AOL Radio + Salling Clicker Script
2007-05-11 23:02:00
I'm a fan of AOL Radio especially "AOL sessions".So here is a "goodie" from M&D.All you need is an AOL account (or AIM it's the same)AOL Radio direct download from M&D: here. (it will ask you for your AIM/AOL screename and password when you first start it)And the Salling Clicker free script: here.ENJOY!!!!PS: there's a cool integration of AOL Radio to iChat, when you start listening to AOL Radio while your status is set to "online" the status changes to the current playing AOL Radio Song!There's also a cool transparent alert that appears each time the song changes on AOL Radio. ...

Salling Clicker Update!!! Version 3.5 is out!
2007-05-11 22:39:00
I use this application everyday since a year maybe.But no updates, I thought version 3.1 was the last one. But today, great news! I saw that version 3.5 was out!So I opened the official Salling Clicker site and I was amazed by the new look of the site. A great flash menu was added which makes the website easier to browse than ever.The update is free for 3.1 owners, it's a 6.6 mb file.Salling Clicker is available for Mac & PC, and it is compatible with more than 300 mobile phones, it transforms your mobile phone to a remote contol, we already talked about it here on M&D.First thing I have noticed: no need to update the Salling Clicker version installed on your phone (still didn't try it with my Symbian Nokia), the soft seems to be faster. A powerpoint script has been added, and there's a better Keynote script too. ...

Adobe Digital Edition: Smooooth
2007-05-11 03:45:00
Today, when I opened the super heavy Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe invited me to install a small "application" made in Adobe Flash called Adobe Digital Editions, it reminds me a lot of Adobe Lightroom but for .PDF documents.It is fast and so smooth: It needs maybe 1 or 2 seconds to start. Impressive!Animations are superb, especially when you change view. Searching for something in a pdf is super fast. As soon as you start it, it opens the document you were reading like a "resume" function.You can get it from Adobe Labs website, it's a 2,5 MB file to download, the installer is very special because it's a Flash Window you see in your browser.Adobe is really reinventing Flash...Here is the link to Adobe Digital Editions: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/digitaleditions/install/?source=acrofileMaybe is it the Adobe Reader killer... It really makes reading a pdf document sooo comfortable!I fell in love with it!PS: it is still a beta, and the icon is ugly (not 128x128). Adobe is releasing ama ...

Apple Internet Video Made Easy!
2007-05-10 06:04:00
Now that I am done editing my video masterpiece, it may be time to output the video to a format necessary for the Internet. Uploading a video to YouTube is pretty easy. Making it look good is a bit of a challenge. Most online videos are plagued with artifacts, pixelations, and lag time. But I have a Mac, so I can make a fantastic looking video!read more | digg story ...

A Greener Apple
2007-05-05 03:49:00
Apple has been criticized by some environmental organizations for not being a leader in removing toxic chemicals from its new products, and for not aggressively or properly recycling its old products. Upon investigating Apple’s current practices and progress towards these goals, I was surprised to learn that in many cases Apple is ahead of, or will soon be ahead of, most of its competitors in these areas. Whatever other improvements we need to make, it is certainly clear that we have failed to communicate the things that we are doing well.Read More... ...
