- iLounge on the new Shuffles
Filed under: Hardware, iPod Family
I haven't even seen one of the new iPod Shuffles in the wild, but our friends at iLounge already have all 5 types. They posted a nice photo gallery giving you all the details about what comes in the box (mostly unchanged) as well as listing 5 key facts about the new shuffles.
The biggest news, other than the colors, is that the shuffles now come with the improved Apple earbuds.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software
It would seem that we are all awash in a sea of information. You try to organize it all with Post-Its and little slips of paper, but you can't tag those things (and it wouldn't be very Web 2.0 of you NOT to tag your information). Enter Notae 2.0, the very nice upgrade to this organizational Swiss Army knife.
Notae 2.0 brings with it a raft of new features, including:
- A tag browser
- Quick note creation
- Widescreen mode
- Fullscreen mode (very hip nowadays)

Filed under: Tips and tricks, Odds and ends, Internet Tools
David Phillip Oster, the author of the Google Notifier menubar application, has penned (keyboarded?) a nice little entry on the Official Google Mac Blog in which he describes some of his thinking behind his design decisions. But best of all is his little Easter Egg. It is possible to increase the number of messages displayed in the menubar drop down pane to 20 from the default of 4, reducing the need to mouse through to the "View More" sub-menu. I followed his instructions easily enough, as it merely requires you to invoke a hidden Defaults Editor by selecting the program's Preferences while holding down the Command and Option keys and to type in some changed values.
Check out the original post for full instructions.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Education, Odds and ends
Macinstruct is a new (and as of yet incomplete) website that will apparently be offering a variety of Mac educational resources. What they do already have up, however, is a contest they are calling "Tutorama." To enter you must create some sort of Mac related tutorial. They say that they are "searching for the most innovative and creative tutorials ever created. Go ahead: Try and out-teach the teachers. Write step-by-step tutorials and film video podcasts. Create Flash movies and computer-based trainings." The contest is being judged by some big name Mac folk like Dan Frakes, Robin Williams, and others. The prize package is not inconsiderable, with the overall winner taking home a Mac mini and a variety of software.
So if you have any great ideas for a Mac related tutorial, check out the official rules and get to work.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software, Productivity, Internet Tools
Charlie Wood from Spanning Sync, the 'missing link' software we mentioned back in November that can keep iCal and Google Calendar n'sync, just let us know that a public beta (version 1.0b11) is now available (zip download link). Getting started with iCal + gCal syncing bliss is simple:
- Download the aforementioned zip file
- Install Spanning Sync, which runs as a System Preference pane
- Enter your Google Account credentials, or go get one (they're free, and if you already have something like a Gmail address, you're good to go)
- Select which calendars from iCal you want to sync with Google Calendar (and if you haven't signed into Google Calendar at least once, do so now)
- Press "Sync Now"
- Sit back and marvel at the wonders of desktop + Google Calendar syncing
As of this writing, a price is yet to be announced, though there will be two plans. The first is an annual subscription rate, while the second is a one-time, lifetime purchase for those who want to get past all the riff-raff. Stay tuned for more details.
[Update: Woops - looks like servers fall down, go boom. Spanning Sync has temporarily closed the public beta to new users due to the veritable river of interest overrunning their servers. If you recall your 'Internets 101' lessons, water and server hardware don't mix well. However, users who got set up before they closed the beta are still in - the doors are simply closed to new users until Spanning Sync can add some equipment to handle the load. Their blog post announcing the bad news also states that they hope to re-open the public beta by Wednesday, so we'll keep our eye on things and let you know when new users can begin signing up again.]Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
