Here’s a list of Mac Applications I use frequently (for the most part), and the ones I use less frequently are ones that I’ve found fit my target niche or some need perfectly:

Graphic design apps: Pixelmator, VectorDesigner, Photoshop, Digital Color Meter (available by default in utilities, few know of it)
Web development apps: TextMate Read the rest of this entry »

We all know that Windows can be a _slow_ operating system to run. Especially if you have kids who love to download music, files, videos, and possibly stuff you as a parent may not even want to know about. Well sometimes you find out in other ways.

One way you discover you have a problem is that Windows has become sluggish in comparison to how it used to run. it takes twice as lomg to run something than it used to and you have no idea why. Or perhaps random popups have taken over your system. These kinds of symptoms often point to one to three things: Viruses, Malware, or Spyware. All of these things are intruders on your computer looking to violate your privacy. So how do you get rid of them? Read the rest of this entry »

Woot for FedEx overnight! I now hold in my hands a copy of OS X Leopard and it is starting to install in a matter of minutes. Apple’s website still lists another 7 hours and 25 minutes to launch from the time it arrived! WOOT.

7 hours+ early

Here’s to you, iPhone Hackers

This video says it all. As I watched the list of applications come by with the theme music from one of Apple’s most well-known commercials I can’t help but wish that they would look back to their roots and open up the platform for those of us who always want to do more, just because we can.

I’ve installed Linux on my Xbox, PS3, tons of computers, and other pointless devices. I’ve installed Hackintosh (Mac OSX86) on my PCs just because I could. So of course, I am one of those who hacked my iPhone. What is my favorite application? Money. Yes, a simple program to track my receipts on the go so I don’t have to carry them in my wallet any more. Is that such a crime Apple? Is it really?

So again to all those who led the way in the iPhone hacking frontier I offer my thanks. Here’s to you, iPhone Hackers.
