Update: There is now a version of KeyFixer for Firefox. Check it out.

by Jim on 08. Nov, 2006 in Apple, Mac OS X
A few days after I got my MacBook, I started to notice how horrible the screen is. I have a grid of diagonal lines that are especially visible in the left corner and on light colored images. Now, I’m noticing distortions on just about anything that has a gradient on it. This [...]

I’m getting sick of DRM. I’m switching to Emusic. I mean, I love Apple’s stuff, but I want some freedom of choice in my life.

I was happy to see that the new Underoath album was released today in the iTunes Music Store. Unfortunately, when I downloaded the songs, there was horrible skipping in at least one track (haven’t listened to it all yet).

I had to reinstall my computer the other day, it’s needed it for a while (mostly because I’ve installed every stupid program I could get my hands on for the last 6 months). I haven’t wanted to reinstall because I had a “working” install of Rails and I remembered how hard it was to [...]

According to reports from around the web, the Flash Player does not run well inside Safari or Firefox on the new Intel Macs (using Rosetta).
