As I talked about earlier, today was the Apple special, invite-only event. They announced the Intel Mac Mini with two options for the processor, single or dual core. The Core Duo runs at 1.67GHz while the single core, Core Solo, model runs at 1.5GHz and comes with 512MB. Both models sport DDR2 PC-5300 RAM and can hold up to 2GB’s, up from the older mini’s 1GB. It seems as though there are only 2 models, starting at $599 and $799, all shipping with iLife ‘06 and an upgraded Front Row. They also announced an iPod Hi-Fi, which is some sort of boom box with twin speakers and a subwoofer [click to continue…]

Most bloggers don’t do this, but I’m not most bloggers. Here’s what I have planned for the near future (after my CS midterm tuesday and maybe some other school obstacles) for this blog… I will be taking a look at Box.net’s new online filesharing service, which combines Web 2.0 (things like lightbox coding as featured in 30Boxes‘ calendar) and online storage. You can beat me to it and signup for an account with [click to continue…]

Many of you have taken my RoundCube installation guide to heart despite some of the RoundCube alpha’s problems and shortcomings. RoundCube is a revolutionary webmail client, better than anything like Squirrel Mail, featuring a very lightweight codebase and an AJAX-ified interface. However, Thomas Bruederli of RoundCube has recently announced the release of RoundCube v0.1-beta. I have yet to update my RoundCube install [click to continue…]

One of these features is groups, which allow you to share photos and discussions with people. Dozens of groups are made everyday, but only a few can survive. Today we’ll explore creating a flickr group that can grab anyone’s attention and become a thriving virtual destination. [click to continue…]

I’ve setup a WordPress.com blog where I talk about personal stuff or just things I can’t find a place for on a technology blog. Things like exotic cars I’ve seen that day will find a home on stammy.wordpress.com. Stammy is my unofficial nickname as first given to me by Paul Scrivens, CEO of 9rules. Anyways, check that out if you want to know what I do or think about in my down time.

I was hesitant about blogging about this, as seemingly everyone has already heard that Apple will be holding a special event on February 28th. I thought I would take a different stance and ask everyone what they think Apple will unveil at this event. My prediction includes a 13.3″ iBook (named simply MacBook not MacBook Pro) with a single-core Intel Yonah processor and accompanying mobile chipset with integrated iSight and Front Row. I’m not so sure if Front Row would make it in, but it would sure be nice. The reason I think a MacBook is coming is that I believe Apple [click to continue…]

Everyone’s favorite blog tracking, ranking and tag search engine service, Technorati, has just added a new feature to their services list. Favorites lets you create a publicly viewable list of your favorite bloggers, making it incredibly easy to keep track of their content. Each person is allowed to store up to 50 favorites and is given a public URL with this format: http://technorati.com/faves/username. For example, you can look at my favorites with this link.

Just today, it was reported on Secunia that an extremely critical OS X flaw has been discovered. The problem arises from the way OS X handles the __MACOSX folder in ZIP-compressed archives. This problem exists even in the most updated Mac system running OS X 10.4.5. All I can say right now is that you should be very careful about what archives you open.
