WOW. That\’s what I call a user interface, baby :) Watch the video

A friend of mine shared this statistics with me. I am sure it is, most probably, an old joke that half of the world knows. Also, I do not know where it is from originally, so I might violate some intellectual property rights here, BUT it\’s toooo damned good not to share, so here it...

One of the major reasons I got iMac Core Duo was the Split Personality I was starting to develop having to chose between my most favorite “toys”: PowerBook G4 and IntelliJ IDEA. While Mac is the only worthwhile computer, to me, and I really enjoy the mobility of a PowerBook, I have recently gotten addicted...

Here is a second page created entirely in iWeb: \ http://web.mac.com/inadarei/iWeb/Site/Playing%20More.html I did not use ANYTHING except iWeb. Just three average photos. All photo processing (color, reflection, border, size, shape, orientation etc) was done in iWeb. Also, pay attention that the collage is actually three images and iWeb did not merge them into one but...

Despite what Apple Developer Network says, my Intel iMac Curo Duo does have JDK5! Such a relief!!! It came with JDK 1.4 default installation and I tried finding JDK 5 download, in vain. Just to check Apple Developer Connection site and find this scary message: “Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 4 is...

iWeb did look cool at Steve\’s keynote, but I could never expect what it turned out to be - a true Site Authoring. Forget about worrying how to properly layout. Just drag and drop (much like in Keynote, or something like in Powerpoint, just much better) and iWeb will figure how to transform all that...

In his latest Blog/Podcast Tim Shadel shares his team\’s negative experience with JSF. I must admit, I NEVER liked Java ServerFaces. And not only for the reasons mentioned by Tim. Many complaints from Tim may be relevant to Tapestry as well. Yet, I like Tapestry. I think it is a niche framework but I have...

My first post from the new Intel CoreDuo iMac 20”.One word - AWESOME!

Renewable, bio fuel is not a new idea. It has been in development for long. What is new - is seeing it in mass production. GM has announced the new line of E85-based cars. Important thing is that, it seems, this type of fuel has some muscle. Pay attention that GM cars are large SUVs, not like the...

I do not know what is the problem of Jakarta Feedparser. They have not had a binary download for a very long time and SVN URI on the site is wrong. Neverthless, it is an awesome tool. I just wish I did not have a headache of finding its proper SVN address each and every time I...

How do you tell a marketing person from an engineer? This is very nice and IMHO the professor was an asshole for giving no credit :) After all, it\’s his fault that he could not formulate question without ambiguity.

I have long been bitching about how slow TVs are adopting Internet. Just scarce teasers really does not fly. And, voila, here is a Net-based TV station: Mobuzz . Honestly, it\’s more like a video podcast, right now, but I like the fact, per se. I really want, ideally, all TVs to move to broadcasting on...

Pierre Wielezynski coined the term Personomies and explains what it means. I am a strong believer in Social Web and the personomies are, probably, were it all starts. There are, already, many useful services ( Bloglines and del.icio.us come to mind, immidiately) that touch different sides of a personomy. Yet, we are still to see what a full-fledged...

See something familiar? http://www.live.com/ and http://local.live.com/ If they wanted to copy Google, they should have used Google APIs. At least, it would be more compatible. LOLz, Microsoft never changes, does it?

If you are as picky with keyboards as I am, then there is something you may like and the name of it is Logitech diNovo Media Keyboard. Now, it\’s not just the awesomely cool numeric pad (with termomether, clock and Smart Calculator mode) or the innovative design or the insanely cool look. You see, I...
