Apple has posted a Quicktime stream of yesterdays “Showtime” media event on their website. Apple says, “watch Apple CEO Steve Jobs deliver a special announcement from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. See the video-on-demand event right here exclusively in QuickTime and MPEG-4.”

TUAW has a story about a reader who was using a hack to make his Mac hibernate (safe sleep), which is a new feature in the new PowerBooks. Matthew’s PowerBook had a 867MHZ processor, and I have heard that 1GHZ is required for this hack. Matthew’s PowerBook ends up crashing, and I guess Matthew has [...]

Sorry it has been pretty slow lately, been busy and there hasn’t been much news. So, I came across this option for my HP computer (I bought it before I switched). I thought it was great for Microsoft to have an option to actually be “Non-Microsoft”. You can turn this option on by going to [...]
