3D Camera adds depth to your iPhone photography {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 26th 2009 11:58AM Actually, the test image you show isn't of the "cross-eyed" variety. It requires parallel viewing, where the left eye looks at the left image, and the right eye looks at the right image. And that's fine with me, because I find that method much easier than the cross-eye method.
New York Preview: 2008 Subaru Tribeca {Autoblog}
Apr 3rd 2007 9:14AM I had always assumed that B9 was a homonym for "benign", implying that the Subaru was friendlier than the average SUV.
First impression: buying a movie from the iTunes Store {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 13th 2006 7:52AM I also purchased Pirates of the Caribbean. It doesn't look anywhere near HD, but it was surprisingly watchable on my 51" 1080p DLP television. I was also pleased that the entire movie only took about 8 minutes to download over FIOS. Not bad, Apple.
Microsoft releases Windows Vista Beta 2 to public {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2006 12:21AM Just downloaded the 32-bit version. It took about 19 minutes to download (love FIOS). I'm going to try to install it on Parallels under Mac OS X.
Rig of the Day: I like TV {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 24th 2006 12:07AM Metrobilly, I did connect the Comcast box the the Mac Mini via FireWire and was able to record High Definition TV. Unfortunately, I haven't found any high-quality intel-native software to schedule these recordings. I may end up waiting for a Series III Tivo.
Halopend, the back of the cabinet is open to the closet, which seems to allow for sufficient ventilation at this point. When summer really hits, I may need to divert a SpacePak duct into the closet for cooling.
Joe, yes the Mac Mini sends its output the the Samsung for viewing of ripped DVDs and High-Definition recordings made with the EyeTV 500 tuner.
Rig of the Day: I like TV {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 23rd 2006 5:20PM I couldn't have put it into any of the other walls without either building an addition on the house (divorce) or having the TV stick into the master bedroom (divorce). It's really not that bad to watch from the couch. If anyone is interested in a similar setup, I'd be happy to put you in touch with the contractor who did the work. He's a great guy and does top-quality work.
Image of the Day: awwwwwww {ParentDish}
Apr 11th 2006 8:57AM That's the receiving blanket from the hospital. This picture was taken the day after Austin was born. He weighed about six and a half pounds. Thanks for making this picture of the day!
Deathcab for Cutie video album {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Mar 31st 2006 2:56PM This is a phenomenal collection of music videos, by the way. If you're even remotely interested in DCfC, give it a download. Summer Skin is my favorite.
Latest crackpot rumor: Apple to add "touch finger LCDs" {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2006 11:23AM I hope this rumor is false. I cannot stand touch screens of any kind. I prefer the original iPod with its rotating wheel to the newer iPods. Why? I like to be able to operate a device blindly. A mechanical interface provides tactile feedback -- you know when you've pressed a button or operated a control. A touch screen provides no such feedback. Heck, I even prefer the original ruby-bearing PowerBook Track-Ball to the Track-Pad of current machines.
But it does seem that Apple is moving in this direction. Take a look at the progression of the iPod and the Mighty Mouse towards solid-state interfaces.
(Not to mention grimy fingerprints on the LCD screen) No thanks.
"Spiral Scouts" offer Pagan alternative to boy and girl scouts {ParentDish}
Jan 12th 2006 9:39AM I kind of like the idea of this, but is it too much to ask to have a youth organization without some kind of religious affiliation or political bent?
I no more want my child influenced by pagans or wiccans than I do christians or scientologists. Any ideas?
