New in iTunes 9: Sync libraries with multiple computers

September 9, 2009

For me, the most exciting announcement from today’s Apple event was the introduction of Home Sharing:

Home Sharing brings iTunes synchronization to a home level. Up to now, it hasn’t been easy to synchronize iTunes between multiple computers without the use of scripts or third-party applications. Now up to five authorized computers in your house can [...]

Manually add websites to Safari 4 Top Sites

February 25, 2009

From MacOSXHints.com:

There isn’t an obvious way to add sites to Safari 4 Beta’s new Top Sites page, but this is a Mac after all, so it occurred to me that drag and drop might work, and it does

Cool. Now it might become useful. Probably not though.

On VoodooPads, everything buckets and great discoveries

February 25, 2009

A comment on Buzz Anderson’s response to Alex Payne’s post about everything buckets is just about where I am:

I’m late to this discussion… but aren’t you and Alex talking about different things?

Alex never mentions VoodooPad in his article, and if you are creating links between VoodooPad pages then aren’t you using it as more than [...]

Review: First look at Safari 4 beta

February 24, 2009

Apple released their first public beta of Safari 4 today, and being the app junkie that I am, I gave it a spin.

My overall impression: Safari 4 has some good improvements — the least of which is not speed — but has nothing revolutionary.

Tabs: The most [...]

February 19, 2009

I’m a big fan of Hulu, love my AppleTV and often rent from the iTunes store. I’ve got a Netflix account whose Watch Instantly queue is filled with old movies and television shows (currently working my way through Quantum Leap). And, yes, I run Boxee on my MacBook, MacBook Pro and on my AppleTV.

Rating systems that are simpler

February 15, 2009

I rarely rate things (i.e. songs, photos, etc.) but I rely on the ratings when doing research on some things, mostly apps, books and movies.

So I found this from stevenf pretty interesting:

As soon as an app has been rated more than once, it becomes mathematically very unlikely that it will ever see a 1 or [...]

Under the hood of Twitterific

February 3, 2009

For those who love Twitterific, here’s an interesting article from Jason Snell at MacWorld about how you can get under the hood of Twitterific and make it more powerful.

You’ll need to be at least comfortable with using the command line, and you’ll actually have to read to the bottom of the Read Me file (which [...]

Hitting the high notes of Apple’s Keynote

January 7, 2009

So some think this year’s Macworld keynote was lack-luster, that Apple disappointed with their announcements and that iWork 09 is nothing to get excited about.

Don’t count me in that group.

The releases in this keynote — save the announcement about updating the 17″ MacBook Pro — were aimed at everyday consumer users. And even power-users or [...]
