Having recently switched to OSX from Windows, I am continually impressed by the type of innovations that Apple continues to release for it Operating System.Integral features, that have distinct usability.For example, TimeMachine vs any Backup solution on Windows that I have ever come across.Now, Chinese Character input, on your trackpad. Coming to OSX in 10.6:

My father is a wood worker. He loves working with it. He does finish carpentry, builds homes like the one I grew up in around Upstate NY and recently builds Adirondack Chairs and Steel Lap Guitars. I was recently researching Fibonacci sequences and found the following video: Then it came to me. Is the Golden Ratio applied to Interface Design? Is there a relationship between navigation

Recently Lucas Mearian wrote an article for Computer World titled "What your computer's drive(s) will look like in 5 years".I found the article interesting except I disagree in one significant way.Computers won't have just one 'Drive'I believe computer's in the not-so-distant future will have dedicated and quite possibly on-system-board SSD for the Operating System with very high performance, but

As a bit of background, I have been a PalmOS user nearly since it's inception.Now Palm has introduced a new Operating System for it's new "Pre" Phone called WebOS.This could be perceived as fantastic, as Palm is long overdue to seriously re-engineer it's OS model.Or lackluster, if you think Android and iPhone are the answer to all life's problems.I have a question for Palm, and really for the

As a big user of proxies in China, I really grew fond of the FoxyProxy extension for FireFox once my good friend Alex exposed me to it. It allows you to set rules for when to use which proxies. This can be a big benefit as many sites in China work fine and you don't want or need to use a proxy to see them. I have historically used FoxyProxy with Secure-Tunnel and had great results. Their

So I've spent the last few months exploring OSX and how it positions itself in the OS marketplace.I purchased a used iBook G4 for RMB 3300 (~$500 at the time of this entry) and upgraded the RAM from 512mb to 1gb and promptly reloaded a fresh 10.5.x from Disc.Now, this machine is largely underpowered for 10.5 I have heard online, but I was surprised at how well it coped with all the overhead of

As a long time user of PalmOS-based devices since their inception, I have a keen interest in seeing the capacities of those products (either hardware or software-based in perspective) continue.I've had plenty of them, US Robotics devices, a Kyocera 6035, a Kyocera 7135, Treo 650, and at the time of this article a Treo 680.But Palm keeps playing games putting off providing innovations on their
