This Warping Thing; A Rant: Why don’t Apple Consumers Complain More?
Jul.28, 2004 in
General
Read MacFixIt’s latest about the warping aluminum powerbooks. This is mind-boggling:
Not a show-stopper The good news is that despite all the reports we’ve received of “warping” with PowerBook G4 units, we have yet to receive a report of this “warping” being serious enough to adversely affect the functionality of the PowerBook (e.g., optical drives [...]
AcidSearch

Jason points to a new Safari search tool, which would seem to trump Safari Keywords (my Safari search tool of choice) in the ease of use department: When you navigate to a new searchable site that you want to add to Safari’s search bar, simply go to AcidSearch, Edit Search Channels, New Channel, and [...]
Marathon!

Creative Bits is fast becoming one of my favorite new reads, as things like Marathon, one of my favorite pre-OS X Mac games, are constantly being mentioned, reminding me of free cool stuff that is out there that I can stuff in my Mac for a rainy day…
Bloglines…
Jul.27, 2004 in
General
So, in the spirit of less is more—or perhaps some other spirit of which I remain unawares—I’ve ditched my news reader, NetNewsWire Lite, in favor of Bloglines. This post made me think of it (although I arrived there from another link which I cannot remember… sorry, whoever!). In any case, now I’m all [...]
New Konfabulator with Konsposé Only Widget level…
Jul.27, 2004 in
General
Ripping back from Apple’s Dashboard, Konfabulator 1.7.1 has these two little notable tweaks amidst a bunch of bug fixes:
Added Konsposé Only Widget level (see Release Notes),
Added preference panel to gear menu with options for setting the Konsposé key and whether to use a simpler Konsposé for slower machines.
Coolness. Lock and load, everybody!
Make your iPod into a Universal Remote…

This is a very cool hack. Turns your iPod into a universal remote. Although, I must say, I really like the Phillips Universal Remote that I bought from Best Buy not that long ago. It actually controls EVERYTHING I have in my collection….
This Warping thing: The Return of the Warp…
Jul.27, 2004 in
General
MacFixIt is reporting on yet more warping 12-inchers coming out of the newest line of the machines. Class-action lawsuit anyone? How many production lines of the 12-inchers have been plagued with this problem now? My first ALbook was severely warped. I continue to see postings over at 12inchPowerbooks Yahoo!Groups about this [...]
RadTek Cases for your 12-inch
Jul.27, 2004 in
General
Ted Leung mentioned these MacTruck cases from RadTech this morning, which look to be pretty cool. I mentioned them to Jason, and he said he had just bought one, along with one of these. Pretty cool…if you’re into cases…
Also, two side notes: one, sorry for the sparseness in my OCD posting as [...]
Why Motorolla?

In case you hadn’t heard:
We had no idea: Getting iTunes onto Motorola cellphones
They definitely pulled this rabbit out of the hat: yesterday, the news leaked of the
V3, then Motorola announced that their upcoming phones with USB and Bluetooth will be able to pull music off of iTunes. It’s a bit of a blow to [...]
Secure Email
Jul.26, 2004 in
General
I just wanted to note that my .mac email is secure. If the email comes from me, it will be signed with a THAWTE sig and include the HABEAS headers. I am only pointing this out, because I myself have been receiving both spam with my email as the masked sender address and [...]
FreeiPod.com Pyramid scheme…REPORT…
Jul.24, 2004 in
General
Well, it’s been about a week and so far 13 people have signed up from my link, but none of them have completed any of the offers *cough HINT HINT cough*, so I still don’t know if I this free iPod is a real deal or a gimmick…
PowerPage brainstorm: Powerbook Power over Firewire…
Jul.23, 2004 in
General
This is brilliant:
Power Your ‘Book With FireWire
How about this for the next PowerBook: Apple replaces the traditional power port with a FireWire port and allows charging of the PowerBook over FireWire.
Then include an Airport Express with Firewire port for charging with every 12-inch sold. Great. Do it, Apple. Now!

I’m testing MacJournal (no relation to the magazine) as a possible means of posting to this site…
