Snow Leopard Review →
Macworld reviews Mac OS X 10.5.
I am so going to upgrade. However, it’s not a revolutionary upgrade. No mind-blowing changes. No 300+ new features. It’s just the best Mac OS X ever. Or as Apple puts it: “Refined, not reinvented.”
A faster, more polished Leopard with lots of refinements where you need them.Shut down your Mac twice as fast. Wake it up twice as fast. Open a PDF...

Twitter's Updated Design
Did you just experience problems when trying to go to Twitter.com? I did. Could this be the reason?
Maybe. I just noticed it – is it new? I’m barely using the website at all – mostly I post to Twitter from either Tweetie for Mac or Tweetie for iPhone.
But back to the new design. I think it looks good. I’ve always thought the Twitter website has been very friendly looking....

Fluke – Play FLAC in iTunes →
A free utility that lets you listen to FLAC files right within iTunes.
Personally, I prefer Apple Lossless – mostly for the native iTunes and iPod support. For the convenience, really.
Both Apple Lossless and FLAC are obviously both using non-lossy compression methods – so there’s no difference in sound quality between the two. Both sound equally perfect.
However, I am aware that FLAC...

Min fråga till Telia ang. iPhone 3GS →
Jag hoppas på svar. Och jag hoppas på att slippa betala nästan sju lax för att uppgradera från min iPhone 3G (som jag är nöjd med) till förmån för iPhone 3GS.
Mina anledningar (till mig själv) för att uppgradera till 3GS:
1. Ännu snabbare iPhone — mer minne, snabbare processor. Program startar snabbare, att surfa blir trevligare… Hela telefonen känns betydligt kvickare.
2. Kameran suger inte...

Playback – Stream All Content from Your Mac to Any... →
From the excellent people at Yazsoft. I’m going to give it a try. If I like it, I’ll buy it. I have tried MediaLink, but I have yet to purchase it.
MediaLink costs only $20. And I frequently buy new, useful and/or exciting, apps for Mac OS X. And even though it seems to be the best out there for streaming video to Playstation 3, I’m not completely satisfied – it doesn’t...

Phil Schiller's Response to Steven Frank's iPhone...
Steven Frank boycotted iPhone, since he was disappointed (to say the least) about the way Apple rejects or approve applications for the iPhone. Not to put words in someone else’s mouth, but basically, Steven’s opinion is that Apple neglects iPhone developers with the way the App Store and its approval process is constructed.
Steven is most famous for being one of the two co-founders...

Ninjawords - a really fast dictionary →
I think it lives up to its slogan. It’s an online dictionary. Clean layout with a really simplistic but useful interface. The data is fetched from Wiktionary.
[Update: Also available as an iPhone application. I’ve purchased it, and I think it’s excellent. Fast and accurate – as promised.]
