Crossover for Mac

This is pretty cool. It’s a way of running Windows apps as if they were Mac apps with no trace of anything windows, unless you wanted to install Internet Explorer 6. i installed it for a min and during the few mins I could stomach the look of it I did get it to work [...]

Is self employment possible these days?

Everyone would like to be able to come up with a successful plan to make money, but how do you get it? I mean the world has gone past the stage where pretty much everything has been done. Now when you think you’ve got something unique, you’ll probably get dissapointed sooner or later. For example [...]

More new Mac Ads

It’s that time again, new Mac ads on Apple.com. These ones are some of the best so far I’d say. My favourite of the new 3 and including all the older ones is the one above. This one is about spyware and PC is trying to disguise himself to hide away. Justin Long (Mac) rejects [...]

Gimp vs Photoshop Dugg

I had to join in on this argument again. I have mentioned before here that I’m a big fan of open source and the Gimp. I have also said how good it is to be fully open source. I would have to say that at the present time Photoshop is the better program but it [...]

Reading and Leeds is Amazing

Anyone who gets the opportunity to watch / listen to anything from this year’s Reading and Leeds festival’s I urge you to take it. I’m hoping some stuff will appear on youtube soon but in the meantime I’m looking forward to the Raconteurs later today/tomorrow. MUSE were amazing, The Arctic Monkeys are impressing me more [...]

He’s back, and this time he’s brought some freaking videos with him. That’s right, the Boy Genius has a BlackBerry Pearl (8100) and shot some footage of the damned thing in action. The Boy Genius Report: BlackBerry Pearl 8100 pics and videos! – Engadget Mobile The camera function shows RIM are trying to make Blackberry [...]

What the hell were you thinking Justin?

Justin Gatlin won the 100 metres and 200 metres at the olympics and the 100 at world championship un-doped but for some reason he decided he needed to improve (not sure where the logic in that is), and the only way to do that was to drug himself up with a performance enhancer. This lead [...]

PS3 design, console hard drives and special features

I have to say the PS3 looks okish and it probably will have one or two games that may tempt me but how are you suppost to stack the thing? And why should I pay that amount of money for a console with features I won’t use only to have pay more money for a [...]

Writely open to all (finally)

It took long enough but Writely has been moved to Google’s systems and therefore is now available for everyone who wants an account. For free of course. Here’s a screen of the main menu which shows and gives you access to all of your docs and the ability to upload new ones and create them [...]

New Palm coming soon

Looks like a new Palm Treo smartphone is coming soon. I was thinking the camera on the current treo 650 looked a little poor for the price, especially when you compare it to the phones of other manufacturers. I’m hopeful they’re going to add something along the lines of a 3 megapixel cam to it [...]
