The Beauty of Mozilla’s Prism Project

  • 15 Dec, 2007

Have you checked out Mozilla’s Prism project yet? It’s pretty sweet. Prism is basically a version of Firefox with no address bar, no icons, no bookmarks, nothing. It’s just a browser that loads one pre-defined bookmark at a time. It sounds a little weird, but it’s really useful. When you start up Prism, it asks […]

Hulu – Who Knew It’d Be So Good?

  • 6 Dec, 2007

I’ve been a member of Hulu for a few weeks now and I have to say that I’m quite impressed with it. The TV networks have really come together to create one great solution for internet TV. Hulu has a clean interface and is user friendly. It’s not over done with ads or extra stuff. […]

A Quick Look at Firefox 3 Beta 1

  • 20 Nov, 2007

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is out and there are a few nice new features. I took a few minutes and played around with it and here are my findings. The Install DMG still doesn’t include an alias to the Mac Applications folder. Come on Mozilla, get this one working please. Once installed, the new Mac […]

Six Small But Nice Leopard Features

  • 13 Nov, 2007

After reading Hawk Wings Five favourite time-saving Leopard Tips, I decided to write my own six cool Leopard items. These are small features, but nice none the less. Smarter Renaming of Files When changing a file name in Leopard, the OS selects just the file name and not the extension. Vary handy for those that […]

Mac OS 10.5 Leopard – Bad Kitty Cat

  • 9 Nov, 2007

To my surprise today, I filled up my hard drive. I had less than 500MB left! Shocked, I quickly tried to find out why as it didn’t make any sense. Then I saw it. After installing Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, via an archive and install, it seems he left behind a ‘Previous Systems’ folder. That […]

New Gmail Has Arrived

  • 7 Nov, 2007

A new version of Gmail is available. The only thing different I can see is a robust address book. It also warns users if they have Firebug enabled. Yikes! Have you seen any other improvements or changes? Check your Gmail account now and you’ll know if your in the new version if in the upper […]

Whoops, I just sent like 400 StumbleUpon Friend Requests

  • 2 Nov, 2007

It seems that StumbleUpon can connect to your Gmail account and auto-magically connect you with those that have StumbleUpon accounts. I thought that was cool so I did it. I didn’t realize that it was also sending invites to all those in my address book that weren’t on StumbleUpon. Since I have 419 random emails […]

Is GIMP cool or lame?

  • 30 Oct, 2007

I’m a big fan of open source, or alternative, software. I’m not a fan of paying hundreds of dollars for an application. Needless to say I’m not a big fan of Microsoft or Adobe. So what’s a good open source graphic design application? I’ve tried a lot of programs and now I’m looking at GIMP. […]

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 […]

Are you one of the many fans of the iPox Firefox theme? Well I’ve got a treat for you. I created a quick Halloween costume for iPox. It’s a few tweaks to create a black menu & address bar along with an orange bookmarks bar and a green tab bar. Kinda spooky right? // Image […]
