One of the cooler functions of social bookmarking and rating systems is that the story can come from anyone. I posted a link to del.icio.us last night on Front Row running in the wild on Mac Minis and pretty much any other system and today it’s running as the second most popular story / link. … Read moreValue in Social Bookmarking
So as soon as I read the info and watched the video in my last post I could not help but think how I could get it going myself… well – it took all of 5 minutes to find the link and begin my download adventure. Front Row kicks ass! Even in the limited hack … Read moreFront Row running on MY Mac mini!
From TUAW, I see that Zeno (of the MacMiniCenter Wiki) has Front Row running on a Mini, which just totally rocks! This is the vision many of us had when the mini was released and it’s one step closer today. The implementation is still in hack mode, but certainly a great indication of what lies … Read moreMac Mini running Front Row!
A9.com Maps has a cool block view feature which combines Google Maps and images from the street. Block View! The link is the front of my office building in NYC…. wow! Technorati Tags: Maps, AJAX, A9, Google, Work
I’d certainly be open to making this work on PCs as well since I use wone at work and it counts against my 5 macs. We have 4 Macs at home and my work PC pushes me right to the limit as it is. When some new Intel Macs arrive, I’m sure there will be … Read moreExtending iTunes to all your Apple Machines
Interesting… though I would imagine that the crowd most interested in it are probably all using Flock which has integrated Del.icio.us. Perhaps we’ll be able to add another service, which seems like it’s possible but deactivated for now. What you mark in Ma.gnolia not only stays found but keeps coming back to you as your … Read moreMa.gnolia
APC Magazine’s Dan Warne reckons Apple is about to deftly round-house kick Microsoft’s media center strategy for six. First Apple leaves a mysterious header on the Mac Mini motherboard for a non-existent iPod dock connector. Then it brings out media center software and a video iPod at the same time. Then it recruits the head … Read moreApple lobs grenade into Microsoft media center camp
I’ve been using NewsGator Online recently rather than Bloglines and I missed the added feature of keyboard shortcuts for navigation until tonight — whoa! I really like this a lot and immediately moved back… well sort of as NewsGator does not seem to have an export function — not cool. NG is a bit more … Read moreBloglines Keyboard Shortcuts
I cannot say this enough: Aperture is the application for the photographic creative process. It is not an image manipulation tool like Photoshop, and it is not a toy like iPhoto. Aperture is a professional application from top to bottom that works with the photographer’s process. This program puts the technology where it belong — … Read moreAperture: Real workflow for professional photographers
I discovered my Nano had a broken screen while commuting home last night. I was just sitting on the train listening to a podcast and went to choose something else when it ended and found this. I can assure you that no extreme activities had been taking place. This is just crap. Now I will … Read moreBusted Nano
Flock continues to make me very happy in hours I’ve had a chance to deal. The Windows version is super fast! I love that I have the same sets of things on both sides of my browsing experience – well almost. I think Sync can be improved quite a bit, but it’s only .5 for … Read moreStumbleUpon
I love, love, love this. Donald Trump has zeroed in on Martha Stewart as the cause of the declining ratings suffered by his original version of The Apprentice. He says that confusion between the two has led some viewers to leave his show. Both he and producer/creator Mark Burnett think that NBC failed the franchise … Read moreThe Donald, Master of BS…
Flock has landed here in blogland…. I am posting this with the built in blog editor which is a very cool thing. I can see using this all the time. Flock integrates with much of what you might already be dealing with which what really drives my interest. It’s fast – seems stable and uses … Read moreFlock has landed!
Sounds like a very cool demo and I certainly like the sound of the UC.?In my work with Intel, I’ve gotten wind and seen some cool stuff as well though it usually lives in presentation rather than live and in person. Lastly, the Universal Communicator was a great idea, but I dare anyone at Intel … Read moreThe Future coming “soon” from Intel
Just your standard non-sensical bug for Mobile Windows users… I like how the added security features in windows are apparently the cause of the disconnect, yet it works when connected wirelessly vs. the local cable where it does not work at all. Nice. The software maker said some users of ActiveSync 4, the latest version … Read moreIn-ActiveSync
Walt Mossberg on DRM. Amen brother! For some activists, the very idea of Digital Rights Management is anathema. They believe that once a consumer legally buys a song or a video clip, the companies that sold them have no right to limit how the consumer uses them, any more than a car company should be … Read moreMossberg on DRM
Zatz reports cablecard 2.0 – which is two way if you’ve been tracking will be ready for deployment next year. Cablecard delivers a superior picture (no cable box compression) and the 2.0 version will give you two-way control so you won’t need a box for VOD or enhanced services if your provider supports this function. … Read moreCablecard 2.0 coming to you HDTV next year
This is cool stuff…. Nice to know it can be added for my commuting listening pleasure. CBS WILL DISTRIBUTE ITS FREE podcasts, from “60 Minutes” to the long-running soap “Guiding Light,” on Apple’s iTunes Music Store, CBS Digital President Larry Kramer said Monday. The extensive suite of CBS podcasts includes news, entertainment, and sports programming … Read moreCBS Podcasts through iTunes
Apple’s Apeture looks nothing short of amazing. Amazingly powerful and beautifully designed. Same price as Photshop… interesting. For my money, I’d rather roll with Apple.
One of my least favorite functions in Outlook in Tasks. Not only is it generally hidden from view, but there is very little you can do to integrate a task into your email work flow … at least so I thought. Through the 43 Folders mailing list I learned of a trick which is definitely … Read moreOutlook Tasks from Email
