I spotted this on the internet somewhere (wish I could remember where, so I could point to it)
When you get Aperture, and install it, it’ll let you install it, if you don’t have enough RAM, but it won’t run, and will give you an error saying something like “This machine doesn’t have the minimum resources [...]

If you’re into customizing your icons on your Macintosh, go check out this icon set: Think Different Stamps on InterfaceLift. Very cool set. I can’t decide between Kermit and Jim Henson or Picasso as a replacement icon for Mail.app. Which do you like best:

So, which one?

Pedro Vera just posted a list of software that you should investigate if you’re new to OS X.
It’s a decent list… though, I’d highly recommend Interarchy for your FTP needs as well. I’ve used it for years now, and find it indispendable.
I’ve also never seen Flip4Mac, which purports to be a WMV plugin for [...]

I sent Meetro an email this morning asking to be a beta tester, after reading Scoble’s post on the subject. Sure enough, Meetro’s CEO, Paul Bragiel, sent me an email telling me that I’ll get to beta test the application and asking me to help him find more beta testers. Pretty cool that [...]

Ars Technica on Aperture 1.0 - this is the review I’ve been looking for. If you’re interested in Aperture, read this review.
update: After reading the review completely myself, I’m left thinking that maybe Aperture isn’t what I need, and maybe it is something I’ll want, evenutally. I don’t know, and haven’t made up [...]

I bought an iPod nano (4GB Black) tonight at the Barton Creek Apple Store.
We were at a charity event at the mall, because we figured we’d do a little shopping before Thanksgiving, and to hang out with one of our good friends before they head out of town for the holidays…
We paid $10 each to [...]

Here’s one more example of how Google just doesn’t like Mac users.
Google Analytics doesn’t work with Safari on Mac OS X. In ordre to view a Google Analytics report on Mac OS X, you have to be using a Mozilla based braower, ie. Firefox.
Here’s an example of two screenshots:
GA in Safari on Mac OS [...]

Chuq just posted this post: Why I work for Apple, reason number 18321.5, which points to Meet Jackie Huba, Customer Evangelist which points to this Quicktime Movie which you just have to watch… too much fun!

A few friends of mine and I ‘volunteered’ to put together a movie for a couple of friends of ours that are getting married this weekend. I got roped in because I’m the one that owns a Macintosh, which means I have iMovie and iDVD…
The goal: a 10-20 minute video that gives the couple’s [...]

If any of you out there are iPod nano fans, you’ve gotta go check out my buddy Josh’s news:

Congrats Josh and Elise!

Gruber does it again (brings a smile to my face) with his witty analysis of the Dell DJ Ditty
14. Sit back and recall, with tremendously smug satisfaction, a decade’s worth of tech industry punditry holding that superior design would never get Apple anywhere, and that Apple should instead, you know, be more like Dell.

The biggest challenge I see facing my future purchase of an iPod nano?
Should I get a Black one or a White one?
Ugh… the decisions in life that make it so tough.

Have you ever asked yourself the question “Who is connected to my Airport Base Station?”
If so, then you should download the Airport Management Utility. This tool kicks ass.
I don’t know why Apple doesn’t advertiser the existence of this software more than it does… the only mention I could find of this software on their [...]

Can anyone tell me why Windows Media Player (version 9 for OS X) always decides to shit on me:

It really doesn’t matter what I do with it, after about two weeks after I install it, I get lots of these “Windows Media Player has crashed” error windows whenver I try to open a WMV file [...]

Since the ol’ iBook G3 700Mhz machine died two weeks ago, I’ve contemplated a few options for getting it fixed and/or getting the hard drive out of it, to get the data off of it.
First, understand that this is still a useable computer, and it’d be nice to have another laptop in the family. [...]
