Water Cooling a PC

 

This post just reminds me that there are people out there that really need those obvious warnings for product labels, like, “DON’T EAT, WILL EXPLODE”. This is an excerpt below from a message board about water cooling a pc. Read the full post here.

330mpg Hybrid

 

This has even less to do with computing news (personal computing anyway) but I find in interesting none the less. “Being able to go across the country on a tank of gas” must be part of their advertising. Read up on the article, it has some details on the car’s construction vs. costs, [...]

IE 7 Screenshots

 

Even though I haven’t used IE in well over two years, I still like to keep up with the latest happenings in the Microsoft camp. So, here is link to a page that has several screenshots of IE 7 running on WindowsXP. I believe I read somewhere in there that there is a [...]

iPhoto Thoughts

 

People all have different opinions about software they use, etc. Here is something that aggravates me to no end, and it’s not just iPhoto that does it. For the vast majority of Mac applications, if you close the window, the app is still running. This was a nuisance when I first switched [...]

Computer Virus 20 Years Old

 

Found this link out there on the net, thought it was pretty interesting. The article basically says that the first computer virus came out 20 years ago just a few days ago. Read the article to learn the particulars.

iLife 06 arrives

 

I received my copy of iLife 06 from Fedex today, so I’ll be spending the next few weeks working on reviews and podcasts for the site. I don’t have the review up yet, but the podcast for Garageband is up already. It contains everything in the review, and I actually have bookmarks and [...]

Universal Binary Logo

 

Just thought that I would show everyone what the new logo is going to be for the Intel Macs. Having the Universal logo shows that the program will run on either Intel or PPC, so if you’re even thinking about buying an Intel Mac in the near future, make sure that you start looking [...]

Slow Updates

 

Well, classes have come into full swing, so the site won’t be seeing the constant updates that I was pursuing over break. Once again, I ask that anyone that wants to help contact me and that would be greatly appreciated. The next thing posted, however, will probably be the podcast on iLife 06 [...]

Adobe Lightroom

 

Adobe’s competitor (early beta stages though) to Apple’s Aperture app is available for download from Adobe. Since Aperture isn’t free (neither will it run on my iBook) I decided to download Lightroom and give it a try. I’ll be posting my brief results from playing around with the app here shortly.

No More WMP for Mac

 

Even though this is no great loss for Mac users, Microsoft has quietly announced that it won’t be developing Windows Media Player for Mac anymore. They haven’t had a new version out to my knowledge in quite some time, and even at that, it’s a buggy piece of software by my standards. However, [...]
