Rare interview with Jonathan Ive

Jonathan Ive, Apple’s industrial design “god”, isn’t a person that gives a lot of interviews, so there’s really no excuse to miss one of them. I’ve already linked a big one with him under ‘daily links’ a few weeks ago and here’s a new commented “interview”. Ok, there are much more comments than words from […]

Execute PHP scripts with PHP Executer

I had some fun with Platypus this weekend. First thing what I did was a “clone” of Chaos Antidote using a PHP script. I’ll let you download that one later after some bug testing. Anyway, I did a second application with Platypus, PHP Executer. Just drop any normal PHP file over it and it will […]

Native OS X applications from scripts

Set, mount and launch!

Nah, this isn’t a new sport for nerds, I don’t force you to mount an external harddisk and launch an application on it as fast as possible, really, but what else could this “Set, mount and launch!” be you may ask? Lets say you have an external firewire harddisk for your regular backups. Normally you […]

Map your mind

There are many ways too logically organize information and ideas, the simplest way would be to use a text editor or a piece of paper and just write them down. Now of course the simplest way is not always the best way, sometimes to get the best results you just have to go along a […]

An inside look at Google

Not too long ago, Google was almost anyone’s favorite web company, but as with every other company that gets huge, some people start to fear the new giant and Google is definitely one with $6 billion a year in revenue and $7.6 billion in cash. However, Google managed to stay special even now as they […]
