After 2 1/2 years, my iBook’s battery is pretty much dead. From lasting up 2 6 hours! (personally tested) it now lasts about 35 minutes. I was going to buy a new battery, or maybe a whole new laptop, but then I read about Apple’s battery recall My battery’s serial number matched, so it was [...]
We all know where Micro$oft gets their inspiration from, but this guy demonstrated it in a really cool way. The voice in this video is Bill Gates demonstrating Vista, the video is… well, take a look for yourselves.
Windows XP. It’s evil, but for now it’s still a necessity, an evil necessity. Testing sites in Internet Explorer, connecting to certain windows-only VPN’s, Gaming, there’s lots of reasons for a mac user to keep a PC in the closet. Now you can have Windows XP on your Intel Mac, with Apple’s Boot Camp (currently [...]
As all of you probably know by now (at least all of you that care), Steve Jobs presented 2 new Intel based macs in his keynoke in the MacWorld SF expo: the iMac and the MacBook Pro. Although better then the PPC versions, the specs aren’t as great as I expected, and benchmarks were used [...]

It’s ugly, it’s huge, (though the screen is only 17″) and it’s ugly (oops, did i mention that already?) but it has a flash card reader. it’s the iPC, known as Pendant LCDPC-7500 by Tangent. I won’t even try to compare it to the iMac, all i can say is that for an extra $4 [...]
So Apple released an update for Safari yesterday, version 2.0.1 but my question I can’t seem to find an answer to is, did they update WebKit? (Safari’s engine) Apple’s update information states: “Safari version 2.0.1 for Mac OS X Tiger improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications.” “improving website compatibility” [...]
These guys managed to shoot a 11 Mbit unamplified wifi connection over 125 miles, from Vegas to St. George, Utah, for three hours. Now i wish I had a good wifi signal and a 1 Mbit connection in my room, about 60 feet from the router… Read about it Here
A new build of WebKit, Apple’s open source HTML engine, used for the Safari Browser, Passes The Second Acid Test with score of 100%. the Acid Test is a test page by WaSP using complex HTML and CSS to test if a browser is standards compliant, if the browser passes, it will show a smiley [...]
There is no simple way to send HTML mail from within mail.app, if you set as plain text and type in the HTML, it sends it as text, displaying the tags. if you attach a HTML file, it sends as attachment (I tested it, hoping it would display inline, just like image attachments). but here’s [...]
I think I Finally understand what’s so scary about Apple’s move to X86 processors. Nobody will ever be able to say that Macs are much better then PC’s, as they will be using the same processors. yes, Apple will use better hardware like RAM and stuff, but the brain of the computer is the processor, [...]
I got the idea from a PPC2x86 countdown widget (code reused with permission from the author) I know it’s a little late for this… but the last month is still the most exciting! this widget will count down the days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining until the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood [...]
