Here’s a Christmas gift I wasn’t expecting… Kega Fusion has been ported to Mac OS X!
Kega Fusion is one of the most popular SEGA Genesis + CD + 32X emulators out there, and the developer has just finished porting it as his first Mac app.
This really opens up a lot of potential for better emulation [...]

I don’t like when companies over generalize. So, when iD CEO Todd Hollenshead made the following remarks, I got a little ticked. Basically, iD is asserting that Quake ports to iPhone must be sanctioned by iD, in order to be released:
“Hollenshead informed us that ZodTTD’s port would be illegal and not sanctioned by the company [...]

With the latest iPhone update, I’ve found myself doing something I didn’t do before… listening to podcasts.
Like many, I just didn’t see the need for them. If I want to watch a video, I’ll search for it on the web, download it… and usually watch it in higher quality than via a podcast. I don’t [...]

If you own a MacBook Pro (Early 2008), the model that was just discontinued, it looks like you’ve got a bit of a reason to be ticked off. See, Apple never enabled the older MacBook Pro’s onboard H.264 decoding abilities. That means when you watch an H.264 movie, your CPU spikes to (or near) the [...]

Tiger and Apple TV will put Apple in an interesting situation, once Snow Leopard comes out.
See, Apple has a house rule on product lifespan. Only the prior, major, release of Mac OS X is to be supported. That means that if a device can’t be upgraded to the last version of Mac OS X, it [...]

I like free software. I don’t like when people make it a death wish.
I didn’t see this post on the Free Software Foundation blog until this morning. Quite simply, they have started giving false statements and half-truths about Apple and the App Store, in order to promote free and open source software. Quoting their five reasons [...]

Along with MobileMe’s launch came the lack of a feature that was in .Mac: Web Bookmark access.
Now, most would say that Apple’s primary excuse for gutting the feature would be that most people didn’t use it. And, I’m sure parsing sync data to display bookmarks in a web format might have taken some adaptation (not [...]

One thing that has really caused me to scratch my head since last June, is the difference between how the Ambient Light Sensors (ALS) on iPhone and Mac respond. After doing a lot of testing, I’ve found that the difference can be explained in software.
But, that still doesn’t explain exactly why Apple has chose to [...]

Okay, yes, I know it sounds crazy, but FedEx wound up losing one of my iPhones for a month, which I had sent in for warranty repair.
After numerous calls, and complaints, I was about to give up and create an anti-FedEx web site. Apple pointed the finger at FedEx, FedEx said Apple wasn’t giving them [...]

Come June, iPhone users will be able to use exchange. Great. With a Mail2Web free account, you’ll be able to sync your world of devices on Exchange. Your calendar, address book, and device info can all freely flow to your Windows Mobile phone, all your PCs, your iPhone, even your iPod touch.
But what about Mac?
