Skype for iPhone
The WSJ is reporting that Skype is finally being released for the iPhone. Check the AppStore Tuesday for the official release. Personally this is the most wanted app on my phone. I’m hoping it will work with backgrounder.

Does the iPhone suck?
photo by by Joy23
When the iPhone was first announced I, like everyone else, wanted one. I took my own advice by holding off on getting a first generation device and waited for the prices to come down and for potential bugs to be ironed out. Now that I’ve had 2 weeks with the iPhone 3G [...]
Huawei modem and OSX without Mobile Connect
Huawei drivers for Mac are troublesome. After working with the Huawei E272 for a few weeks and trying several configurations I’ve come up with one that seems to work ‘better’. Let me start by saying that the Mobile Internet experience is not seamless. You should expect network drop off, disconnects and other general frustrations with [...]
Huawei e272 pairs nicely with MacBook
After deciding on Celcom 3g, I bought the Huawei e272 from Andrew on LowYat. I’ve not had a chance to do much testing but it was very easy to set up on the Mac. The design is quite nice and looks great with the white MacBook. A bit of 2 sided velcro tape keeps it [...]

OSX 10.6 Exchange support added
The most welcome feature for me in Snow Leopard is Outlook Exchange support built into Apple Mail. Having to use Entourage just to access an exchange server sucks. Let’s hope Apple is working hard on getting this feature rock solid. All the more reason for enterprise to adopt OSX.

Dropbox with symbolic links in finder
+ =
Dropbox is a great service but it only backs up data in your Dropbox folder. Like me you probably have existing folders you’d like to backup without moving everything under your dropbox folder. Solution, symbolic links. SymbolicLinker is a cool plugin for creating symbolic links using Finder from the right click menu. [...]
Pystar lawyers accuse Apple of anticompetitive tactics

Hackintosh PC users everywhere will be watching this case. Hopefully Apple learns to think different on this one. Apple is missing a huge opportunity by not opening up the Mac OS to run on other platforms. Apple’s losing billions in revenue by not selling OSX separate from their cool Asus manufactured hardware.

Cool finder trick: type to locate files
image by FHKE
Accidently found this one. You might already know this trick. Try typing the first several characters of the file you are looking for in an active Finder (OSX) window. Reminds me of Quicksilver.
Anyone know how long this has been in OSX ?

I don’t have an iPhone and won’t be buying one until it records video like a champ + does not have a glass screen.. I drop my phone several times a year. It happens.. But if I did have an iPhone.. I’d be loading up the new WordPress app to give it a [...]
Apple is now 3rd largest PC vendor in the USA
I’ve been using a Hackintosh for the past 2 years and recently bought a Macbook. No product is perfect but I have to say that overall I’m quite happy with my real Apple and find myself using the Osx86 desktop for heavy lifting like encoding video, burning DVDs & gaming. Macbook most of the time [...]
