Via Tao of Mac: the DockFun! app is a nifty shareware app to manage, maintain, and otherwise rock-out w/ yr OSX dock(s). There’s a neat little Flash movie at the above link to show it off. After about 15 minutes of playing w/ it — it’s a neat toy. Possibly a powerful addition for anyone […]
F[ileV]ault. Love the concept. Hate the implementation. I’ve written a couple of times about my love/hate relationship with Panther’s FileVault feature. I love^3 the idea of being able to have all of my shit encrypted. Especially since the performance hit is soooooooo small. Some people have commented: “Well what do you need to encrypt though?” […]
“I told him ‘I know it’s absurd, but that’s Apple’s mentality, not mine,”’ he said. “Apple acts like it’s the Pentagon.”
Neat stuff, this address-o-sync … from the sound of it. Like the idea. Now we just need Rendezvous to catch on across more systems. And get this app running as a plug-in across a couple of different address book style apps.
The third installment of this rivetting series! After about a week or so of using these VNC-wares, I think I’ve got the knack and am pretty set with them and am ready to write up my report. osx2x-to-WinVNC: The first one I got going. And the one that seems to work best. On Detonator-3, WinVNC […]
So… osx2x on KetelOne and VNC on Detonator-3 later and we have success! The reverse of what I was originally going for… But just the same it’s a huge leap. The weirdest part so far is cmd+C’ing everything on KetelOne and then trying to remember that I still need to ctrl+C stuff on D-3. Paradigm […]
Glossed over it on Tao of Mac but returned to reading up on osx2x after a co-worker randomly chatted me in the middle of the day to ask if I’d heard of it. At first my wires crossed on it and i was like is that some alt x-window mgr or s/thing? not so much… […]
20 years of Macintosh. The Classic (full of puns, aren’t we?) Apple ad: The 1984 Ad. Note the digitally dubbed in iPod. That was a nice touch. UPDATE: Speaking of Mac historia: The 20 Macs that matter most … whatever that means. Some neat Apple company trivia, neat product shots from decades past, and interesting […]
Exposé on Windows. Everyone knew it would be soon. But maybe not this soon. Of course, Linux had the first clone. More geeking out… After trying drunk and at 2:30am w/ Eli to try and compile it on my iBook (results were inconclusive…), come to find out some kicked out a whoop-ass installer for Apache2 […]
Mike… Weren’t we just talking about the inevitable iDVR? Except that they’re calling it “iBox” apparently. Which is about as sexy a name as “iCrap” but whatever. So here is what MacOSX.com reports (re: tech specs): Processor: 500 MHz G3 ([or more likely a] 900 MHz PowerPC 750fx [like in the] G3 iBooks […] 512k […]
