CableCard on a Mac

A short sto­ry on Mac­world regard­ing the lack of Cable­Card sup­port on Apple com­put­ers or periph­er­als. This is a sto­ry where the com­ments seem to add as much as the sto­ry does. I agree total­ly with the TiVo users com­ment­ing about their love of the Cable­Card. As a mat­ter of fact, TiVo HD users seem… Con­tin­ue read­ing Cable­Card on a Mac

Live Blogging the BSG Final Season Premiere

The begin­ning of the end of Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca. Angela and I are watch­ing: Well, Earth sure a drag. Hey! Hera uses the same plas­tic spoons as Ains­ley.

Oh, to have blogged in so long and only to come back with a measly list of fluff. Well, some­thing’s bet­ter than noth­ing, right?

The iPhone SDK Announcements

Nat­u­ral­ly, the inter­net is glow­ing white hot with peo­ple talk­ing about Apple’s iPhone SDK (soft­ware devel­op­er kit) meet­ing ear­li­er today. Any­thing Apple relat­ed gets a lot of buzz, and iPhone news pegs the hype-o-meter. How­ev­er, lest I sound bit­ter, I think today’s announce­ments deserve the atten­tion. I want­ed to point out some of what made… Con­tin­ue read­ing The iPhone SDK Announcements
