If the portable console continues to be so successful Nintendo […]

I am looking for an application that will convert AIFF or WAV files to AAC or MP3. Needs to be Mac software.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Great. Now another clone of another iPod, simply named the “IPOD Mini”. While there are slight differences and it has an FM tuner and voice-recorder, it’s again, near identical in form factor and overall design to the iPod mini.

The term “supershuffle” was at least some attempt to diverge from the name. But, […]

RSS is getting more exposure to those who may not have been exposed to it before. Today I ran across a post on the Yahoo! SearchBlog that says the Yahoo! toolbar is now autodiscovering RSS feeds and allowing people to save them to their My Yahoo! account.
In addition to that, there are plugins for the […]

As was just announced on The Screen Savers today, the show will be changing its name on Monday, March 28th to Attack of the Show. Due to what […]

Spammers really do have no conscience at all.
Here is an article on the case of an Oklahoma City man who tried to opt-out of spam he was receiving from a company in Virginia. Instead of honoring his request, the company sues him in Federal Court for defamation (for calling them Spammers), costing him money in […]

BusinessWeek Online has an article by Olga Kharif questioning whether the Slashdot Effect has, well, lost its effect. Basically, sites that used to see a significant jump in traffic when linked on Slashdot now see much smaller increases in traffic. One example given is TomsHardware.com which used to see a 30% increase in […]

This was posted over at BoingBoing today, but I thought it was so cool I just needed to share it here.
A BoingBoing reader e-mailed and submitted the link to a script that he has been working on. It automatically parses through the available clips from Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and presents them in an […]

One of the big things at SXSW this past year was people posting their photos to their Flickr photostreams. I called it FlickrBlogging. One minute you were sitting in the hallway with 15 other people, 10 minutes later a picture of it was on Flickr (guilty as charged on all counts, officer).
Anyway, here is an […]

Somewhat tied into the post Griffith made a week or so ago asking about your favorite IRC client, here are 10 of the best scripts and addons available for the popuar client mIRC.
Number 6 in the list isn’t a script or addon at all, but a tutorial for writing your own scripts, which is an […]

Macs used to have this great device for ejecting CDs that were stuck in the drive. It was a tiny hole that you stuck a paper clip in and it would manually eject the CD.
Apparently that was just too simple a solution. There are still a few tricks you can use to get that stubborn […]

A friend of mine recently stumbled across a topic on the Neowin.net forums that has a pretty extensive list of freeware which some might find helpfull.
It covers pretty much everything from IRC Clients to 3D Graphics. This topic together with cleansoftware.org are enough to make any Windows running computer a safer, more productive and […]

Enterprising people come up with some excellent things when given an API. I’ve mentioned flickrGraph and Mappr. This time it’s spelling with flickr.

Enter a word, and it spells out your word with flickr photos. It appears to deliver its results by combing letter tags.

From CNet:
Aspyr Media, a specialist in converting Windows games to run on Macs, announced on Monday that a version of the popular shooting game for Apple’s OS X operating system will go on sale March 19.
It’s nice to see such a big title running on almost all platforms, including game consoles (with it’s XBox […]

Subversion is the cool kid in version control land. Or at least I think so. And if you’re going to use Subversion to watch over your revisions, you’ll need a client. Jeremy Jones has done some leg work in client comparision in his Subversion UI Shootout article.

The articles compares RapidSVN, TortoiseSVN, and […]

Here is a how-to that explains…well, how to…hack your ipod to use a 3.5 inch hard drive (normal size) with your iPod.
Ultimately, I’d like to get a regular 3.5″ hard drive working with the iPod and explore what capacities it can make use of. The fact that it would be a huge unit will […]
