Review: Fun Booth 2 for Mac

Fun Booth 2, from Spoonjuice software is an application for the Mac which lets you snap pictures or take video of yourself wearing all sorts of silly props. You can then e-mail the photos to friends or family, upload them to iPhoto, Twitter, Flickr, or burn them if they really embarrass you. :) The application [...]

Thanks To EventBox I Finally Have An RSS System That Works For Me

Like many (or most) of you reading this I get a ton of information from my RSS feeds. Since I use a notebook and a desktop, an iPhone and an iPod touch I don’t just need a decent RSS reader… I need a SYSTEM. I need something that allows me to use them all interchangeably [...]

Mac User? It Is Almost Time To Bundle Up

I’ve gotten some of my favorite Mac applications through bundle purchases over the last two years. While every application usually isn’t a homerun bundles often offer some great applications for pennies on the dollar. Better still, they can introduce you to applications you might never have otherwise tried. Well, a new bundle is on the [...]

Skitch – GD Must-Have Mac Applications

There are a host of applications that allow you to grab images from your computer’s screen. I’ve tried a number of them and many do a terrific job. For simple screenshots I use Evernote since those images are immediately synced with my online account. For those times when I want to do more with an [...]

ScreenFlow Review – GD Must-Have Mac Applications

I made the leap to the Mac less than two years ago. When I first made the move I read a number of posts which describes some of the best Mac applications. Over the last 20 months I have found my collection of applications I swear by. Some are from those initial lists but most [...]

Taking Notes iPhone-Style – A GD How-To

So here was the dilemma… I was sitting outside in the sun rereading a book I purchased a number of years ago. (Yes, a dead tree book!) I remember some insights in it that might prove useful for some talks I need to be giving in a few weeks. So there I was on vacation [...]

StickyWindows = More Desktop, Less Compromise

One thing is for sure- no matter what device you use there are always going to be trade-offs and compromises involved. Take, for example, notebooks. Each has its assorted pros and cons and what makes one “the right device” and another “the wrong device” aren’t absolutes but rather the specific balance of qualities it offers. [...]

Take Control of Time Machine

I’m a Apple fanboy through and through. This I admit freely. But I’m also man enough to admit that not everything Apple does is perfect. Time Machine, Apple’s default back up program, is one of those not so perfect things. My biggest problem with Time Machine is the inability to customize just when Time Machine [...]

Quick Look – Sapiens Launcher For Mac

In my search for a better launcher for my Macs I came across this little gem. Sapiens takes a different approach to launching applications on your Mac. It relies most heavily on the mouse or trackpad and then uses the keyboard to supplement its speed and accuracy. In addition… Sapiens is clever because it learns [...]

MacSpeech Dictate Version 1.5 — Some Initial Impressions

This post began as a quick post about the update to MacSpeech Dictate — software that brings accurate voice recognition technology to the Mac. Dictate was first released a little over a year ago and was the first time that voice recognition on the Mac worked well. It was built on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version [...]

MacSpeech Dictate Updated To Version 1.5

I use speech recognition quite a bit. I need to. I do a lot of writing and never learned how to touch type. Add to that the fact that I destroyed my wrist a number of years ago and — voice recognition is a godsend. Unfortunately, just a few years ago even the best voice [...]

MacRumors Live hacked during Macworld keynote coverage

Observers watching the live coverage of the Macworld keynote on popular web site Macrumors probably noticed the site was hacked for at least the last portion of the keynote coverage 20 minutes during which phony messages such as “STEVE JOBS JUST DIED” were injected in between the site’s commentary of the keynote. I started noticing [...]
