People ask why I would want more than 2 cores since “nothing really uses more than 1 core”. Beyond developer friends who get to appreciate the beauty of a “make -j8″, plenty of other apps utilize more than 1 core. Beyond the OS itself, Adobe Photoshop and Handbrake are just two apps I use that [...]

I have my Boot Camp partition set up as a VM under VMware Fusion for those times I am out of town and want to get my gaming fix. Since Sid Meiers Civilization IV Beyond the Sword is not yet out for Mac, that gets played under Windows. Team Fortress 2 is another one that [...]

I have been using iCal as my calendaring solution since Apple’s move to Intel made running Office 2004 for Mac even more painful than before. Now that Office 2008 for Mac is now a Universal Binary, I made the move over to Entourage 2008 last night. I worked through some inconsistencies between the calendars and [...]

My RSS aggregator of choice is now free. This provides a compelling reason to use NNW in lieu of Mail.app or even the solid OSS Vienna.

I’ve been using Connect360 to stream photos, movies, and music from my G5 to my Xbox 360 since I bought the latter. Streaming from Macs to my Playstation 3 was not easy - for some reason I could never get EyeConnect to work correctly. What was annoying was that TVersity worked just fine from my [...]

Highly recommended, especially if you are dabbling with GTD.
We’re closing in on the 1.0 release! Remember, if you pre-order before we release 1.0 this Tuesday (January 8), you’ll receive a 50% early-bird discount. (To the 11,765 of you who have already pre-ordered, thank you!)
