30 Sep 2009Filed under: Tips and tricks , Odds and ends , Internet Tools Last night when the Apple store went down, I got tired of hitting refresh in Safari every few minutes while waiting for it to come back up, and went searching for something that would do the job for free . Now, this is not for coders who will laugh hysterically at my incompetence, but for those of you that are either lazy or don’t program at all. I fit both categories. Back in 2005 someone going by the moniker of Biovizier posted the solution on Macosxhints.com . It’s a little html snippet that will refresh any web page as frequently as you’d like, and its easily customizable for any page at all.

24 Sep 2009Filed under: Hardware , Tips and tricks , Snow Leopard Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been going back and forth with readers who truly believe that Snow Leopard is reporting battery errors when they have a perfectly good battery. There’s even a substantially large thread in Apple’s Discussions forums about this topic. I’ve been notified of that thread many times, accused of not covering real issues, hiding the truth and just plain refusing to believe that it’s an issue with the Operating System. After trudging through all of that, I’ve determined that it’s a whole bunch of hoopla. I’m not saying that some of these people aren’t experiencing real issues with the software — just the sheer amount of complaints in the discussion forums would say there are problems — but the “Service Battery” complaint doesn’t appear to be related to software issues at all

23 Jul 2009Filed under: Software , How-tos , Productivity , Tips and tricks , Apple I consider myself a power Keynote user, and overwhelmingly prefer the app over PowerPoint (on both the Mac and PC) — even though though I’m just as well-versed at PowerPoint. Only on rare occasions do I start my presentation workflow in PowerPoint (if the deck is going to be chart-centric, to avoid the limited axis and error bar support in pre-09 versions of Keynote). While both Keynote and Powerpoint get you from Point A to Point B, it’s the “little things,” such as alignment guides and better graphics support (i.e., native support for Photoshop PSDs and Illustrator AIs), that make the presentation journey that much more enjoyable and more presentable.

6 Jul 2009Filed under: iPhone I’m by no means a frequent flyer, but I’m preparing for a trip to Vegas to get hitched in just about week. I’m loading up my iPhone with applications to make my vacation a little easier, like Flight Tracker and TripIt . Even with all these apps, I was left wondering if my iPhone would really be the perfect air-travel companion (other than my wonderful fiancée, of course). Fortunately, Ars Technica was there to put some of my fears to bed, putting the Pre up for battle against the iPhone as the ultimate travel companion. Thankfully for me, the iPhone ends up as the clear winner.
