I thought the last batch of OS X updates was the cause of my recent WiFi problems. However, it is now looking like the recent Parallels Desktop for Mac might be the culprit.
Slim pickens last week: Weekly free Amazon MP3 downloads and Zoho Writer supports Google Gears on Windows Mobile phones (no iPhone support yet).
Since Apple announced the iPhone and iPod Touch, hordes of developers have focused their efforts on bringing freedom to the masses. Whether you call the process "pwnage," "jailbreak" or something else altogether, the core ideas are always the same: allow people to do anything they wish with the device they purchased and own. Do I support the idea? Entirely. I...
ActiveState open sourced its Komodo Edit programmer's text editor on March 6. Since it is available for OS X, Windows, and Linux, it is especially valuable to those of us who hop OSes depending on where we are working at the time.

As the baby boomers get older, an industry for using technology to monitor seniors at home is emerging. You can buy a packaged solution, or roll your own, but either way you might just find some peace of mind.
It seems the announcement of AOL working on an iPhone version of AIM before Apple releases iChat Touch – so to speak – has a few commentators stumped.
