NetNewsWire needs to have a rating system, similar to iTunes. I want to be able to prefer some feeds over others, to have them shoot to the top, or use some other method of distinguishing the latest post on my fiancée’s weblog (which I want to be sure to read) from the dozen daily entries […]
Looks like Mac OS X Leopard will finally get the Finder overhaul it’s been needing since 10.0.
Well, I didn’t end up losing much data at all. Only my iTunes Library file was corrupted beyond repair, and iPodRip is rebuilding that from the contents of my iPod as I type this. I ended up getting a new 100GB Seagate drive from CompUSA on Friday night. Their service plan would have covered a […]
Lately, my Powerbook has been very sluggish. Till now, I’d attributed its frequent SPsOD to my lack of hard drive space (sometimes under a gigabyte). But this morning when I plugged my Powerbook in and woke it up, it was way to slow and choppy to use. Restarting had helped before, so I did a […]
The Safari update in yesterday’s OS X Security Update (412.2.2) seems to have broken Google Maps. It just says “Loading…” for me. Can anyone concur?
Just when I thought Apple’s innovation might be winding down. Apple’s new Mighty Mouse appears to be exactly the kind of mouse I’ve been looking for. An elegant, four-button, bi-directional scrolling mouse. Who ever heard of that? Now I think I can finally get rid my MacAlly iOptiNet that never scrolled properly anyway. The only […]
Macworld magazine editor Jennifer Berger (whose name reminds me of someone else’s future name) talks about people who don’t like computers: So maybe we generalize far too much. Maybe it’s not just computers that people don’t like. Maybe it’s Windows. And the sad fact is that so many people are “raised” on Windows. They learn […]
I needed a way to quickly rotate an image from my cameraphone. Opening Fireworks seemed like too much trouble, and Preview didn’t seem to be saving my rotating attempts (annoying, but okay, I guess, since it’s mainly for previewing something). I thought of using Automator, but it was only after dealing with Fireworks and its […]
My cable internet won’t be installed until Monday afternoon, so I’ve been plodding along with a reluctantly purchased AOL account. (No, it’s not free anymore … I signed up several months ago after I began traveling.) AOL’s Mac software seems to be insanely buggy and unpolished. I can only start the AOL application half the […]
Daring Fireball has a splendid, long article about the solution to a problem that has long plagued me: My Mac OS X 10.3 installation pauses for a long period (at least five minutes - I’ve not timed it) before logging me fully in. It only happens with my account; the account I created for Jennifer […]
