Minimalism, often an important feature

Why does the standard Apple mouse only have one button? Nah, it’s not because Apple could save money that way, it’s because minimalism often is a very important feature. Just because you can easily add an additional feature to a product, doesent mean you should. Sometimes less is actualy more. For example by not adding […]

Nostrada’me & the Flash Player 8 explained

Yes, I did it! I have successfully predicted what Apple would do! Two weeks ago I’ve posted about the the future of podcasting. Yesterday a MacDailyNews article has confirmed my prediction. It was kinda obvious, but to be honest, I didn’t expect it to happen this early.
Additionaly John Dowdell from Macromedia has pointed me to […]

Windows Vista Beta 1 Review

Nah, I’m not going to write a Windows Vista (previously known as Longhorn) review, don’t worry, I’m just pointing you to one. It defenitly looks good for a Windows OS, but:
Beta 1 is all about possibility and promises, and that’s OK. My only real disappointment is that it took so long to get to this […]

Paint on your screen!

Too lazy to clean your screen after you’ve painted on it with a water-resist marker? Or did you ever wish your laser pointer used for presentations could actualy write something onto the projection, something that doesent disappears after the blink of an eye? Then the time has come for you to experience digital colors […]

Web-Server setup made easy

( Servers )

While OS X comes with it’s own installation of Apache, if you want to do more with it than just host files, than you need some additional features, for example PHP and mySQL. Now there are different ways to add this features to the already installed Apache web-server. The experienced users would download the PHP […]

The Mac browser “wars”

Safari, Firefox, Opera or maybe a new contender? Is there a browser that surpasses the whole competition in usability, speed and page-rendering accuracy? Currently the answer to this question can only be no. All the top browsers have their own advantages without missing to shine with the fundamentals. So what are the different browsers specialties […]

Social bookmarking on the Mac

If we’re talking about software and the internet, socialism and communism (Bill Gates name for open source) is’nt really a bad thing, actualy it is a really good thing, so don’t run away scared. One of the most popular social web services is del.icio.us. The service let’s you share your bookmarks with the rest of […]

A dynamic Mac signature

Today you have to do a bit more than just download and launch a Mac application, so be warned, it will not be as easy as usual.
The image you see above dynamicaly shows the current song played on one of my Macs and the uptime of the Mac I’m currently using. You can get the […]

Internet’s command line

All modern web-browsers have a search field, but if you use the internet a lot, one search engine normaly is’nt enough. In Firefox you can add more search engines to your search-box and than select one of them with a drop-down menu before you enter the searchterm. Better, but still not perfect. What if we […]

Colors that don’t bite each other

Picking colors that don’t bite each other isn’t always easy, especially for people without an eye for them. However, even the best designers have days where they just can’t agree on a color palette. So what to do? Before you get a headache on the search for the perfect matching colors, there are two applications […]

NVU to climb the HTML construction throne?

For some time now Dreamweaver from Macromedia is the de facto standard WYSIWYG HTML editor for the Mac … doesent meen we love it, especially the slowness and unstableness with big files was often a negative point brought up by it’s users. Personally I’m writing most of my HTML code by hand in a simple […]

Jackdaw from Creation Robot does an excellent job of picking the best OS X applications. His consistently updated Mac100 list contains a lot of must have applications nobody should miss. I will sure feature some of them with some additional material over here as well, not surprising I actualy already did with Cyberduck.
