Tip calculators are now available for the iPhone. Seriously, is rounding, doubling, and moving the decimal one place that difficult that people would rather pull out a phone, click a button, slide their finger, scroll to the right page, tap an icon, type some more to enter the bill's total, and read a result from […]

I'm looking to get a few (perhaps four) 1.0 TB drives for my Mac Pro (ouch). Does anyone have any suggestions on which kind to get and where to get them? Also, any suggestions on what to do with four 500 GB SATA hard disks? The Drobo takes SATA drives, right?

And the service is currently down. But I've got the software update, which didn't require a restart thankfully, and my System Prefs show the new icon and wording. Ho hum. Oh, and http://homepage.mac.com/iacas/Scorecard/ still works, but http://homepage.me.com/iacas/Scorecard/ does not. Maybe later?

I have an APC Back-UPS ES 500R that, for darn near a year now ((Really, it probably began failing when I got my Mac Pro.)), has not really behaved very well. I've always had the computer (Mac Pro) and my 23" Cinema plugged into the battery powered side, and a single other item (my mouse […]

What's up with btinternet.com customers never getting the same darn IP address. Sure makes it tough to ban the occasional idiot in a forum without banning half of the rest of the UK. Here in the U.S., most people with DSL and cable seem to get the same IP address. Unless they're offline for a […]

"rediculous" is not a word. Not in the English language, anyway. What I wouldn't give to have every browser put red dotted lines under mis-spelled words like Safari does, along with people who care enough to pay attention to them.

/me installs. And I think that's about all I can say about that. Update: Can I say it's nice? And fast? And 1Password is already updated to work with it?

The lack of iTunes+ songs in addition to Amazon's somewhat more flexible pricing (sometimes cheaper, almost never more expensive) hurts. Unfortunately, so too does the AmazonMP3.com buying experience. I recently checked out a few songs from American Top 40 ((Yeah yeah, I don't have time to listen to the radio and just want a few […]

My partner in the Golf Talk Podcast uses a Windows machine. He has a Samson USB condenser mic, and just recently we've decided to try recording both sides of the conversation. I use Audio Hijack Pro to record both sides, currently, and would likely continue to use that same setup to record my side, but […]

Why can't Safari's "undo" undo closing a tab? Just open the tab back up, scroll back to where I was, and let me forget that I finger-twitched on command-w a bit too quickly. Gah!

A user on The Sand Trap forum linked to his online Scorecards at this URL: http://home.comcast.net/~2624/. The URL works fine in OmniWeb, iCab, Firefox, and even Internet Explorer for the Mac, yet Safari (and any WebKit-based browser) shows a 404. Changing the user agent in Safari doesn't fix anything, either. What gives? P.S. I've yet […]

I've ordered two 2 GB sticks of RAM from RAMJet for the MacBook Pro. This means I'll have two 1 GB sticks available. If anyone wants them, and can offer a token (shipping plus a few bucks), they're yours. I have no use for them. The RAM will work in MacBooks, Mac Minis, and MacBook […]

When was the last really good Internet April Fool's joke? Because I can't remember one. Heck, Bare Bones' hardware for faster text processing stands out in my mind as one of the funniest simply because it was rather unexpected.

Aperture 2.1 was released with a sample plugin. I guess that may partly answer this question. I haven't checked yet, but I believe the plugin architecture is still not non-destructive. WordPress 2.5 was released. I'll be installing this very soon here on this blog, then on The Sand Trap, and then on some others. Cyndicate […]
