Disco Beta out now!
Disco has now been released to the public. I downloaded it this morning and it looks pretty cool. I havn’t burned anything because I don’t need to right now but I had a play with dragging files into the app and moving through the menu’s. It’s really easy to use and looks great. You get [...]
Octo Mac Pro?
According to engadget, Apple are working on a new Mac Pro with 8 Cores. The new Core 2 Quad comes out soon so I guess that would be a nice addition to Apple’s top of the line model.
Tech news roundup
Apple might be considering 15.4 inch macbooks for 2007. I can’t say I really approve of this. It would confuse the differences between the macbooks and the macbook pros too much and make purchasing a system more complicated. I think simplicity is one of the things that makes Apple so desirable, and something they should [...]
Everyone can Disco on Monday!
Wow. We’ve had some pretty successful blog posts and news announcements in the past but I don’t think anything can possibly compare to the last few days. In 48 hours we have received and responded to nearly 2,000 emails and talked with countless journalists and tech media personalities. Likewise, MediaTemple might never forgive us for [...]
New MacBook pro's, but no new MacBooks yet
The new MacBook pro models look great. The same on the outside to the last ones but include those nice new Core 2 Duo chips in them. They’re now 64 bit, faster speeds and have more memory as standard (1gb up from 512) for the same prices. It looks like 64 bit, the small speed [...]
Google launch customisable search engines
This is Google’s answer to the rollyourown search tool for the firefox search box. Google, as part of it’s co-op project is offering the chance to create your own search engine. It’s very customisable and can range from the basic to much more complex. You can embed a search box in your own site, or [...]
iTunes DRM cracked, but who cares?
According to BBC, the iTunes DRM Fairplay used to prevent people from playing their music on music players other than iPods and other computers / music software other than iTunes has been cracked. I’ve lost the post I made several months ago regarding how to get around this problem so here goes. iTunes music can [...]
Songbird starts chirping louder
Songbird has reached 0.2 and although it seems a long way from 1.0 don’t be fooled. The current release is a pretty big step from where it was when I last used it. Everything looks so much more polished and complete now. The library import seems to be smoother and the homepage looks nice. You [...]
What makes a good homepage?
The other day I looked at both PageFlakes and NetVibes. They looked so similar it had me searching for any differences between them. Although there are some, they do the same thing and are suppost to be used as a homepage. This got me thinking about what is the best site to use as a [...]
Some cool Mac software
I’ve been spending some time testing out some new stuff and it’s pretty impressive. Being an open source fan I was impressed when I started to use Seashore, a GIMP based image editing software for Mac only. It has been modified to look and act more like photoshop which is nice, and although doesn’t have [...]
