iTunes 7 Interface
A couple of weeks ago Apple released iTunes 7 . Some Mac users were a tad disappointed with the user-interface changes in the new version. Especially the new scroll bars . It seems like Apple is...
For the first time I actually wish I had an Xbox 360. Apparently, at some point in the future Guitar Hero II will be available for the Xbox 360 and will include downloadable songs. However,...
Check this out. GPS navigation software for the PSP . Now I really want a PSP! I'm not even being sarcastic either. Ever since we got our van with GPS navigation I have wanted to get some kind...
There's no end to the various ways you can work "Wii" into a sentence or headline as a substitute for "We". It's only a matter of time before this practice wears itself out. Anyway, I always...
The HD Tivo has arrived and it's $800. Hmm. Yet another roadblock in the long list of roadblocks to getting HD in our house. You'll also need at least one CableCARD -- two if you want to record...
So, it's highly likely that Apple will start selling downloadable movies through iTunes sometime soon. It'll be interesting to see how this takes off compared to television show downloads. TV...
Happy Labor Day Weekend! We're not planning on doing much for Labor Day at the Luton household except go to a BBQ at a friend's house on Sunday. If you get bored you can always check out...

Here's the video I uploaded to test out the nifty new upload progress bar we have for our video upload tool. Wow. I managed to get the word 'upload' in that last sentence three times....
Despite the fact that I work for a games publication I play them surprisingly little. However, I have played a lot of Guitar Hero over the past few months. It's hands down the most fun I've had...
Movies are getting to be too long. I wish I had a large amount of actual data to prove my point but I remember back in the early nineties most movies were somewhere between 1:40 and 1:50. Now it's...
Does anybody know why Yahoo's new fancy video player crashes Safari when YouTube , Google Video , this site, and every other Flash-based video player on the internet work perfectly fine in...
Now this is kind of interesting. Check out this demonstration video on Dashboard on Apple's Leopard Sneak Preview site. The Web Clip stuff is in the first part of the video. How does this...
I wanted to see how the video upload tool works so I dug up this little gem from dusty corners of my hard drive. [video=I30wxDKv5bsOuD_Z]
Who knew? This makes me want to run out an buy a bunch of Diet Coke and Mentos and start filimg.
Anything by Iron Maiden. Run To the Hills would be nice. Maybe The Trooper or anything from Piece of Mind . Man, I love Iron Maiden's music!
Something by Avenged Sevenfold would be great. It certainly would be one of the more difficult songs but I'd love to see Bat Country.
It pains me to say this but when it comes to PHP development on OSX over a Samba connection then Zend Studio is the way to go. The main problem with TextMate is that when editing files over a Samba...
This seems to explain global warming quite nicely.
Finally! A decent mouse from Apple . This is cool and all but what took them so long?
