Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Macintosh Happy birthday to you… …and maaaaaany mooooooooore! Today is the Mac's 22nd birthday. He's in prime "selective service years" right now, but he can drink, download porn, drive, smoke, and do anything else an adult can do except collect social security. Like last […]

I downloaded and launched Yojimbo. I drug a URL from Safari to the "Bookmarks" section of the application. It utterly failed to recognize it. Then, after discovering that I had to drag it to the Library or the dock, I tried to encrypt it. It crashed. Then, after re-launching and successfully encrypting something, I was […]

Today I used GarageBand to produce episode 10 of the Golf Talk Podcast over at The Sand Trap. My routine is as follows: Use Audio Hijack Pro and Skype to record audio. Reduce noise and pops/clicks in Soundtrack Pro (STP). Remove silence, bad jokes, "uhms" and "wells" and other crap in STP. Add in commercials, […]

Roz Ho comes on to the Macworld Expo keynote stage at about 1:12 (hours:minutes) in, and man is she the opposite of Steve or what? Holy cow. She's… just… bad!

I've removed the following folders from my iPhoto '06 folder (~/Library/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library) and it seems to work just fine: 2002/ 2003/ 2004/ 2005/ 2006/ iPhotoLock.data Library.cache Library.data Library.iPhoto Nearly all of the year folders had nothing in them except a few Data folders filled with things like "795" and "795.attr." I deleted those. The other […]

Every time I launch Safari - whether it's after a crash or after a restart or after me quitting Safari manually - the "Enable plug-ins" option in the "Security" preferences is disabled. I have Saft installed, but none of its settings seem to be affecting this issue. I can check the box and Safari works […]

Apparently, Flip4Mac can "play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) directly in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using a Web browser." If it works, awesome!!!

See, now that's funny. If you believe in a god of some form or another, you probably realize now he or she (or it) has a sense of humor, too.

What the fuck kind of stupid name is MacBook Pro?

After reading this, I'm still not entirely sure what Apple's done to violate the patents (let alone whether such patents are valid).

Question: Where will y'all get your Macworld coverage tomorrow? My Answer: I'm going to try this site and an IRC channel or two. I'll also probably have an AIM group chat going on… I think Adium can do that now right? 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in […]

From this article comes a list of 10 things Owen Linzmayer hates about Mac OS X. My summary: Dock Items Bounce Indefinitely: So turn it off. Programs Force Themselves to the Forefront: Very, very rarely. Trashed Items Can't Be Opened: This happens to me too, but if the dang thing is in the trash why […]

Lately, I've had the need to lay out a lot of stuff in OmniGraffle lately. You know what would be nice? A "Conversion Scale." In other words, I'd draw a block and say "for the purpose of this document, this rectangle is 10 feet wide. Then I could enter sizes for things (chairs, tables, etc.) […]

Some people don't read articles very closely. Hint: it was a joke. Then again, some of the people commenting on the article don't even think it's a joke.
