I don't think I am the only one who is missing the point of this acquisition. Reportedly, eBay is in talks with Skype founders to purchase Skype for $2,000,000,000! The goal is to let eBay users communicate verbally with each other, rather than through email.
At 10am PST this morning Steve Jobs began a presentation for a number of new Apple products. To start, there was a new and more refined version of iTunes, now 5.0. It offers the ability to group playlists in folders and offers greater control of iTunes random play feature.
Jobs stated that Apple was responding to customer feedback. As many of us have noted, iTunes has a problem coming up with a truly random mix of music. A new slider has...
Tomshardware.com has released some detailed information about Microsoft's upcoming file system format known as WinFS. And, though it is on a development cycle separate from Windows Vista and Longhorn Server, it seems clear that Microsoft expects WinFS to be the future for Windows.
As I read the details about the new file system, it occurred to me that this could actually become the single largest security concern on the internet...
One of the coolest uses of Bluetooth so far, is undoubtedly the use of wireless headsets. I have two that I use with my cell phone, and I use the all the time. It has gotten so that I can't stand using the phone without the wireless headset. The freedom and mobility are second to none.
And since I have two Bluetooth headsets, I always intended to use one with my PowerBook. A wireless headset would finally make the voice capabilities of iChat something useful to me. Unfortunately that was easier said that done. My PowerBook is a 1.25GHz Aluminum model and it has built-in Bluetooth support. But every time I tried to pair my headset...

Here's a great blog post about a guy who just had Verizon's fiber-optic internet service installed in his house. Just like any of us, you can bet he was sitting outside watching like a kid waiting for his birthday present. Can you blame him?
Project Motorsport started out as a fun way to spend an afternoon. We set out to shoot some motorcycle video and have a good time. Once when we brought the video back and began to edit, we realized we had the making of a music video.
Check out the video and see for yourself. And, if your interested in further information on the project, we give you that too!
The Freedom to Switch:
In 2003 Apple Computer released a marketing campaign with the intention of showing Wintel users how easy it would be to "switch" platforms.
One of the Mac's main selling points, ironically enough, was Digital Video Editing. Apple wanted the world to see how easy it was to edit video on the Mac platform. And, in overwhelming response, Mac users set out to show the world just how easy it really was.
The campaign was effective for Apple, but also spawned a unexpected parody campaign in the Mac underworld. Users from all of the world whipped out their camcorders and set to work making spoofs in the same cinematic style as the acclaimed commercial line.
With this, Maclive.net rose to the challenge and shot our own spoof. We think it proves that a Mac can be a powerful tool in the wrong hands. It also shows how far a couple of Mac fans will go for a laugh. We hope you enjoy our contribution, aptly named The Freedom to Switch.
