So what’s up with themes on the Mac? Seems that we’ve all but forgot about them. Who’s to blame? Or are we just expecting to much? A few years ago a program called Shapeshifter was released and it changed the way we themed Mac OS X. It was now safe and easy. Soon after everyone […]

GoogleOffice : OpenOffice.org
Well I just heard the rumors this morning that Google and Sun were working together to make an Office application; Word, Excel and so fourth. I found it hard to believe, but CNet is reporting that it’s true! Under terms of the widely expected announcement, the companies will cooperate to make it easier for consumers […]
CoverFlow – Interactive Cover Art App
Thanks to All Forces for pointing out a great little application called CoverFlow. It works with iTunes to organize a searchable database of your music’s covers. It’s fun to play with and looks great. Even complete with smooth movement and other nifty little effects. It’s still in development but it’s a free download to check […]
Google Video Goes Flash
Finally, Google Video has gone Flash! No more downloading the Google Video player (PC only) or worrying about the video being in windows media format, or avi, or mpg, or real or whatever. Now it should all be in Flash and it should just work. Granted the downside is that the quality is probably less […]
Charamel Best Firefox & Thunderbird Theme
Nvu I want to use you.
Nvu is yet another spawn of the Mozilla family. This time, non-Mozilla employees ripped out Composer, the HTML editor that can be found in the Mozilla Suite. They then re-worked it into a stand alone application called Nvu. Now I was all excited to hear about this project. How could it be bad? Well I’ve […]
Camino’s cool, but…

Light weight, fast, looks great and all around nice to use. However, without spell check, it hardly gets used on my computer. The developers know that spell check is wanted, […]
Microsoft Office 12 – Forget What You Know
Some details are emerging about Microsoft Office 12. It appears to have a whole new interface that will take everything you know about Office and throw it out he window. The windows are now a gray metal look and it uses a type of tab system instead of the menubar/toolbar interface. Basically, it looks like […]
Firefox 1.5 Beta 1
It’s getting closer every day and today they announced Firefox 1.5 Beta 1! Now I haven’t tried it. When 1.0 was on it’s way out I beta tested everything. Now I have to much invested in Firefox to download and test. Especially since extensions don’t work quite well yet. Course, that’s what beta releases are […]
Opera Mac Mini Review
The other day was Opera’s birthday and to celebrate they gave out free licenses. First off, if you have to pay for a web browser, it better be darn good. After some testing and general web usage, I’ve come to think that it’s just OK. It’s very streamlined and visually appealing. Plus there are many […]
