I’ve gathered a list of some of my essential mac applications and hosted it here. I’ll be adding new software and tweaking the design as I go. I’ve got the software organized by type (internet/graphics/audio and video/utilities/games/other).
Time has the scoop on the development process and story behind the flashy new iPhone. While the phone itself is absolutely stunning, the implications of the technologies integrated into the product are even more amazing. I’m sure someone will create an app to control iTunes running playing through a home stereo with the iPhone over […]
What a find! I can’t believe I haven’t run across this Mac utility before. iScroll2 enables two-finger scrolling with trackpads on pre-Intel machines. In other words, “iScroll2 is a modified trackpad driver that adds two-finger scrolling capabilities to supported pre-2005 PowerBooks and iBooks on OS X 10.3 and up.”

Woah, who knew? What a great, curiously underdocumented feature:

I don’t know how I missed this great new feature for Quicksilver.

Apple Computer is 30 years old on April 1. What follows, before you turn the page, is not for geeks, it’s for aesthetes. Apple, with its laptops and iPods, is certainly, from one perspective, a geek thing; but, from another, much more interesting perspective, it’s an art thing, the story of how, even in our […]
