Greenpeace vs. Apple = GreenApple?

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Just a short link to the current Greenpeace campaign to ban hazardous substances from computers. The campaign website is a clone of Apples WebDesign - very nice! We love Apple. Apple knows more about “clean” design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that […]

How to cooldown your MacBook

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Macs are cool, but I guess the more MacBooks people buy, the less children we will have. Not only because we’re spending to much time in front of our 13″, but because “the area”, exactly the private one, gets toasted. “The body needs to maintain a proper testicular temperature for normal sperm production and development,” Sheynkin […]

MacBook-Zahnstein bei 65°C

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

seit einer Woche aus dem “Kurzurlaub” zurück und die grossspurige Ankündigung bald auch wieder mal etwas zu flickern (= Verbreiten digitaler Fotos auf einer virtuellen Plattform im Internet), darunter Kostbarkeiten wie “Tony, das XXXXXXL-Handy” und ein Schnappschuss zum Thema “Das Ostdeutsche Kind - UnFrisuren des Jahres 2006″. Um noch eine Brücke zum Titel schlagen, heute die […]

Howto switch between two iTunes Libraries with PILS

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

iTunes is my favorite application to organize all my ‘audio-stuff’. Unlike iPhoto it can handle even very large libraries (total listening time today would be 48 days, 8 hours, 18 minutes and 43 seconds). Unfortunately this collection has twice the size of my iBooks internal harddrive, so most of it is stored on an external 200-gig […]

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Uhm, once again about computers? Yes todays special is about OS X (of course) and how you can improve the work with your data. Let me clarify what I mean with the term ‘work with your data’. Most actions can be summarized by one of these four major actions: use (edit, view, listen…) organize (to find it again) secure […]

AirportExpress’ing anything with Airfoil

Friday, October 14th, 2005

I always thought that the Airport Express is only half done, because it only supports iTunes. Rogue Amoeba once again has filled the gap with Airfoil. With Airfoil you can stream any audio to your Airport-Express. Well done! Thanks.

Geek nightmare review on arstechnica - impossible small? impossible cruel!

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

I’ve seen “Land Of The Dead” a few days ago, pretty boring and compared to the iPod nano review on arstechnica not really shocking. If you’re asking yourself how fragile the newest iPod is, check out the iPod nano review but make sure to have some tissues nearby. They call it stress testing. What does it […]

Since people asked to include dollars, get a fresh copy of the ‘iBook vs. PowerBook Comparison Table’ (PDF, 40 kB).

Which one should I buy? iBook vs. Powerbook Comparison Table

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

Today Apple upgraded its iBook-Product line. Even when some of you are disappointed because there’s no widescreen 14″ iBook, I think the current update will be the last before the ‘new’ (Intel-based) iBook and Powerbooks come out. The difference to a powerbook is now the smallest ever. So which one to get? They all have Airport […]
