A colleague mailed me the following how-to. I thought that it was too good to keep this for myself. This how-to is for the people that have iMac G5s. This problem is very common and can appear “out of the blue.” The fans will start producing a big noise and it only stops once you [...]

Apple released another security update and yesterday I got an email from CERT Advisories regarding this. Most of the time Apple does not release a lot of information about its security updates. CERT, on the other hand, gives you all the information you might want to know. So I thought I’d share.

iTunes is probably one of the best music managers available but it could stand for some improvement. One such advancement would the be the inclusion of half-stars. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wrestled with rating a song that just isn’t quite a four star but really isn’t as bad as [...]

You know, I have always used the word “pique” as in, “Hmmm, that has piqued my interest.” But two dictionaries I checked list that usage as a secondary / alternate meaning for “pique.” Okay, never mind.
