The ‘Real’ Windows Vista

By | January 31, 2006

These have been floating around for a while now… but if you haven’t seen them, they’re quite funny. Someone has taken the audio from an actual Windows Vista (formerly known as Longhorn) demo, and replaced the video with shots of OS X. I wonder if Microsoft will ever actually release Vista?

By | January 27, 2006

As I mentioned the other day, I had to report back yesterday for part II of Jury Duty selection. We immediately went in to the courtroom, and I was selected in the first round. For the rest of the day I was known as Juror #6. The trial was for a murder case. A man [...]

Yojimbo

By | January 25, 2006

BareBones Software, makers of popular apps like BBEdit, TextWrangler, and Super Get Info, recently released Yojimbo. It’s been generating a lot of talk on Mac sites, so I thought I would throw in my two cents.
