After a System Update your 802.11n Airport card suddenly can’t join the WiFi network and spits out a “Network timeout”? You can probably solve the problem by substituting two kernel extensions. >> Leggi il resto ““Network Timeout”? Substitute your Mac’s Airport kexts”
Interactive web experiments for Google Chrome created by JavaScript designers and programmers from around the world, using the latest open standards, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and more.
The braeburncapital.com url redirects to Apple’s main website. Why? Who is this Braeburn Capital and what relationship does it have with Apple?
I finally managed to download and try a bit a copy of Classilla on a Powerbook G3.
Not only it’s a free, open source browser aimed at making (again) the world wide web a bit more usable for Mac OS 9 (and Mac OS 8.6) Macs but it’s also a project with a strong sense of humor as you can see from this screenshot.
In the future I plan to keep using it and will try to report. In the meanwhile, what can I say other than.. welcome on my hard disk, Classilla! :)
Here are new examples of the prominent use of hands in Apple’s promotional iconography, straight from the recent ipod lineup.
Note to myself: when upgrading your WordPress installation remember to add back this function, and when you change the theme change the code instances, too. >> Leggi il resto “How to link the title of a WordPress posts to an external url”
On September 1984 Apple released the follow-up to the Macintosh, addressing one of the major complaints of potential buyers: the lack of Ram memory.
Note to myself: when upgrading your WordPress installation remember to add back this function at the end of /wp-includes/functions.php
function remove_wpautop_content_filter() {
remove_filter('the_content','wpautop');
}
Otherwise the handy line
add_action('loop_start','remove_wpautop_content_filter');
in your theme PHP files and which removes WordPress’ automatic inserting of <P> (paragraphs) not only won’t work but it will also ruin your nice layout and spit a ton of errors.
And we don’t want that, right?
An url shortener allows you to create shorter URL’s and (sometimes) keeps track of how many times a link has been clicked. On the other hand, relying on third party services may have quite a few side effects.
According to Jeffrey Zeldman the solution is rolling your own mini-URLs [which]
“lessens the chance that your carefully cultivated links will rot if the third-party URL shortening site goes down or goes out of business”
If you are running for WordPress there are two solutions available, both in the form of installable plug-ins.
The social aspect of Delicious has (finally) got a little boost: now you can share bookmarks not only with other users who are in your network but also as a message on Twitter and through e-mail.
Flash support is finally here: it is available in recent Chromium builds and Google beta releases and actually has been around for a while, although hidden.
Mac users now have a functional preview of Chrome which can add, delete and modify stored urls, including bookmarklets.
In the Rule Torrent of Wired’s “How to Behave/ New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans” I noticed this line:
Tag Flickr photos freely—there’s no such thing as too many tags
On the same note here’s Joshua Shachter in 2006 speaking of tags on Delicious:
[…] letting people use their own tags–instead of choosing them from a menu he provided–would make del.icio.us more likely to be genuinely useful. Each person who uses del.icio.us is effectively coming up with an idiosyncratic system for classifying the Web: an article about, say, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban might be tagged “Mavericks” by one person, “crazy” by another, and “Mavericks” and “crazy” by a third. (Del.icio.us allows users to pin as many tags on a page as they want.)
By modifying the file in which the browser saves its bookmarks you can get a Delicious-enabled Chrome (or Chromium). Here's how to do it.
Did you know that… in the summer of 1994 folk singer Bob Dylan sued Apple for trademark infringement?

A closer look at Apple's change from the Motorola 68×000 Macs to the PowerPCs: a transition which mixed the two lines for a while and proceeded slowly, ending with the release of Mac OS 8.5 in 1998.
In 2007 the number of active users of Apple’s operating system was at 25 millions in 2009 it had suddenly risen to 75 million. How could this be?
At the end of May 2004 Apple’s organization underwent a major shakeup. Three years after the introduction of its digital player, the Cupertino company created a new iPod division.
On the 19th of May 2004 Avie Tevanian, then Apple Chief Software Technology Officer told a technology conference that Apple would slow the pace of its operating system releases.
