Browser Wars: Replay of the Megahertz Myth?
There was an interesting article over at TG Daily recently, titled, “Browser wars: When will the madness end?” As you can likely guess from the title, the author assumes that the cage match currently underway between Safari, Google’s Chrome, Firefox, and IE is a bad thing. But aren’t we taught that competition is a good thing? In this case, competition is good—vital, even, if the Internet is to keep growing.

Safari 4 is watching you, and never forgets
February saw the public release of Safari 4 Beta—the latest update to Apple’s own browser. There were a couple of complications for some people, but for the majority, Safari 4 looked a nice improvement. Little would we release that it would keep track of each and every site we visited,… Continue Reading »

Macs, Google Earth and BBEdit; working to save the planet one pandemic at a time
Ah, how the media loves its buzzwords, and one of the latest that has been bandied about is “pandemic.” We’re not above that here at Appletell, especially when Macs are involved. So, when we were told that Macs are being used to help predict the spread of swine flu, we… Continue Reading »
Appletell reviews FarFinder remote file access for Mac and iPhone
Have you ever needed a file when you are away from your Mac? And to make matters even more irritating than not having the file, you know exactly where it is on the machine at home. This normally only happens to really important files, and there’s nothing you can do… Continue Reading »
Apple eliminating HomePage app for .Mac users
Apple has sent out an e-mail to .Mac (MobileMe) subscribers announcing that as of July 7th, 2009, the .Mac HomePage application will be removed from the service. Upon hearing this news, my first questions was, “What’s HomePage?” My second questions was, “What’re they going to kill next? Pippin? CyberDoc?” Continue Reading »
How Twitter changed my opinion about consistent UI design
One of the many reasons I’m not a Windows fan is the fact that applications can all look very different and behave in very different ways. On the Mac, most applications behave in much the same way when it comes to standard functions. Apps that don’t follow these rules are… Continue Reading »
Save as Web Application still a planned feature for Safari 4 (Mac)
Though the Safari 4 beta added a lot, at least in looks, when compared to earlier developer betas, one notable thing it lost was the “Save as Web Application…” command in the File menu. Using this command, Safari would make an application in your Applications folder that basically ran just… Continue Reading »
How to post a photo to Twitter
Since Twitter sprang from the idea of sending text updates from a cell phone, why not also post pictures? While there are several ways (and services) to do this, the two easiest I’ve found are TwitPic and Skitch, both currently free, and can be used from a browser or cell… Continue Reading »
Could Apple pull off one app for all Internet-based tasks?
Apple currently ships a ton of full-fledged programs with Mac OS X. Safari, Mail, iChat, Address Book, and iCal are all great examples. As the operating system paradigm shifts, though, I think Apple could be the one to pull these apps all together into one really useful application that many… Continue Reading »
Appletell reviews Spaz
I’m not exactly sure why Spaz (operating off the Adobe AIR platform) has become my favorite desktop Twitter client. In terms of how it works, it’s nothing radical, resembling Twitterrific and several other programs. It shows your Twitter feed, has tabs to see your Direct Messages and @replies, both a… Continue Reading »
