Leopard file sharing warning
There are times when I need to access files from home. With Leopard’s new Back to my Mac, I’m finally able to do screen sharing and file sharing. However, there are security concerns I have with it. By default, the first sharable folder is your public folder. Apple then adds three entries into the list [...]
Leopard, Day Four
I haven’t posted a lot in the last few days about Leopard since I’ve had a rather busy weekend at home. Here’s a recap: Windows I used BootCamp to install Windows on a dedicated 120GB Maxtor hard drive. Installation went well, except that it takes a long time for my Mac Pro to think about [...]
Leopard installation
Today’s the day Apple’s new operating system, codenamed “Leopard” is released. I’m not going to go into the gory details of the installation since I’m sure I won’t be writing about anything anyone’s not seen. Instead, I’ll be writing about what I find, things that maybe some people won’t know about. I’m installing Leopard on [...]
In honor of Leopard’s release
In March 2001, Apple started posting little animated GIFs each day we were closer to the release of Mac OS X. In honor of Leopard being released tomorrow, I present to you, all the GIFs that were made. Enjoy.
My Xbox 360’s blog (yeah, you heard me)
There’s this rather unique web site called 360voice.com which looks at your Xbox 360′s activity and writes up a blog about it, as if the 360 itself was writing the blog. It’s an interesting concept, but the way the blog is written isn’t anything like I’d write. “I had to set aside my plans for [...]
I got my ringtones back!
Ambrosia Software released iToner 1.0.3 yesterday which allows you to put custom ringtones on your iPhone. Thank. God. My biggest gripe with this whole iPhone ringtones thing is that Apple forced you to buy ringtones through their iTunes Store for 99 cents on top of the cost of the song itself. I’m not making apologies [...]
Is email impersonal?
Some people think that email is impersonal and that sending an email is probably the lowest form of communication. They apparently don’t know about text messaging. One thing I got from my mom is that communication in a relationship is very important, and she’s right. Back in the day, you had two options: phone or [...]
Yes, Virginia, there will be an iPhone SDK
Wow. I thought for sure we’d never see the day when Apple opened up their iPhone to third party developers. And yet, I suppose the hackers and their trebuchets, lobbying flaming rocks at the cold walls of Apple have finally won. Yes, Virginia, there will be a true iPhone SDK. As a developer, I’m thrilled [...]
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) goes independent
In the last few years, I’ve seen the record industry just not “get it”. Or, they want to use antiquated laws to make sure they can get every dime possible from archaic distribution means. They just don’t see the bigger picture. Growing up, sharing music meant taking the time to make a copy of an [...]
Sony moves ahead with Everquest movie
According to Variety, Sony has hired ’300′ writer Michael Gordon to write the adaptation of the videogame for the big screen. If you’re reading this, you don’t need a description of what Everquest is. I always thought the game had enough lore and backstory to make a damn good movie. Chances are, it’ll take place [...]
