Apple Mail with iCal and Address Book

  • 9 Jun, 2005

I have an idea. Can anyone make a new Apple Mail application? Apple has the Webkit Open Source Project and it allows you use the tools that build some of Apples apps such as Safari, Mail many other OS X applications. So, couldn’t you then just re-tool Mail and create a better version? My idea […]

Intel and Apple – Who Cares?

  • 9 Jun, 2005

Ok, so everyone cares, however most are making to big of a deal about it. In reality, consumers don’t have anything to worry about. Apple will be switching to Intel processors in about a year and it is a big change. Big for Apple. However they are commented to it and have already created a […]

Labels for Apple’s Mail Application

  • 3 Jun, 2005

Labels in Mail have been something I’ve been missing ever since changing over to Apple’s Mail.app. However, I’ve found out how to create a script that allows me to set the color of (or label) a message. I’ve tested my scripts in Mac 10.3 Panther and 10.4 Tiger and it works great. I prefer how […]

Mail or Thunderbird? [updated]

  • 24 May, 2005

I’m once again questioning what email client is best for work. I love Mail from Apple, however it’s lacking in features. No labels, no smart folders, no priorities, no return receipts. Ok, so if you can’t tell I’m on 10.3 at work and not 10.4. Mac OS 10.4 fixes all those issues except labels. Still […]

Two WordPress Issues

  • 15 May, 2005

Since updating to 1.5.1, I’ve run across two WordPress issues. First… my referrer karma is blocking a lot of sites. I’m not sure how they are getting referred to my site, however I keep blocking them when they only visit once. My setting say that it should take four times, however something isn’t working right.

Who will save Fireworks?

  • 13 May, 2005

A few weeks ago we go the news, Adobe is to acquire Macromedia. As the deal gets closer to completion, I’m reading reports that Adobe may just drop some of the beloved Macromedia applications. Now I’m pretty sure that all Adobe cares about is Flash. Seeing as Flash killed their LiveMotion application years ago. However, […]

Real Web Browser Security

  • 12 May, 2005

No web browser is perfect. Hackers will always find new security holes and opportunities for the media to create press and scare you. What really makes the difference in browser security is the time it takes a company to fix the issues. Within a week of finding out about security related issues in Firefox, the […]
