    IP over Firewire

    Apple has just released a preview of some software that will allow you to do TCP/IP over Firewire. Should make things easy for a quick and dirty NAT setup.

    An iMac of a Diffrent color

    I saw this on a web site that was talking about taking apart the eMac. I found this more interesting than the eMac disection though, as its a new iMac thats black. Anyone know if Apple actually produced any of these, or is this just a paint job? Oh, and here is the link to the eMac...

    The Register is running this this article, which is interesting in its own right, but more interesting than that is this: Dominic is the person who wrote BeFS, and Benoit is the person who wrote Be's previous file store, which was a database. Hopefully Dominic can bring some good things to...

    War3 beta sign up is Windows only

    Damn it. Whether or not the beta is for the mac, the registration is not. It says you need IE on Windows to sign up. The anouncement for the beta did not mention which OS's were included and since it is going to be simultaneously released for the mac and PC, I naturaly assumed the beta was...

My Lacie exernal SCSI burner will only make coasters anymore, but it works great as a cd-rom. It acts like its burning fine, but durring verification or trying to use it, it...

    Thread Viewer

    Hi- I noticed a cool app in the dev tools last night, ThreadViewer. Lets you attach to a running app and view the threads that are running in it and their activity. Funny thing is that MSN Messenger is running about 7 threads that are pretty equal in running time. The Finder on the other...

    Some GNU humor for 10.1

    Here is some GNU humor that I found quite appropriate for the 10.1 upgrade, from http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/software.terms.html Version 1.0: Buggier than Maine in June; eats data. Version 1.1: Eats data only occasionally; upgrade is free, to avoid litigation by disgruntled users of...
