I can just see it now:

Mechanic: “What seems to be the problem?”
Customer: “I’m not sure. My car just freaked out yesterday. The windshield wipers started wiping, the lights were flashing on and off, and when I turned on the radio, I got a BSOD.”
Mechanic: “Hmm, sounds like you caught a [...]

If you have 2 computers that you would like to control with just one mouse and keyboard (and without a KVM switch), then check out this application. It uses a VNC server on one machine and automatically connects and switches all mouse and keyboard actions to that computer from the one your keyboard/mouse are automatically [...]

Wired has a great piece written by Gary Wolf where he acts as Microsoft Emplyee Linus Torvalds writing a letter to Bill about the problems Steve is causing with the new Windows desktop/application framework built around Linux.
But the fact is, when Steve goes to a marketing meeting, as he did yesterday, and pronounces our desktop [...]

If you have a PocketPC and wish you could take some music with you when you leave your desk (and don’t want to drop cash for an iPod), check you the WiFiTunes application, currently in alpha.
This application will discover via Rendezvous any iTunes running on Macs or PCs on your local network and allow you [...]

I am on a quest to find the best anime sites on the web and so far I am failing in that quest. Miserably. Care to help me out by telling me what your favorite Anime/Manga sites are?

Since I am an editor here now, I thought I would at least give this a shot, especially seeing that the other editors have had such success with it.
I only need 3 referrals to get a free ipod, so if anyone is feeling generous:

Via slashdot, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have all announced that their next generation game consoles will be on display at E3 in May. Whether or not they will be playable is still in question.
In the latest (and last) edition of XBN, it was rumored that Microsoft was shooting for a November 2005 release of its [...]

This is one of those things where the answer might be totally obvious, but it continues to elude me. I also know that I am attempting to use the Windows UI paradigm inside the OS X environment. With that said I still need to hear the logic behind why things work like this.
For every application [...]

Back in the late 80s, when I was in college, I owned an Amiga 500. The OS booted off of a floppy, but it had loads of memory (relative to all my dormmates PCs), had awesome sound and graphics, and it was all native. Even that was an upgrade from a Commodore 64, [...]

I came across another interesting wiki during my apparent wiki kick — ResumeWiki.

ResumeWiki is a community-driven resume editing service. It was born out of JeremyWright’s desire to provide a resource where people can get the ultimate resume to help them get the perfect job.

ResumeWiki is powered by PmWiki.

Lots of people, including our own Scrivs, are concerned about the 4,200rpm hard drive that ships with the Mac mini. A lot of people have wondered if the performance would be increased with a faster drive, or if it’s limited by the controller on the motherboard.
The answer is, the faster the drive, the faster the [...]

I am sure most people have already seen this, but in case you haven’t, here goes. O’Reilly has two books in the cooker that will focus on the Firefox browser.
The first book is Firefox Hacks, which is aimed at power users of the popular web browser.
The second book has a really great title, Don’t Click [...]

Ars Technica has just published a guide for would-be switchers, those who may decide to take the plunge and junk their PC in favor of the new MacMini.
This is a really good primer for those who may be new to the Mac platform or just need to brush up their skills. Probably the hardest thing [...]

The Register has pointed out that a stat tracking graphic placed on the main powerbook page is labeled:
http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g5_powerbook

It’s a 1×1 gif used for tracking purposes. All of the graphics on all of the other product pages are unique, and are all named appropriately, with the correct processor.
So… Is it just a typo or a coincidence, [...]

Matt Burris has found yet another way to use a wiki. This incarnation is a global cookbook.

Wikipes came about when a friend suggested that we should put together a recipe blog. After much thinking about the subject, suddenly an idea developed of starting a recipe site using wiki technology so everyone can share their [...]

Alright so my first question in the Mac Question Session section is what is a good P2P software package to use? On the PC I loved WinMX because it served my needs. What should I look into on the OS X platform?
