Obligatory Tiger review

Monday, May 2nd, 2005

OSX 10.4 Tiger has graced both my mini and iBook, for about 72 hours now, overall I couldn’t be happier with 10.4, with one exception, but I’ll save that for last. I opted against the whole Apple store at the maul routine, for one I wasn’t feeling very crowd’y and secondly Fry’s electronics was selling [...]

Quicktime 7 for Mac OS X 10.3.9

Friday, April 29th, 2005

In case you have no plan to immediately upgrade to Tiger or are simply being forced to wait (Thanks Amazon) until next week, you can still download and play with Quicktime 7 via Software Update. QT 7 has H.264 video compression, amazing responsive live player resize, up to 24-channels of sound and all new playback [...]

Preparing for Mac OS X 10.4

Friday, April 29th, 2005

MacFixIt has a good read on prepping for your Tiger upgrade. My plan had been an archive and install on my Powerbook since that is the system that gets the most use and abuse. The mini is still new enough that I am planning a straight install… It’s safer to go Archive and Install so [...]

Delicious Library 1.5

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

The guys over at Delicious Library have Tiger are Spotlight support, five new native languages and various bug fixes. If you have a largish CD, DVD and or book collection and either an iSight or Logitech USB Webcam, I wholeheartedly recommend Delicious Library. Just don’t blame me when you start frothing at the mouth searching [...]

Updated Sonica Theater USB drivers

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

M-Audio recently updated the driver for the Sonica Theater USB, of which I know many of you have (that and the Sonica Transit). I can honestly say that with 10.3.9 I finally beat my DTS demons, but if you’re still having problems, the updated drivers claim a DTS fix among the list of improvements. – [...]

OSX 10.3.9 Update released

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

I was just finishing up an article, and decided to hit update before I shut my iBook down, and lo and behold 10.3.9 was available. A few of the items mentioned in the update text are as follows: File sharing and directory services reliability for mixed Mac and PC networks. Mail, Safari and Stickies application [...]

Participatory Culture Foundation

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

This sounds awesome and basically what I was talking about earlier today (at my other site) except it will be done by the consumer… not the broadcast networks. That said, if Downhill Battle is successful at getting this software distributed on release, it would make a great platform for an existing content creator (networks and [...]

Bought your mini before April 12th?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Yeah, as I’m sure you’ve all heard, the release date for Mac OS X Tiger (April 29th) on or before the 12th of April you’ll pay the going rate for Tiger. Listen I’m not coming down on Apple, hey they have the right to sell their software how they see fit, but I am a [...]
