I noticed my default applications were getting reset in Mac OS X Leopard every time I reboot. It turns out that FileVault has a bug in it which causes all default applications to be reset. I found the answer at the Related Link below.
I’ve had a situation where large files are in my Mac’s Trash folder, but I cannot delete it because I do not have sufficient permissions. I tried to create a new folder on my desktop and move the files there but I couldn’t do that either. I searched and finally found this snippet from Apple’s…
I’ve been using FileZilla lately after FTP Voyager started to give me problems. FileZilla is okay, but it does not support WebDAV. I need WebDAV so I could access my Mac iDisk from my Windows PC but unfortunately not many FTP clients support the WebDAV protocol. I finally found BitKinex which supports WebDAV quite nicely….
I’ve been messing around with Tumblr tonight. I can’t believe how interesting it is. It’s like Twitter for Blogs. You follow other blogs in the same way you follow people on Twitter. You can also post to your blog in a variety of ways. You can go to the Tumblr web site of course. You…

I’ve been a frustrated fan of the Palm Treo since its inception. I’ve had every model of the Palm Treo at one time or another, in addition to various other Pocket PC phones, iPhone, BlackBerry, etc. I keep going back to the Treo because despite its faults, I like the power it has to do…
I’ve been having a problem with Google Docs recently. Their import engine is as strong as it could be. I’ve been sending a Word document back and forth with a friend; each of us making changes. When the last version arrived in my Gmail account I tried to view it as a Google document. The…
Are you a Google fanatic? Do you like their products (Gmail, Picasa, Google Docs, etc.)? Google is developing new products so fast it’s hard to keep up. I have one suggestion for them though. Hire some designers from Apple. Google doesn’t pay enough attention to the user experience. They seem to feel that as long…
The U.S. House today passed a bill that would tax AIG employees who received bonuses of over $250k. The tax rate is 90%. Are you kidding me? This is your government run-a-muck. The US Congress should not be in the business of passing bills directed at single companies, or short-term micro issues. The bonuses at…
I’ve been playing with Gmail’s “YouTube previews in mail” labs feature. When someone sends me a YouTube link I can now watch the video in Gmail without having to launch a new browser window.
