Reviews, speculation, and other idle thoughts on hardware, software, firmware…
Via Blogdex as usual… This one being especially for Mike… Amazonster. An interesting social-networking idea for sure. Opt in/out mentality to go along w/ this of course. How public do you want you buying habits/history and some of that peripheral data. Not that it isn’t already all in there and (to a certain extent) accessible. […]
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 […]
Not with the model I have (apparently) but… As it turns out, some iBook owners are organizing a lawsuit due to some fault logic board ish. Black Cider seems to be leading the charge though there’s some significant pressure coming from Brandon Carolan’s PetitionOnline.com petition (in the top 10 even!). In a way, I was […]
Another Wired article that I just can’t help but post. This one featured semi-prominently in the current issue. Mega-huge huzzahs for #s 2, 10, 14, 19, 39, 59, 90. WTFs out to #s 5, 16, 29, 50, 71, 79-83 (except 82). (And of those WTFs, it’s mostly the “but how could it be any easier?” […]
One of those, “Here is an awesome article that I want to save for later” moments. Neat little number that spells out some web-design technicalities/techniques. Nothing new, I guess — but I did finally learn what “ems” are for on the web.
