The current NetNewsWire Betas with their close integration to the free online new aggregator NewsGator is really tempting me away from the $5 per month Feedlounge, which has now NNW integration. Im currently running both side-by-side in an attempt to wean myself off Feedlounge. Id just like to see NNW auto update itself as they have been releasing new versions quite frequently lately.
MacBook Pro 17 incher is out today.
Now I have a MacBookPro Delicious Library makes so much more sense with the built in iSight cam. Ive been randomly scanning books and CDs.
Im finding life less irritating and myself generally less angry during the day now Ive removed digg from my feed reader. I can highly recommend it.
Ill need this when I get my Mac Book Pro
No! I dont want any heather.
Don't bother asking me for the theme for this site, you might be offended by my response.
i woke up this morning to a lovely little email from Steve Jobs: "Name: Steve Jobs; Email: sjobs@apple.com; Subject: Advice; Your a fucking idiot. And one more thing ... don't be such an ass when posting comments. It's mac zealots like you that give Mac users a bad name. -Steve". Now for various reasons i don't think this is the Steve Jobs, just one of which is the use of "your" instead of "you're". Steve would never make such a grammatical school boy error. So next time you have a problem with one of my comments, "Steve", at least include a link to my comment so I can learn the error of my ways - ass!
Wow, after all the open source prize winning fuss, Apple release their own Windows dual booting App. Now I really need a MacBook Pro.
EFI and BIOS
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.Word to the Wise
Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.
He! “Macs DO Windows” lol
Theres a great podcast on TalkCrunch with a discussion between executives on 4 major online feed readers: NewsGator, Attensa, Rojo and Feedlounge. I had a look at a few online feed readers a while ago and I settled on Feedlounge as a good migration from NetNewsWire. In my eyes Feedlounge certainly gives the best user experience: the liberal use of AJAX means no page refresh; none of the other readers seem to do the 3 pane thing or render the pages as well as Feedlounge (Alex mentions that he came from NetNewsWire and I think it shows), its just unfortunate that you have to pay for this usability and that it doesnt yet sync with NetNewsWire, Id really like to see the usability of Feedlounge with the functionality of the NewsGator and NetNewsWire combo (free would be nice too, certainly cheaper). All 4 discuss the future of their respective readers and the future certainly looks rosy, I for one shall be keeping an eye on these an any more which might turn up.
If you want to get better - don't say a little prayer. "Two-thirds of Americans and more than a quarter of British people say they pray regularly, but the study, which took almost a decade and cost $2.4m (£1.4m) suggested that they may be wasting their time." - So dont go blessing me if I seneeze!
