  • iPhone4 Antenna issue explained….extremely funny :-)

    Well looks like someone had a lot of time on their hands in Taiwan. Really funny though, specially the final solution to the antennagate problem.

  • HTML5 according to Apple….

    Well, you all know I’m a proponent of HTML5. I think the standards are now mature enough that we can (should/will) give up on proprietary plugins/kluges. To that end — and I think for a demo at WWDC’10 — apple has just released a page showcasing what HTML5 can do. Have a look at it…

  • History of London through Augmented Reality

    Yep, finally, someone is thinking in the Museum of London. They’ve just released their iPhone App Streetmuseum. Through it’s AR interface you can travel back in time and see London as it used to be. Hundreds of images from the Museum of London’s extensive collections showcase both everyday and momentous occasions in London’s history, from…

  • @Google: I’m Canadian and I want my Google TV NOW!!!!

    I don’t understand what’s wrong with companies today. I, like the rest of you have been following the Google I/O conference announcements for the past couple of days and just heard about Google TV today (yeah I know a bit behind in my feed). I was all excited and was thinking of all the possibilities…

  • Screen Sharing on mac the easy way……

Today I stumbled across another way of doing this without any of these apps……just using the build in “Screen Sharing” application. The easy…

  • The man behind the Mac Chime…….

    OMT in San Francisco #3: ‘Let it beep’ from One More Thing on Vimeo. Really cool video of Jim Reekes talking about his thought process in designing sounds for the mac, including the big fat C major chord which your mac plays every time you start it. Jim Reekes was a programmer at Apple Computer…

  • iPhone Explorer turns your iPhone/iTouch into a USB stick…..

    One of the original reasons I bought my first ipod (first gen 5 Gig) was that I could hook it up to my mac and use it as a firewire drive. I could literally run around with this in my pocket and boot OSX off the ipod. Well that came to an end with the…

  • Movist…..will it be the next VLC for mac….

    The answer to that is maybe, we’ll see. But all that aside if you’re interested in a minimalistic video player that can handle more codecs than VLC and is generally faster then give Movist a try. The unique thing about the player is that it allows you to switch codec engines between ffmpeg and quicktime…

  • ._ resource fork files don’t work properly in OSX 10.6 Samba……

    Well the title is a bit misleading…..here are the details. I found out that if you have a NTFS native shared directory on your server, everything works fine as long as you’re using OSX 10.5 (Leopard) or below as a client. You can move files from Leopard and/or Tiger clients to the share and as…
