It’s almost unsettling how many choices you have when deciding what kind of iPhone case you’d like to buy. Do you get one that charges your phone, or looks cool? Is it a wallet? Or a steering wheel? The BookBook fits into the wallet category.
Lots of interesting stuff including Ryan discussing OS/2 at length. This portion is especially compelling: I find if you’re targeting Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X right from the start, your code will probably work anywhere else that you might try it later. Not to long ago, people would say, “why bother? Everyone runs Windows!” [...]
After the futile Tango Pro review, I’m ready for all kinds of unexpected failures in attempting to fit this over-sized hard-drive behemoth into a case designed for regular 2.5″ SATA drives. OWC was theoretically ready for this situation with their OWC Mercury On-The-Go enclosure. It is available in a variety of port configurations, but I [...]
There are a lot of reasons to be interested in mechanical keyboards over rubber-dome models. Much of what I could tell you about rubber-dome keyboards versus mechanical switching has been already said. Rather than reinventing the wheel we’ll reread a classic part of what Dan said about mechanical keyboards: The big deal about these old keyboards [...]
I had planned on reviewing this Tango Pro USB/Firewire HDD enclosure this weekend. I drove down to Microcenter, picked up the Tango Pro, and then since Microcenter didn’t have the HDD I wanted I got that from Fry’s. You’ve probably heard of the drive I wanted to use, it is the only 1 Terabyte 2.5 [...]
[Various points of data showing how iPhone OS app, iTeleport generates a ton of revenue despite being priced at $25 snipped...] We also hope this demonstrates that you can build a business on the App Store. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, or that you’ll automatically make more money if you raise your price, or that [...]

I wandered up to Scott, who was leaning against a table showcasing the new device, introduced myself, and got right down to business. “Why’s the time changed? Heck, why does the iPhone show 9:42 in the first place?” Scott looked around conspiratorially, and then chuckled. “You want to know the real reason for that time?” [...]

Rocketcat Games has been running a pre-release adhoc beta of Hook Champ. It is an 8-bit style side-scroller with very simple touch controls. You’re an infamous adventurer that starts each mission by swapping out a fancy idol for a fake one, of course it never works and you’re left to run away with your treasure. [...]
8Bitone is an iPhone synthesizer and sequencer of impeccable taste. If you have some time on your hands, check out the excellent tutorials posted on the author’s site.
Vimperator is a free browser add-on for Firefox, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in. via Vimperator – vimperator labs.
Hulu Desktop (available for Mac and Windows) seemed like a great idea when I heard about it earlier, so I’ve taken it for a test drive with some original Battlestar Galactica and found it to be better than the experience of watching through the browser. How so? Firefox on Mac at least is riddled with [...]
