See a video clip here for an example.

So you downloaded QuickTime 7.0, but don’t see any reason to test it out or you just don’t have any material to test it out with. Well Apple now has 4 movie trailers on their site made for High Definition.

My wonderful Klipsch speakers blew out yesterday and although I wasn’t searching for a new pair I came across these bad boys on the Popular Mechanics site. I don’t know about the sound quality, but for a home theater system these would really kick some ass.
When they say flat, they really do mean flat, but [...]

As long as we’re hemorraghing Apple-related posts, I might as well throw the epic battle of iPod vs. The Cassette into the mix. It a humorous comparison using size, cost, a drop test, and a water test to pick a “winner.”

Boy, would this article be helpful if I had a Mac, and Apple had just released a new version of their operating system. At least there is a new operating system version — as if you could have missed that piece of news in the last couple weeks.

Every year it is the same: you [...]

I have already posted about the ShortStat widget. More and more seem to be popping up as Tiger is getting installed by Mac users everywhere. Well, here are two more that may interest you.

Have you installed Tiger yet? Have you checked out Mail yet? Do you hate the new jelly-like buttons? Cage Fighter can help you get rid of them. It just removes the little button background graphics and changes the highlight color, so that it looks a little nicer and matches the rest of the OS instead [...]

Quality moderators
Prelaunch content so that the forums do not resemble a ghost town and look active.
Branding so that the forums match the main site
A link from the main site to the forums so that your [...]

Fifty million, that is. In just under 6 months, Firefox has been downloaded over 50 million times. That has got to be some new record for open source projects.
To commemorate the event, Mozilla has released a limited edition of Firefox 50 coins.
I wonder, are they counting downloads of the updates as well? How does that [...]

I know how it goes. You woke up on this beautiful Friday and thought to yourself what in the world would Pi look like if you could see it go to one million decimal places. It’s okay because I was thinking the exact same thing and look what I found. This page actually shows Pi [...]

Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner’s office. Wanamaker’s emaciated body was found by Loraine, [...]

Start-up Orion Multisystems has begun shipping computers for those engineers, graphic designers and biologists who need 96 processors and 192GB of memory at their desks.

How they are able to control the heat and noise from that thing I have no idea, but gimme a chance to play a game that can utilize all 96 processors [...]

Always great to see a heading like that huh? Well that is the one used for this article over at CNet. It seems that Longhorn will have the ability to scale down so that it may run decently on older PCs. To be honest I don’t think asking for 512MB of RAM is too much, [...]

Do you run a network where people are allowed to use AIM to message each other? Have you ever wondered what these people are talking about? Well now you have the ability to keep track of all AIM conversations on a network with AIM Sniff. Screw privacy, I need to see who Tracey has a [...]
