MacMage has released a great little app called Cents, which provides a super convenient and quick way to keep track of how much money one is spending.
From the Cents website: “We never realize how much we spend on the little things in life… but it all adds up. This pocket app will help you keep track of your little spendings and show you how much you’ve spent.”
Check it out! Requires Leopard, $4.99.
I installed the latest version of ZiPhone to jail break my iPhone. I installed several apps and everything was working pretty well. I was enjoying Tap Tap Revolution. After installing a terminal application, my iPhone ran into a slight problem…
(Sorry the video stalls a bit.)
So, you have an Intel Mac and want the best of both worlds.
Sure, you can use Boot Camp, if you don’t mind restarting your computer when
you need Windows. Now for myself, I did try Boot Camp with Windows XP,
but then it also wanted updates, and I was not able to go online via
Windows, so that is where my experiment stopped. Then I had heard of
trying a demo copy of Parallels from their website, so I gave that a
try. Parallels did the trick! I was able to get online, I did not have
to do anything. Plug and Play, that’s for me. This is why I own a Mac,
right? So, if you have a need to run Windows along side the Apple OS,
this could do the trick. Be aware that this will also be sucking up
your RAM, and Windows may also want updates, so no bootlegs kiddies!
So, you are looking at the cost of Parallels along with the cost of a Windows disk.
I only tried out XP, so I can not say what fun Vista may bring.
I did also use the Windows version of Yahoo messenger while trying out Parallels, and that was much more fun then the Mac version. I then tried a web cam, but did not get too far on that. So, if you need two worlds in one computer, this can be a solution.
Alright, here’s something kind of nice about Windows XP. I’m sure it’s happened to every Mac user at least once. You mistakenly open several documents launching twenty different applications. Although Vista is plagued with annoying alerts and irrelevant messages, this is one of the few that should be in Mac OS X.
I wouldn’t typically say I talk much about other companies taking or building off of Apple design ideas. But I was in a Best Buy yesterday and found two computers side-by-side. One was the current iMac and the other was a desktop computer from HP with a monitor that looked a little too much like the iMac. It was black around the screen with a metal color around the edge. Like the iMac, the keyboard fits very well under the computer laying on the base.
Although, I have not too much against this kind of thing. I was actually a big fan of the eOne from eMachine.
Dear Apple. Where is our webcam?
Yes, Apple does now have built in webcams on many models,
however, several models have been left behind. Abandoned.
With Apple discarding the iSight camera, the Mac Pro and Mac Mini
have been left behind without a replacement by Apple.
What is Apple’s strategy here? To get customers to buy other models?
Who cares? I do! I have a Mac Mini and would like to buy another, but can not
understand why Apple would stop production of the one camera they make,
without making a new replacement. Well Apple, where is it?
This is another episode of How To Make the Mac Not Suck for Power Users. In this episode I’ll show you how to make a great looking “Windows Start Button” on the Dock with hi-resolution icons and seamless integration with OS X through VMWare Fusion in Unity Mode.
Here’s the button on the dock…
Here’s what it looks like when you click on the button!
I’ve provided a high resolution icon pack for everyone. Download the high resolution Windows Icons here. These icons are from http://www.wincustomize.com so go there to check out more icons.
And finally, here is the video tutorial…
