Well, it’s not much of a secret that I’m an Apple Zealot. I admit it right away. Apple’s hardware and software far exceed that of any other company in the industry, no exceptions. A bit more recently this is starting to become a more common mindset. Hixie recently admitted how Mac [...]
Google supports a handful of file formats. Yahoo supports a fair amount of what I use on a normal basis. The biggest missing is Thunderbird and Firefox.
Now when is Google going to get updating? Are they going to let Yahoo come in and steal their thunder?
NVU 0.50 has been released by Daniel Glazman. Awesome new build. Some cool new features. Spell Checking is my favorite (and hope to see it in Thunderbird soon).
My real pet pieve is this:
Spell checking invokes to early. It should invoke when you press space, or return, not when your still on [...]
Business Week’s Alex Salkever has an interesting article about Apple creating it’s own Skype like system. I’ve talked briefly about Skype before. I’m a huge fan. It’s a solid product. But Apple should take it to the next level. Allow me explain:

I installed Windows XP SP2 today (yes, a day early). More in a day or so, when I really get a chance to kick the tires.
So far, no issues to report.
I rarely do software reviews, but thought I’d quickly give a mention to Skype.
Skype is not VoIP, but allows you to voice chat with other users. For free. But it’s better than it’s competitors.
AIM has “talk” but it doesn’t work behind any firewalls. Quality isn’t great. Yahoo works behind [...]
It’s out. Get it now.
Here’s an idea: everyone try and turn on at least 1 person to Firefox today. More if you can. Lets see how great M.O.’s FTP mirrors are! So come on, get someone who hasn’t used Firefox today to take the plunge. Tell them [...]
Pizza via command line. Could it be any better than that?
Hopefully Domino’s in my area will support online ordering sometime in the future.
On the technical side, it’s written in perl, so it should run on most Operating Systems. I’m curious if someone will hook up a UI to it.
Yummy command line. I [...]
Title says it all. Download Now. Super good release, and it’s only getting better from here.
