We have all seen the famous film of the woman who took a picture of herself every day for 3 years. If you haven’t seen it, check it out after the break. I though this was very cool and ever since I saw the video, I have been trying to take a picture of myself everyday. This article explains how to setup a task on your Mac so you can take a picture of yourself everyday.
If you know anything about me then you should be well convinced that I am an Apple fanatic. I waste spend several hours a week reading about Apple rumors in hopes of getting to see the “Well be back soon.” sticky note on the Apple Store. Seriously, I can’t think of any other thing I can see on a computer monitor that gets me as excited as the anticipation of new Apple products. Sadly however, I have been long overdue for a new Mac.
As the title suggests, this post will explain how you can securely surf the Internet by tunneling your HTTP traffic via SSH. To ensure that you can use this process while surfing on any computer, I will be using only PortableApps to configure and setup the tunnel. By using PortableApps, you can be ensured that you can securely check your email on your friends computer; connected to a nearby unsecured wireless network (Probably linksys or default!). Enough babbling lets get started.
The Apple Store was down earlier today which means Apple is updating a product! What product was given an opportunity to “WOW” us all? This time it was an updated MacBook. Before you get too excited, the update was very minute, and in my opinion disappointing. I guess I was optimistically hoping the MacBook and MacBook Pro would both get Intel Santa Rosa processors and LED backlit LCD screens.
I am seriously considering buying a Apple laptop this summer and was hoping the MacBook would get a nice upgrade first since it has not changed in a while. With this announcement, this new MacBook maybe the only extra “bang for buck” I get. I am however notorious for buying an Apple computer and it going obsolete in a few months (iMac G4: one month later the iMac G5 came out!, iMac G5 with iSight: two months later the MacIntel came along). If I buy this, Apple will no doubt release a brand new product to replace it!. Unless Apple releases the rumored 13″ MacBook Pro with SSD and no optical bay, this will probably be the computer I end up with. Regardless, I will wait until after WWDC 2007 to see what Steve Jobs has to say about the topic.
For all you MacIntel users who need to run Windows, Apple has updated is dual boot tool, Boot Camp. One of the most notable new features is the support for Windows Vista. This 138 MB download (version 1.2 beta) contains several updates.
The new features include:
Of course to utilize Boot Camp you need a Mac with an Intel architecture. Since I am still stuck with my PPC, you’ll have to seek Paul for experience using the software. I’m sure he will have a posting of this soon.
