I recently set up an external hard drive to use with Time Machine on my Macbook Pro. As nice as the wireless backups of an Apple Time Capsule would be, I don’t need it and thus can’t justify spending the extra on one. My Macbook Pro had a 120gb hard drive in it at the [...]

I have noticed news and rumours popping up, as well as some releases on Apple’s website about the next version of OS X, due out next year, Snow Leopard. Just going off the information directly from Apple, Snow Leopard is sounding like it is going to be a very interesting release and as an unashamed [...]

Today while downloading the latest version of Adobe’s Acrobat Reader for a computer at work that didn’t have it for some reason, I noticed that Adobe have started to bundle their new Adobe Media Player with it. From the Adobe website: “With a broad catalog of videos and shows from the leading media companies and [...]

I’ve had my new Sony Ericsson K850i which I bought on the $49 Maxi Cap account with Vodafone for a bit over a month, so I think now is the time to write up how I have found the phone, and how I have found the transition to Vodafone from Optus pre-paid. I’ll break this [...]

On Windows XP or Mac OS X, when you unplug the modem without disconnecting the connection first, it will act the same way as if you unplug an ethernet cable and unplug a USB device. On [...]

If you are using Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and want to change the look of your dock, try out Dock Library. It’s very simple to use and makes changes to the appearance of your dock very easy. And the best part, it’s free! I’m sure the creator, Pete Callaway, wouldn’t mind a donation though [...]

Joe Wilcox from Microsoft Watch has some really great advice in his top 10 recommendations for 2008. It’s just a pity that chances are, Microsoft won’t take much of it on board. I particularly like number 2, and I think this is something that would be really beneficial. There is nowhere that properly showcases Microsoft [...]

One of the things I have found the most difficult getting used to on my MacBook Pro is the lack of a Notepad alternative on OS X. Sure you have TextEdit, and VIM, but neither of them are really what I’m after. I basically use Notepad on Windows as a form of post-it note taking. [...]

I came across this nifty open-source piece of web-based software last night that is really quite an interesting and useful idea. Created by Johann C. Rocholl, Browsershots allows you to submit a website for any of the available browsers on any of the available operating systems. You can also specify things such as with or [...]
