Social bookmarking sites became really popular this year. However, personally I think there’s still a lot of additional potential for future evolution. Now I know a lot of you have some really great ideas for such services, just not the skills or time to realize them on your own. Thx to Djoeke van de Klomp, […]
After months of hard resistance, giving the popular podcasts different names, for example blogcast, Microsoft now finally realized that this one can’t be won and that it would be wise to use the name anyone else was using all the time, podcast. While the name didn’t originate at Apple, the term pod in podcast always […]
Did you ever search the perfect font for a logo or design and just couldn’t decide between two similar fonts because the perfect font would have been something somewhere between the two?

The scripting language Ruby and the framework Ruby on Rails is getting really popular lately, even outside Japan where the hype started.

As announced last week, Intel has now shown their new line of x86 chips. Thirst thing you should do is forget everything you know about Gigahertz, that’s not important anymore, because the new Gigahertz is “performance per watt”. Steve Jobs has used the term to explain Apple’s switch to Intel chips and now Intel is […]
Probably not as the text-to-speech voices that are part of OS X doesnt sound very charming. Actually by listening to them, I wouldn’t be surprised if you start to hear non-existing voices after a while.

The official reason for the Intel switch is “performance per watt” and Intel’s processor roadmap. Most thought that just the normal evolution of the current low power Intel chips and IBM’s problems was reason enough for Apple’s decision, but why only Intel and not any x86 compatible chip? Most did answer this question with something […]
Now over two months since the announcement of Apple to make the transition to Intel based Macs, there are still a lot of questions and misinformation around. This doesnt have to be the case anymore. The MacRumors:Forums have written a great OS X x86 FAQ that answers a lot of the questions that still […]
Do you remember the Core Image demo at WWDC 2004? There was that little application called “Core Image Fun House” they used to demo the new core image feature. Later the fun house was included with Tiger to play around for everyone (…/Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools/).
While Core Image was done for OS X developers to use in […]
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 […]
Apple is currently pushing podcasting with the inclusion of the technology into iTunes. Daring Fireball has a long and great (as usual) article about it and iLounge has a well written beginner’s guide and an other one about the use of the feature in iTunes so you can go out and start to create your […]
