Now this one is a must-have for whoever fortunate enough to own more than one Mac...
"teleport is a simple utility to let you use one single mouse and keyboard to control several of your Macs. Works on Panther and Tiger (sorry, no more Jaguar support).
Simply reach the edge of your screen, and your mouse teleports to your other Mac! The pasteboard can even be synchronized between the computers."
"Only a year ago, podcasting was an arcane activity, the domain of a few techies and self-admitted "geeks." Now you can hear everything from NASCAR coverage to NPR's All Things Considered in downloadable audio files called "podcasts". Thousands of podcasts are available at the iTunes Music Store, and websites such as iPodder.com and Podcast.net track thousands more. That's why the editors of the New Oxford American Dictionary have selected "podcast" as the Word of the Year for 2005. Podcast, defined as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player," will be added to the next online update of the New Oxford American Dictionary, due in early 2006."
It's a script that you paste on your homepage, when someone visits your site, the script detects whether or not the person is using the world's worst browser, if so, a message will appears on the screen and recommend this person to download FireFox.
You can choose from 3 levels of seriousness. For me, I'm going for the "Dead Serious" version for sure. I might even customize it a bit (see screenshots).
Dead Serious Visitors won't be able to access your site if they are using the world's worst browser
FliXPO makes it easy to download videos (including movie trailers, commercials, ads and other user-uploaded clips) for your iPods and PSPs. Best of all, it's FREE. So hop over and grab some clips and start filling up the storage !
If you are a Mac addict like me you would love every single product that Apple introduces. You would also agree that, besides all the great functions the Apple products provide, the products themselves are no doubt a piece of art.
Now check out this nice piece of Apple Cube Aquarium made with the real Apple Cube case. It's not the first of its kind but sure looks stunning all the same.
I'm happy enough with my Safari, but incase you're a Mac user who favors FireFox, you might wanna check this site out. There are a couple of Apple themes available for FireFox 1.5 already. Themes for older versions also available.
"Boing Boing stalwart Thomas Hawk tried to order a camera from PriceRitePhoto, and discovered that they company was fraudulently offering the camera at a low price, responding to orders by calling up customers and hard-selling them for overpriced accessories, and if they declined, refusing to fill the order because the camera was "out of stock."
When Thomas called to complain and threatened to blog about the incident, the manager of the store, Steve Phillips, was threatening and abusive. He claimed that he would have Thomas visited by the police, that he'd harass Thomas's boss, that he'd charge Thomas's credit card for the full amount and then not ship the camera, and so on. He did, in fact, call Thomas's boss and scream at him, too.
Subsequently, thousands of Digg users saw a story and clogged the PriceRitePhoto site and phones with calls and complaints about this behavior. Thomas found a review of the company describing a separate incident in which PriceRitePhoto required a customer to sign an "agreement" through which he promised to pay a $100 fine if he left negative feedback on his transaction with these fraudsters, and to unconditionally waive his right to a charge-back if the order wasn't filled (it wasn't).
Thomas reports that PriceRitePhoto also goes by the aliases C&A Marketing and TheCameraMall.com.
"I will make sure you will never be able to place an order on the internet again." "I'm an attorney, I will sue you." "I will call the CEO of your company and play him the tape of this phone call." "I'm going to call your local police and have two officers come over and arrest you." "You'd better get this through your thick skull." "You have no idea who you are dealing with.""
"Mirrors on the ceiling, check. Clean sheets, check. Faux sheepskin rug, check. Scented candles, check. iPod-docking station the size of a bed, check. Playlist titled “sexy,” check.
If this iPod compatible bed—named “Pause”— doesn’t get you laid, then you aren’t visiting PodDater enough. The iPod and a Bose speaker system fit seamlessly into the shelves, and the thing is made of New Zealand Rimu, for Pete’s sake."
Apple has just released the Broadband Tuner 1.0 yesterday and it's available for download right away.
This tuner "allows you to take full advantage of very high speed Internet connections that have a high latency (5 Mbps or greater). The installer tweaks some system parameters."
I don't even remember if my broadband is 3Mbps or 6Mbps, but I installed it anyway. Will post updates if I feel any differences later.
"MacWorld UK is reporting that iPod sales skyrocketed over the holiday weekend. Nano numbers "shot up" 95 percent for the black model, and 88 percent for the white. Best Buy sold out of both 4 GB versions, and Amazon reported the nano as their 6th best-selling item in the US.
Be sure to check out his blog - THEORY.ISTHEREASON (a neat name isn't it?), where he "ponders about social technology". I've found many of his articles very interesting and informative, definitely great resources to get you started blogging away !
Kevin is a Mac cult leader who works at the Educational Technology Center and thinks he lost his mind taking the PhD program at the School of Informatics, University at Buffalo.
And by the way, his true love Penny Seow, a Singaporean graphic designer who lives in NY, also runs a very nice blog called "Penny in a Nutshell". Her portfolio can be seen here.
And I'm still having trouble filling up my 60GB iPod photo...
But I guess a 1TB iPod would be cool anyway coz by the time it comes out, the screen is probably as big as the whole iPod itself and we get to watch videos and movies on it comfortably...
Tips from the designer: "Make sure you use the 'Send to a Friend' link to unlock the Mini Cooper (it's safe, it doesn't save your email address at all). After the first level, you can trick out your Mini with some classic paint jobs."
