Control any application, not just Front Row (presentations, etc) with your remote, using Remote Buddy! Great stuff.

People who buy unlocked phones like to do things differently.
They have a thirst for the newest toy, the shiniest gadget, the latest feature. This same “Early Adopter” market overlaps heavily with the “Mac Power User” market — hackers and creators who love their Mac because it has today what PCs will have in four years.

hello,
i’m frustrated by the fact that Apartment Therapy, one of my
favorite sites, is one of my least favorite feeds because so little of
the content appears in the feed — just the initial, truncated

The Web browser incurs HTTP 406 errors! (Yes, 406! 406!!!). This seems to be caused by […]

I spent about six months with a RIM BlackBerry phone/pager and barely lived to tell the tale. This is my story.

Archaic ringtones. No MP3 support — This is a harsh awakening if you’re migrating from a Nokia, as I was.
No syncing with OS X machines, without purchasing buggy, third-party shareware
Connection Amnesia […]

For the Firefox users out there annoyed by Firefox’s handling of the feed: URI scheme mess, may I please present Feed:Eater, a greasemonkey script which silently replaces feed:http:// URLs with auto-subscribe links that work in your favorite online feed-reader!

The bad things?

Out of Date Software — the package ships with v4.5.7, while the website has 4.6. Now it’s […]
