How timely! Apple’s MobileMe got a feature upgrade allowing users to easily share big files with others. After uploading a file to your MobileMe iDisk, you can share it and get an accessible URL for the file. You can even assign a password and expire the shared file for added protection.
I needed to send a [...]

I’ve installed iLife 09 twice now (with the multi-user Family Pack of course!) and on both occasions, Quicksilver got messed up. Quicksilver is installed and still working, but it looks like its catalog of apps gets jacked.
Invoking Quicksilver to startup apps doesn’t bring up the correct app. For example, trying to run “Disk Utility” to [...]

At the Macworld Expo 2009, an HP product surprisingly generated a lot of interest. The HP MediaSmart Server ex485/ex487 is hot! With this home server, you can save backups to it, even with Mac OS X’s Time Machine. You can store all your iTunes libraries on the MediaSmart and serve them out to all machines [...]

Just a reminder that the last Macworld Expo attended by Apple starts on Tuesday. Steve Jobs is not set to deliver the keynote but could he be the “one more thing” surprise of the event?
And as usual, rumors about Macworld announcements are abound.

I only recently noticed that the MacHeist Giving Tree is continually changing, offering various goodies. If you look on the tree itself, you’ll see ornaments sprouting with each ornament representing a new (paid) special. The ornaments can be different sizes with some being real tiny and hardly noticeable so look carefully.

Wow, I was trying to uninstall Norton Anti-Virus for the Mac, and it simply wouldn’t uninstall completely. The uninstaller reported success, but Norton would keep popping up to scan downloaded files even though supposedly uninstalled.
Going to Symantec’s Support area, I found that there is a specific tool to completely remove all Symantec programs. [...]

No, I didn’t brave the long line and hours awaiting the grand opening of the latest Apple Store in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in Waikiki. But it’s almost like I didn’t have to with Ryan Ozawa’s great coverage of the event. He’s got pictures and videos starting from his 3am start time [...]

Egads! Apple just announced their annual Back to School special where you buy a qualifying Mac and get big discounts or a free iPod. This year, Apple is covering the $299 cost of an 8-GB iPod Touch! You can also apply the discount to a Nano or bigger capacity Touch, but getting [...]

Maybe it wasn’t HFMD after all. Maybe it’s the prolonged exposure to vog that did my iMac in (again). This time, I’m took it to the Apple Store since it’s still under warranty and twice in a week is indicative of a serious problem.
The Genius at the Apple Store Ala Moana thinks my [...]

After having some doubt, I have to give credit to Mac OS X Leopard’s Time Machine automatic backup feature. Luckily, my iMac hardware is okay (for now) with a SMC reset bringing it back to life. All a SMC reset is is unplugging everything from your Mac, letting it sit there for a [...]

While I’m trying out MarsEdit, I noticed a few things missing that I’m used to with Ecto.
Quicker way of adding links. In Ecto, to embed URL links to posts, I got used to:
copying the link
highlighting text in Ecto
right click text and choose “URL with clipboard”
In MarsEdit, I have to do the first two steps, [...]

For all my blog entries, I’ve been using Ecto for quite some time. I like a dedicated app for writing posts rather than using online editors. Apps like Ecto and MarsEdit give more flexibility and includes common shortcuts that make posting and linking easier.
Anyway, I’ve been hearing about the improvements in MarsEdit with [...]

Don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve started to play around with Skitch for some of Pulpconnection’s images. Skitch is a combination application and web service for “fast and fun image sharing.”
With the Skitch app, you can easily edit images or take screen shots and mark them up with basic drawing tools. With [...]

Catching up with Steve Jobs’ keynote at the Macworld Expo. The revised AppleTV now with movie rentals is out. MacBook Air is a reality (not a collaboration with Nike shoes after all).
The Expo’s only been going for one hour and already goodies galore!
