You have probably read that a few days ago Ryan Sarver of the Platform team at Twitter announced that changes were planned for the usage of the Twitter API. There has been a lot of FUD, and worry about Twitter cutting out competition and new apps from its service. I don't exactly think this is true.
There has been one thing about Mac OS X that I have wished has had an overhaul since Mac OS 10.4. Many of you out there will probably agree on the same thing here; Finder has been neglected. If you have ever wish to have a tabbed browsing feature in Finder, then take a look at TotalFinder.
For quite a while now I have been searching for the right CMS platform that I was comfortable with. I have tried many; Wordpress, TypePad, Tumblr and several others. While all good platforms in themselves, none of them felt right for me. Then I found Jekyll.
Internet sharing on Mac OS X has proven to be nothing but problematic for me. I had tried time and time again to share my dorm connection from my Macbook Pro to my Xbox 360 and iPhone for online gaming and Spotify (which doesn’t seem to play nice on a 802.1x network). After exhausting all other solutions, I finally found one that worked.
One thing that has been popping up a lot lately is the mention of “Augmented Reality”. The idea of it is that an information layer is superimposed onto a live video feed. Typically, this information layer will adjust as you interact with the surrounding environment.
I’ve been collecting a lot of digital media - mostly videos, of which I store on my external hard drive to enjoy later from my Macbook. I’d use my Macbook to Rip DVD’s or Download/Stream content, and whilst this is good it would be better if I made use of my 40” Samsung HDTV that I have sitting on my TV stand. I had two options: I could have bought a Mini-DVI cable to use my HDTV as an external monitor, or I could get a dedicated HTPC (Home Theatre PC) using Boxee as a frontend.
