

To go along with Tinseltown, my Firefox Christmas Theme, I created Present for Growl. Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you little pop-up notifications. I had always wanted to create a Growl notification and found out that they are quite simple. I took my […]

Free & Discounted Mac Apps

  • 14 Nov, 2006

It all started with MacZot a few months ago. The idea was to give discounted, and sometimes free, applications to Mac users. Recently MacUpdate jumped on board with the daily special idea and now MacAppADay is next on the list. MacAppADay is all about free apps and it sounds almost to good to be true. […]

I’m not even sure what I’m into yet but I’m now a member of MacHeist. Shhh it’s a secret.  I think.

Apple Support is Amazing

  • 19 Oct, 2006

I know I just wrote about how happy I was with my Apple Store Support experience, but I have to write a follow up. I just keeps getting better. Less than 24 hours after I took the iMac G5 in, it’s now home and working great. It got it’s hard drive replaced, it’s logic board […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

  • 18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]

iClip vs iClip Lite – Multiple Clipboards

  • 9 Oct, 2006

A while ago I was introduced to iClip. iClip is a multi-clipboard application that records about as many items as you want. It can save the last three or 10 or 20+ clipboard items. Seeing as I have a tendency to copy something, then copy over it before I used the first one, this is […]
