Disco Review

 

I haven’t been able to produce an episode in what seems like ages for various personal reasons, but I’m back this week with all the news to catch you up on the latest in the Mac community as well as a look at an awesome disc burning application called Disco that just saw a public [...]

Macbook Pros See Core 2 Duo

 

Just because I like to blog about all the latest and greatest, Apple did in fact bring out Core 2 Duo based Macbook Pros today. The rumors had been circulating but I didn’t really expect it so soon. Nice to be surprised like this though. Impressive specs and a great price. [...]

WWDC 2006 Session Videos Available on iTunes for Attendees

 

I received this email from the ADC team today, so it’s super exciting that I now have access to all of the presentations that I attended and even the ones that I had to miss because I had to choose between some great ones in the end. The source code and all the example [...]

No Podcast

 

I hate to say that we won’t be having a podcast this week since we didn’t have one last week as I was out of time and in general I just feel like I’m a horrible person. However, with work being as crazy as it has been (14+ hour days at Wendys, flopping hamburgers…I’m [...]

More Funny Apple Ads

 

I’ve started to really enjoy the ads that Apple is turning out nowadays simply because they are so humorous. Apple rolled out three more today and they’re all pretty funny, but the one where PC tries to make a home movie and we see his version next to the one that the Mac guy [...]

Aqua4iTunes 3.0 Release

 

There have been a few different apps and installers released in the last couple weeks in response to the interface changes present in iTunes 7. However, none of them were just perfect and didn’t allow any customization. There are parts of the updated interface that I liked and then there were parts that [...]

New Version of Ecto Released for Intel Macs

 

I use Ecto for creating around 80% of the posts for the site. While the built in editor for WordPress is adequate is some cases, the extra features that Ecto gives me greatly sways me towards creating posts for the site locally and then publishing them with Ecto. However, Ecto hasn’t had a [...]
