A real desktop Chaos Antidote

I’m really lazy when it comes to files on my desktop. Normally I just let the desktop fill up with files till all of my three screens are full of them; often I even let them stack before I take action. Somehow I just don’t see cleaning up my desktop as productive work and so […]

Jobs outlines Apple survival plan

Apple is doing pretty good right now as the Amazon post below shows, but that wasn’t always the case. This is an interesting CNET article dated October 2, 1997. In the article Jobs outlines 12 reasons why Apple will survive as a company. Now of course we know that it worked out, but in 1997 […]

Macs extremely popular at Amazon

In total, Apple holds 14 of the top 25 positions in Amazon’s top-selling computers list. Currently the only non-Mac in the top ten is a Sony Vaio notebook at position four. At the top of the list is the 12.1″ iBook followed by the 14.1″ iBook. An iMac G5 20″ completes the top three. Pretty […]

Pure CSS drop-down menu

Yes, you’ve read that correct, no JavaScript needed, just some very, very smart CSS. He uses xhtml 1.1 and it’s ability to let you extend the !DOCTYPE declarations. While it doesn’t validate with the official W3C validator, he uses tables in links, it’s cross platform compatible and should work in all the important browsers. Pretty […]

Social bookmarking survey

Social bookmarking sites became really popular this year. However, personally I think there’s still a lot of additional potential for future evolution.

The article tells you how to do things like sending web pages, adding web images to iPhoto, how to create a personalized clipping service, what some […]

A professional photographers dream

If you’re a professional photographer and a Mac user that makes hundreds of digital shots each day, than I’m sure you’re as exited as me about yesterdays Media Event. Not only did Apple reduce the price of the beautiful Cinema displays, showed a quad G5 that is nearly two times as fast as the previously […]
