Confession: I hate my Apple TV

Aug 6th 2009 4:48AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

AppleTV + Elgato Turbo.264 HD + iFlicks = downloading bliss. Y'all are missing out.

Mac OS X Java security hole exposed

May 20th 2009 4:22PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I can't remember the last time I encountered a Java applet. Is this technology still needed for anything?

iPhone RFID prototype is very cool

Apr 15th 2009 4:41PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Why exactly would you be worried about RFID in an iPhone? An iPhone is always connected to a cellular network, which can be used to find where you are. By the time someone would be close enough to track your position from an embedded RFID device, they've already found you. In other words, if you're worried about being tracked by a signal with a range of no more than a meter, then the last thing you should own is *any* mobile phone.

Mac 101: Spotlight, your application-launching pal

Aug 12th 2008 6:41PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

heh. I just tried it, and Spotlight brought up about eight different files with "safari" in the name as the top hit, including various stylesheets, a file called MobileSafariSettings.bundle, and even a few songs.

It eventually settled on a folder called "safari", which turned out to be a TinyMCE plug-in for Safari compatibility.

ProjectPlus for TextMate

Aug 6th 2008 7:14PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

So other than the look of the panel vs the drawer, why exactly would I want to use this? I already get SVN functionality and various other features on this checklist using stock Textmate with the included bundles. But if there's something that this does better, I'd love to hear about it.

Cruising San Francisco Bay by the sun in 2009

Nov 10th 2007 5:44PM on Autoblog Green

This could be great news, if this ends up as a model for use in other kinds of shipping. Especially with the recent oil spill disaster in our bay, getting fuel and oil out of the boats would be huge.

Apple releases iPhone 1.1.2 update

Nov 8th 2007 11:20PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I wonder if the international keyboards come with international dictionaries. It's a bit difficult to type in italian when every word gets corrected!

More new iPhone ads up on Apple.com

Oct 18th 2007 1:13AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Does anyone else find it strange there's only one woman in the ads? Surely Apple isn't stuck in the "toys for boys" mindset about electronics.

iPhone wins awards, will win a lot more before 2008

Oct 13th 2007 1:03AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The Wii is great, but that was 2006's gadget of the year. I can't think of any other device in 2007 that received more talk than the iPhone, starting from the rumors to its announcement in January to its release in June and every point in between and after. Love it or hate it, own it or not, 2007 was absolutely the year of the iPhone.

iPhone WebApps directory is live

Oct 11th 2007 9:24PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

There is definitely an AIM "client" in their directory:

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
