Opera removes ad banners for everyone!

Not too long ago, Opera celebrated their 10th birthday and made the ad banner free version of their popular web browser available for everyone, just for that one day. Just for that day? No, look what Opera Software just announced:
Opera has removed the banners, found within our browser, and the licensing fee. Opera’s growth, due […]

Memex, extending the human memory

1945 Vannevar Bush published an article in “The Atlantic Monthly” called “As We May Think”. The article described a human memory extender with the name “Memex“. The article was not only the idea giver for “Hypertext” and the web-links we all know and love, it was the inspiration for much more, for example the OS […]

This plugin makes it possible for you to have a look at a dynamic generated list of all the currently installed plugins. Some of the […]

A fast and efficient BitTorrent client

I just wasn’t happy anymore with the official BitTorrent client, so I had a look at some alternatives today. What I was searching was a client that works more efficient, one where you’re still able to surf the web without to many slowdowns and one that didn’t suck CPU cycles like there’s no tomorrow while […]

Live HTML, CSS & PHP hacking

You’re normally one of those people that hacks HTML pages in a simple text editor and not in a WYSIWYG suite? Than this application could be exactly what you’ve waited for.

Building the Macintosh computer

Folklore.org is currently collecting stories from the time the original Macintosh computer was built. Many of the stories are written by the people that have worked at Apple on the Macintosh project back in the day. There are a lot of nice anecdotes about Steve, Woz, Andy and all the other crazy guys that brought […]

Colorblind for a while

Ever asked yourself how your website looks like for someone that is colorblind? For example if the text is still readable enough in case you’ve chosen two colors with a similar brightness level? Sim Daltonism is an application that can make you color blind for a while. Now don’t worry, the app doesn’t make your […]

The big Flash coup

Two weeks ago, the analysts over at iSupply announced a possible coup (Yahoo News) about a partnership between Apple and Samsung that would have huge consequences for the portable audio player industry. Since the special media event two days ago, we know that this deal was more than just speculation and now the competition […]

Black is beautiful!

Only one day after the official announcement, the black 4GB version of the new iPod nano already became the second most popular electronic product at Amazon and will most likely become number one later this day! At the same time the white 4GB iPod nano only made it to position 17. The color white was […]

iPod nano, the best iPod ever?

Walter Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal had the pleasure to test the nano, Apple’s replacement for the iPod mini, for a few days, here’s his review. Some quotes:
It’s not only beautiful and incredibly thin, but I found it exceeds Apple’s performance claims.
In fact, the nano has the best combination of beauty and functionality of […]

A quick application launcher with style

The OS X dock is nice and all as long as you only use a few applications. If you’re a real power user with many different applications, some you’re using often, some only from time to time, than the dock just isn’t the best solution anymore. What you need is a specialized application launcher that […]
