In case you didn’t catch the info in the podcast this last weekend, I will be out of town early tomorrow morning through the middle of next week. So, there won’t be a podcast review this weekend, and most likely there won’t be a video next week either.

It took quite awhile for a Mac version of DivX 6 to come to light, but now there is a 6.5 release of this awesome product.
I’m sure there are some people that would easily argue that the DivX codec is much better than Apple’s pushed H.264, but for all practical purposes, I don’t usually see [...]

I mentioned a few posts back that I was having some issues getting a simple temperature reading from my CPU on my new Macbook.

I’m happy to announce that after playing around with Dashcode from Apple pretty much all day today, honing my Javascript skills, and tinkering in Photoshop, I can proudly announce the Mac Fanatic RSS Reader Widget .9b
