Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
With pretty much the rest of the web making all sorts of preditions and proposals etc. — all just generally speculating up a-flurry with pre-MacWorld stuff, I figured I’d join in. In my own way, of course. I’d rather not spend too much time on the headless iMac or the Think Secret lawsuit or even […]
File this under the “Semi-Mindless Pondering” department… I’m wondering how much of articles like this one and this one are hype. There’s a fine line between running out of stock because you didn’t anticipate the demand and attempting to cultivate an increased perception of value by engineering a stock shortage. I won’t profess to know […]
Best random “I-Never-Would-Have-Thought-Of-That-But-Damn-That-Works!” moment yet: Nine Inch Nails “Ruiner” > Golden Boy (feat. Miss Kittin) “Rippin Kittin”
Via Boing Boing: Article in the International Herald Tribune warns of the 100-110 volt only iMac G5. While I have yet to find any conspiracy theorists out there commenting on this as some kind of DMCA-esque regional lock-down, I’m prone to go w/ a more parsimonious explanation: To fit the whole computer into 2-inch think […]
KetelOne, thou art a harsh mistress… In my opinion, the iBook has but one major design flaw in the hardware. The damn battery pack falls out so damn easy. This was never a big deal before when it fell out en route and the in-sleep-mode OS X just heaves a great sigh and springs back […]
James Duncan Davidson has a neat little post about how iTunes actually kind of sucks in the LAN environment. His three major points: When playing from a remote iTunes, play counts and last played information isn’t kept. This breaks the “Recently Played” and “Top 25 Most Played” smart playlists. It’d be nice to manage playlists […]
As this project expands and meets head-on with this neat little nuance of Apple’s “plist” ish, I find myself at a fun little x-roads. To start with, there’s a whole lot of MySQL and PHP being re-learned at the moment. The funny part is, being an iTunes user, so much of my music collection is […]
Tao of Mac has a great entry about consistency and follow-through in the Linux community. An interesting read and timely in the light of my recent read of In The Beginning Was The Command Line…
Grudge match to the death. <found_drama v=’4.0′ /> vs. Apple plists. I’ll be damned if I don’t lick this son of a bitch. UPDATE: I suppose I should Google my challenges first. There’s always someone whose done it already, isn’t there?
The much predicted iPod Photo is a reality. I have but one question: Where’s the visualizer setting?
