kevin_4e Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The movie library application Drive-in, from the creators of Flip4Mac, is available for a free test-drive until January 7 (bad speakers and backseat make-out sessions not included)... For those wanting to keep their apps from "phoning home," check out Little Snitch, which is able to prevent the E.T.-like phone behavior and give you information on the guilty apps... A productivity tip from TUAW is one more reason to use a Mac. While holding ctrl-cmd-D over any text in Cocoa applications (no Firefox) a live definition will appear instantly. Go ahead, test it out on our superfluous and sesquipedalian words here... Last week we all saw the Japanese "Get a Mac" ads, and now there’s a set of translations to go along with it, along with some other interesting stuff... If you were in a class with no clue with what to do with 50 G3 iMacs, what would you do? Take a “look” for yourself... Now with two choices, check out rollcage’s and vizual.menace’s InsanelyMac toolbar. Thanks, guys!... If you haven’t experienced the possibilities of eBay, then check out what DiaboliK has been able to pick up at a reasonable price... Equipped with a PowerBook and a motion-sensor, this nerd with too much free time intrepid young science student was able to bring life to the first digital marionette...

erbic Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 No f***ing way... that fifty iMacs thing happened in MY HIGH SCHOOL! I used most of those iMacs during CompKey back in eighth grade. And yeah, they sucked. Slow as {censored}. Apparently this whole thing was confined to the Build/Repair Computers class, since I heard NOTHING of this until today. I know/can name most of the kids in those pictures. That's just messed up... Nothing Internet-worthy ever happens here in lowly old Duxbury, MA.

RockoTDF Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 What did they actually end up doing with those machines? I'd have put linux on them and started a huge folding at home cluster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
