Here’s a neat and free trick. Logictech have created an app for iPhone that allows you to control your pointer all over the screen, just like a trackpad.
It allows basic multi-gester too, such as scroll – no three finger flipping.
Download the Logictech server software and also the iphone app to get your tippytapping on.
Fix PDF in Safari
February 1st, 2010 | Category: Advice, Apple, Fail, Geek / Tech, Software, Stupidity, Work
If you’ve just installed Adobe CS3/4 you may be wondering why your Safari on OS X can’t display PDFs anymore.
It’s because Adobe mucked up the plugin which tells Safari to choose an application to view the PDF files.
To fix the problem go to:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
and delete the file:
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Restart Safari and you will be looking at PDFs in a snap.

Apple + Microsoft vs Google
January 21st, 2010 | Category: Apple, Awesome, Funny, Geek / Tech, Makin' Money, Microsoft, Software, Stupidity
The days are numbered for all the Mac vs PC debates. Apple and Microsoft may be once again harmoniously holding hands as they skip down digital lane to beat the crap out of the neighbourhood bully that is Google.
Now that Google has their own phone, own OS, own voice channel (US only, so far), own search and own applications – this is an all out strike against Apple who have had similar products, even before the search giant had.
It appears that Apple maybe ditching Google’s search string in favour of Microsoft’s “Bing!”. Many Mac users are like, wtf mate. And it’s rumored that Apple are even creating their own search engine. High hopes.
Anyways, competition is always grand.
Free PlayStation 3 media server

If you own a PS3 and have trouble finding a decent media server, check out ps3MediaServer http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/
Apparently it’s supposed to be easy to setup and get running. I’m not entirely sure how it works, but look forward to having a tinker once i get my PS3. One day…
It transcodes MKV and other foreign files to the PS3 in realtime, over wifi or ethernet. You’ve got full control over the video and audio settings too which looks nice.
