CodeWeavers Releases Crossover Beta

 

There are more and more solutions for using Windows and Windows applications on new Intel Macs, some of those springing up seemingly almost monthly. The biggest solutions at the moment are the virtualization method (Parallel’s Workstation) that runs a compelete version of Windows on your Mac, inside of the Mac OS itself. The [...]

Shareware Roundup

 

I’ll be upfront and say that this episode doesn’t have the spit and shine that I would like to think come from my other ones. However, I go over some techy stuff with my external HD issues as well as review some smaller shareware apps that have hit the market in the last few [...]

Kyle XY Season Finale and SVU Premiere

 

Well, I got hooked on another show this year and I’m not sure how I’m going to live without that.  For those that haven’t seen or heard about my newest TV obsession (and I don’t ever, ever watch TV, unless it’s Law and Order SVU) this was a big deal for me.
The season finale was [...]

3 New Mac Ads

 

Always nice to have new and funny commercials. This one isn’t the best of the bunch, but I like the fact that PC is in a wheelchair because of his powercord incident. Funny, I just imagined him to be a desktop…..

Podcast A Little Late

 

Well, seems that with school getting started this last week, there was a lot of activities to take part in and lots of people to meet up with since last semester, so I’m just saying that this week’s episode is running behind.  As in I haven’t even started recording yet.  Alas, I’ll try to make [...]

There are links at the bottom of this page to get the rest of the codes. Pretty helpful article actually.

Notebook Batteries

 

I’m hoping that there is someone out there reading who is a bit more knowlegable on this matter than me.  Question being, exactly how hard is it to design and produce a notebook battery that you don’t have to recall?
Apple is constantly recalling batteries from previous generation laptops, with the FCC just clearing the 15″ [...]

VideoCast Dead

 

Well, I went through a lot of trouble (not really, but I did make a big fuss) getting the videos separated from the audio episodes for the podcast.  However, after getting the vidcast up and online, I’ve only published one episode and they’re just aren’t that many people subscribing to it.  So, I don’t feel [...]

Tip: Quickly Resizing Images

 

I have to resize images all the time for use on the web. Ecto, the blogging application that I use most of the time, has a built-in feature to do this. However, for other times, it’s much easier to just resize the image and use it at 100% it’s size, and not have [...]

Pluto No Longer a Planet

 

I don’t often sit down and ponder if what great men before me have decided to be true, is in fact true. Evidently astromers have had quite a bit of time on their hands in the last few years, enough time to debate whether or not Pluto is indeed a planet. Time to [...]
