Tha’ts right, folks. I’m not talking about Civ 4, the most anticipated version of the Sid Myer’s command and control civilization simulator. This is all about it’s older brother, bundled with both expansion packs and a few other niceties.
I’m just going to get the the point on this game, and save everyone a heck of [...]
While I am not sure how many there are, one thing is for certain - there are far more FTP clients than one person needs. This is a classic problem when looking for a piece of software. There are dozens of offerings, but which one is the best for what I need. Hopefully [...]
skEdit is the web developers text editor. While not nearly as feature packed as some other text editors in the Mac software market, I’ve been using it for two weeks and in that time it has easily saved me three months worth of work.
This Lifehacker post about encrypting text on your website using Javascript reminded me of some little known OS X-only software that I use on my websites.
Email Encoder from Closenit Sofware is a free and brilliant little app that weighs in at all of 68k. The basic idea is that you input your email [...]
Routebuddy has just been released, and in an effort to get in there before everyone else I just downloaded and gave the app a quick spin.
Firstly… why do I personally want a GPS / mapping app? A fairly newfound hobby of mine has been to start tracking walks and mountain bike trails using my Garmin [...]
Perhaps you’re still one of those people who uses MacUpdate or VersionTracker to get his or her software downloads? How passe? Nowadays we have I Use This. Now, no one is going to say that MacUpdate and VersionTracker are going down the drain, in fact they are both soaring with high user-bases and improving features. [...]
Whether you use Windows, or Mac OS X you are going to have a hard time determining which browser to use, which is right for you? Choosing a browser is basically like choosing a car, a car that will take you down the Information Super Highway. Between browsers that do nothing, to browsers [...]
Quake 4 is a new offering from our friends at Aspyr, and offers a lot of what we saw from Doom 3, but the technical improvements help to make the game much more enjoyable, and a cleaner experience on the Mac, where previously only our PC brothers could have fun playing. And, as frosting on [...]
I’m a bag whore. I’ve got piles of them laying around my basement. I’d buy one, use it, figure out what I didn’t like about it, and I’d move on to the next one. This went on for many years - drove my wife crazy! (”Another bag? you’ve already got [...]
About a month or so ago, I attended an Apple briefing on Microsoft interoperability using the new Intel Macs. It was a lot of fairly familiar ground, with Boot Camp and Parallels, but they also introduced a new product, still in alpha testing, from CodeWeavers called CrossOver that got me really excited because it was [...]
I have a PSP and I love it, but when using it with my Powerbook to transfer Videos, podcasts, music, pictures, what have you; there just aren’t as many options out there for it as there are for Windows. Now you can always just manually put all the files you want onto the PSP’s memory [...]
I know how many of you love to pimp your machine, your GUI, your programs, your OS; skins, mods, hacks, you name it. But as many of you probably know, getting the best programs, mods, and skins for your machine could be troublesome, and it’s a system of trial and error when finding [...]
I’ve been reviewing iView’s Media Pro 3 for a couple months now. It’s fantastic, and it has done wonders for my digital work flow. But I’ve started to write the review at least a dozen times. There are a lot of things I want to cover, but stringing them all together has [...]
Kula Software, developers of the fantastic blog editor ecto, have just released their answer to news readers. Endo, who’s name plays off that of its sibling, has a few refreshingly new and well executed features that make it stand out from the get-go. To begin with, the first time you launch endo, you are taken [...]
So I’ve been using Griffin’s RadioShark for a few weeks now and must say, I love it.
I’m generally not a big radio fan but this has resparked my interest…specifically with Jazz music. I’ve got some 3,200+ songs in my iTunes collection but don’t really know enough about Jazz to really find what I’d like and [...]
FlyingMeat has released an app called FlyGesture ($24.95) that brings together a combination of Mouse Gestures and Quicksilver (or any launcher) type capabilities. Essentially, if you’re more of a mouse-jockey than the keyboard sort, this may be the application for you. I gave it a quick run-through - mainly out of curiosity - [...]
I remember years ago playing the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, when it came out, on my Windows PC. It was a long time ago. I remember how all of the characters were just little colored blobs (even when zoomed in). The game was incredibly simple, but was still pretty advanced at the time. There were lots [...]
My iMac Core Duo has arrived, as the replacement for the original transition kit unit. It came as a complete surprise - I should have had an order confirmation and notification of shipping, but this unit just appeared out of the blue at 8:30am.
I’m not complaining!
First impressions:
Fast - even with the standard 512MB [...]
I feel like I’m drowning in photo applications lately - anyone else feeling the pressure on their chest also?
There’s been Aperture (though I haven’t sprung for that one just yet) in recent weeks/months, Adobe’s new Lightroom beta, iPhoto ‘06, and now I’ve got a copy of iView Media Pro 3 that I’m starting a [...]
I love this thing. Seriously. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t use it. It’s Altec Lansing’s iM7.
Whether you’re heading out to the beach or helping your wife out in the kitchen washing dishes, the iM7 has what you need to bump the jamz.
It’ll handle just about any make of [...]
