Share your Internet Access via Firewire

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:32:24 -0400

Share your Internet Access via Firewire:

Are you in need of a real speed bump from wireless? You can use Ethernet cable, but that is only one option. I’m actually a big fan of the underutilized IP over Firewire. If you have a Mac, you probably have Firewire ports, so let’s start taking advantage of it. It might not be as fast as Gigabit ethernet, but Firewire 800 is really freaking fast when compared to 802.11G or even 802.11N.

Alternate Web Browsers for the iPhone & iPod Touch

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:05:11 -0400

Alternate Web Browsers for the iPhone & iPod Touch:

Apple‘s mobile Safari is a great browser. It offers great standards compliance and speed, but it isn’t everything for everyone. It can’t print money or leap tall buildings in a single bound, so there will be people that want a different mobile browsing experience. Luckily, there are options out there for the iOS, so I decided to highlight some of the most popular right here.

What happened to Camino?

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:00:12 -0400

What happened to Camino?:

Does anyone remember Camino? I didn’t think so. There was a time when Mac-using Mozilla fans would use Camino (Originally called Chimera), but today’s climate is very different. WebKit-based browsers have taken a strong foothold, and there seems to be a thinning of the herd in terms of alternate browsers. “Team Gecko” seems to have moved much more of their focus on Firefox.
