In fact, I can't even capture it with a screen capture. I often code while watching... err... listening to a DVD. Every once in a blue moon, I need to do a screen capture to examine pixel for pixel what I'm doing. And every time I ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/05/22/no-screen-captures/ This is not a giant run-on paragraph. I'll figure out why it appears that way later.There's no real problem with big sites. Some of the biggest are amongst the best. A bad example is Wikipedia, and a good example was Ars Technica.Latin is by far my least Favorite language, right ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/05/18/we-lost-ars-technica/ Really, where do you get it from? Take a look at Peter Mortensen. He's a possibly respected nearly journalist. He thinks that the guy who dropped his iPhone on an interstate where it was subsequently run over by a semi-truck should be hired by Apple. Uh, WTF? I'd like the Mythbusters to ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/02/07/whats-wrong-with-you-mac-pundits/ Engadget has reported that Microsoft has officially bid on Yahoo, and Microsoft confirms it as well. I'd really rather skip the anti-Google rhetoric and the anti-Microsoft rhetoric too. Oddly, I don't know of any reason to be against Yahoo, except that YIM crashes a lot. But we are looking at something that ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/02/01/yahoo-microsoft-google/ I've been planning to rent and watch a DVD tomorrow. My usual way of doing this is heading down the street to Hollywood Video, paying $4.50 or so, coming home to watch the movie, then returning it at some point in the next five days. I figured now would be ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/01/25/i-couldnt-bring-myself-to-rent-from-itunes/ I think each of us saw MacBook Air and began to come up with things we'd change about it. My list was long. Replaceable battery of course, replaceable RAM, larger hard drive, lower price, smaller bezel, more USB ports, and on and on. But what did I end up with? ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/01/23/there-is-absolutely-nothing-wrong-with-macbook-air/ As I expected, Apple replaced my iMac with a new model. I'll have a review up later but let me just say this much now — the glass is a mirror. It is horrible and at the same time beautiful. When not enjoying gorgeous reflections of myself, I experience deep ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/01/17/about-my-switch-to-vista/ I've pretty much had it with Apple. I love Mac OS and all, and in general I find Apple's hardware designs are elegant. That's not enough to keep me as a customer any longer. The machines are over priced and AppleCare is, well, bullshit. My iMac which has worked flawlessly for ... http://hackthismac.com/2008/01/10/applecare-is-ridiculous/ Think Secret is finally gone. I can't say that I'm surprised or that I'll miss it. There seem to be quite a few people out there arguing whether or not the publisher, Nick Ciarelli, was a journalist. I don't think that's the point really. For argument's sake we'll just say he ... http://hackthismac.com/2007/12/26/thoughts-on-think-secret/ It looks like it's pretty easy to get an article on Gizmodo — just pay them! Since I don't have any money, I propose Gizmodo ask AMD for some money to publish my submission. I'm only asking for 25% of whatever they can get from AMD. Title: Whatever you do, ... http://hackthismac.com/2007/12/14/my-article-submission-for-gizmodo/
