Canon PowerShot TX1

Well I’m not one to go ga-ga over any new gadget, especially not a digital camera since I’m already very content with my current one (that slice of heaven called the Nikon D80), but I would like to applaud Canon for their latest contribution to the digicam world: the PowerShot TX1.

Whilst not pioneering any really [...]

Sketch Swap

Sketch Swap is a relatively new website which has but one simple purpose: tellingly, to allow people to swap sketches. There isn’t much in the way of features, comprising only one big blank canvas, a pen tool with a fixed size, and a submit button.

Camino Would Be Near Perfect If

I could disable its tab bar overflow ‘feature’, which as of the latest stable release is sub-par, anyways. The unreleased (in final form, at least) Firefox 2.0 already has such an option, albeit well-hidden, so I can’t see why its OSX-native cousin should be so sorely deprived.

Cut The www Out

One of my pet peeves is not being able to access a website by typing ‘http://website.com/’ in the address bar.
Check out Singnet’s website. Remove the ‘www.’, and it magically becomes inaccessible. This is not only inconvenient for users, it’s also inexcusable from an ISP such as Singnet - aren’t they supposed to be Internet experts? [...]

Web On A Hard Drive? Nah.

This new ‘Web on a hard drive’ software seems to be garnering its fair shair of hype. While I tend towards supporting such a large-scale, innovative application of web caching, I doubt this technology will prove itself as useful as what the article makes it out to be.
