As a Mac software consumer, the MacHeist price is obviously a huge attraction. Although the individual developers may not make a huge profit (or maybe any profit?), I think they will benefit from this in the long run. Why? Here's my take...

This month, we speak again with Francis Preve, a Top 10 remixer who also works as the principal sound designer for Ableton and a consulting sound designer for Korg. Hear how he creates the sounds behind the hits.

You have probably heard of AJAX, but have you heard of Comet? Yes, they are both household cleaners you might find under your kitchen sink, but that's only part of the story. In the web realm, Comet refers to an...

I've been shooting in low light at ISO 6400, partly on the grounds that my Nikon D300 is remarkably low noise, and partly on the grounds that noise can be used as part of the aeshetic of an image. My photos of the jellyfish in the aquarium tanks at Monterey are examples of this kind of high ISO work. However,...

This past weekend, I made a startling discovery. Apple included another log function, hidden in its GraphicsServices framework. It's called GSLog and as far as I can tell, acts almost exactly like NSLog except it works correctly and will redirect its output

Interesting: I asked a question on Phlip's last post about whether assert { 2.0 } was really necessary, given that it's mostly just assert_block from Test::Unit. I noticed this question disappeared from the post, because I guess it was offensive...

Firefox 2.0.0.12 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 22:57:04 I use Firefox because for a long time I believed it was a superior and safer browser than Internet Explorer 6. And, while it is mostly stable on my Linux and Mac boxes,...

O'Reilly is now distributing the "Take Control" series from TidBITS. If you check out the list you'll see a lot of tempting titles. It's an interesting way for O'Reilly to build out their Mac and iPhone list in addition to the books they publish themselves.
