Like I’ve stated earlier, my work is a Mac shop. This being said, we need to use Entourage, Microsoft’s email solution for Macs, to manage our exchange email accounts. Entourage defaults to putting your signature at the bottom of reply emails, but most people like having it right at the end of their [...]

For those unfamiliar with it, OOTP 9 allows you to play general manager of a professional baseball team. OOTP 9 adds a good number of new features, including [...]
It is that time of year again. Time to drool over the best designed apps for Macs and iPhones. Absent from this year’s list, Delicious Library 2, which won Best Leopard App last year. Let us know if you use any of these apps. My favorite thing about these awards is that you get introduced [...]
I find it sad that in the time past since the keynote very few bloggers or news have really understood what 10.6 promises. From what I know inside of Apple, they’re not kidding about improving OS X. Let’s take a quick inventory of the IT industry and what is about to happen in the next [...]
While there’s an awful lot to like about MobileMe (tight iPhone integration, web apps that look like they’re going to be awesome—this second point is big considering I usually dislike web apps), there are some parts of .Mac we’ll have to say goodbye to. Here’s an excerpt from the MobileMe FAQ:
Are any other .Mac features affected?
As [...]
About a year ago, I mentioned how eventually you could have GarageBand in your pocket thanks to the iPhone. Today, we’re one step closer with Beatmaker and Band, two new applications for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
There were some critics of this idea since the total capabilities of the iPhone were not fully [...]
Two former Apple guys, one from the iPhone team and one from the iTunes team have created an online slideshow creator. that opened in public beta today. You can try it out and see if you like it better than PowerPoint, Keynote, Slideshare, Google Presentations, Sliderocket, or Zoho. I took one for the team [...]
Ambrosia, the developer of one of my favorite applications, Snapz Pro X, has released an update for the extremely popular iPhone custom ringtone tool, iToner. iToner is a ringtone creation software application. If you’re an iPhone user who would like to have customized ringtones I recommend that you check out the iToner application.
I really enjoy [...]
If you’re experiencing desktop clutter on your Mac, like myself, you might want to check out Drag Thing. On June 4, 2008 they updated DragThing to 5.9.3. I really like this application since it helps me remove the clutter from my desktop. yes I admit it at times I can be a virtual packrat, [...]
Zoho is an office productivity suite that is entirely online, just like Google Docs, only with more stuff you can create (invoices, CRM, Projects). Raju and company recently redesigned the interface to work better with an iPhone. Writer, Creator, Sheet, and Show are supported. It looks pretty good, and works fairly well. When I [...]

“DesignPro offers Mac users one software program that has the flexibility and creativity to design and print the broad range of Avery products,” said Peta-Gaye Latibeaudiere, Senior Product Manager [...]
No run-up to Macworld Expo or WWDC is complete without the spy shots of the banners inside San Francisco’s Moscone Center, and this time is no different. No making the rounds is a Flickr photoset of banners hung outside the keynote hall posted by Gernot Poetsch. One in particular is especially interesting. It shows two banners: one referring to [...]
When Mac OS X 10.5.3 was released at the end of last month it was a massive download, tipping the scales at 420 MB. Unfortunately with the Mac OS X 10.5.3 update we didn’t see the three known iCal bugs resolved but we saw numerous fixes which made many Leopard users happy; however, others faced [...]
The long-discussed “Versions” for the Mac is now open for anyone to download, for free (for now). It’s pretty slick. It’s not as awesome as the hype built it up to be, but it’s definitely worth checking out.
Versions is an app that provides a strong GUI front-end for the “svn” (Subversion) command-line application. I, [...]
It seems just like yesterday that we were celebrating Leopard’s release. But if rumors hold true, we could be celebrating another big cat’s release come January 2009. According to a rumor first spotted over at TUAW, Apple may be planning to unveil Mac OS X 10.6 at next week’s WWDC in San Francisco, with a [...]
I have a whole batch of criteria for what makes it in my dock and gets tossed. I know we all have something that makes us promote an application to its often-clicked life in the Dock. I thought I would share some of mine and also see what readers do with their Dock icon set. [...]
While puttering about this morning, I noticed in the notes for Delicious Library 2 - yes, I use it, and yes, I know I don’t really need it - that it prefers 10.5.3. ‘10.5.3?’ I asked myself. ‘But that’s not out yet….’
Ah, but Software Update says it is! Bringing a host of fixes, including the [...]
It may be the most anticipated app of the year, and it is finally here. Delicious Library 2 catalogs all your stuff. I own Delicious Library 1 and use it to help catalog all my books. Wil Shipley, the developer, says that this will catalog even more than just your books, movies, and CDs. [...]
Many people still have not made the “Leopard leap” and upgraded to Apple’s latest operating system. And of those who have, I am sure there are many that are either not using Time Machine, or want an off-site backup system. It is nice to be able to back up all your stuff to a backup [...]
I have a fairly large music and movie collection, and a fairly nice TV/stereo setup in the family room. To watch my movies and listen to my music on the good TV and stereo I could hook my Macbook Air up to the TV each time, but who wants to do that? Fortunately, [...]
