I’m a firm believer in competition. It makes companies innovate, it pushes new ideas, and it gets things done. But sometimes, the competition does things that are so stupid that it defies belief. CNN is reporting the following: AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and 24 other companies have formed what they’re calling the Wholesale Applications Community, they…
If you’re familiar with apt-get from Linux, then you know what a package manager does. It handles downloading, installing, updating and managing certain applications and their dependencies within the operating system. MacPorts is a command-line package manager for macOS. With MacPorts you can install Linux applications on macOS from the command line. What can I…
I think I first heard of the term “sexting” from the kids at Glee (yeah, cat’s out of the bag, I used to watch the show). Â It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what sexting means (sexually explicit text messaging, in case you aren’t sure), and the guys at Apple are going out…
The Apple Store was up briefly, but has now crashed down to earth from all the traffic headed to the site. Hopefully it’ll be back up soon.
For the two people on planet Earth who have not yet heard: the next big Angry Birds game was released today, and it pushs the gameplay mechanics into new directions. But there are three very important things you definitely should know before you download it.
I never used to backup my hard drive. There was no reason, you see, because I was invincible to the perils of data loss. Then one day, I lost all of the data on my old PC, and was screwed. That didn’t really teach me much of a lesson until Apple introduced Time Machine, and…
There are a number of hidden files tucked away in your home directory. On macOS, you’ll find a file named “.bash_profile” up near the top of your hidden files. The bash_profile file can be used to customize and control your Terminal commands, adding shortcuts and adjusting how commands are run. If you’ve used Linux, it’s…
iTunes 7.4.2 is out. It sucks. Why? It kills the Ringtone work around, and even goes so far as to delete the Ringtones that you’ve made. Apple is getting an increasing amount of bad press for locking down iTunes, and the new iPods, and I have to say, I’m getting pretty sick of it. It’s…
History knows three apples that changed its course. The apple of discord in the biblical story. Isaac Newton discovered the gravitation law when an apple fell down from a tree on his head. The ‘Apple’ of our time is the creation of Steve Jobs. College students need to manage lots of tasks every day. If…
When Apple’s “spaceship campus” first came to light, we all got excited about it – and for good reason. If you’ve seen Robin’s awesome gallery of detailed renders and plans of the campus, then you’ll know very well how unique and groundbreaking it is. Very Apple-like. Recently, more details about the new campus were revealed…
Long time site reader and frequent commentor, The Wizard, sent me an email last night about a problem that I don’t have a solution to. Since I know that there are many of you that have had problems with 10.5.2 (and yes, I understand that there are also many of you that haven’t had any…
Oh, the Mac Pro. Device of people who really need to crank out resource-intensive projects. It’s what some video editors prefer for editing their movies, and what some designers love for working on magazines and other work. It’s also the price of a used car, and with the latest update, a grand more expensive than…
