Stardock Releases Multiplicity : “Multiplicity works by having a primary computer with a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to it and multiple local secondary computers that still have a monitor connected to them but no keyboard or mouse. When the user moves their mouse cursor from the primary computer to one of the monitors connected to a secondary computer, the user is then controlling that secondary computer. Multiplicity then ties them all together with a single universal clipboard enabling the user to seamlessly work with multiple computers at the same time.”
Si ça marche vraiment, ça vaut le coup. (Enfin, non. 30$ pour deux ordinateurs seulement, c'est un peu dur.)

At last, I understand the dangers of Google AutoLink! [via] : “"The issue for authors and publishers is whether readers know they're reading text that's been modified." And it's so ambiguous! Admittedly, in order for the web page to be altered by the Google toolbar, an "AutoLink" button needs to be pressed every time (it doesn't do it automatically), and the first time you press it this pop-up window appears which explains everything. Personally, I don't think that's nearly enough! A large claxon should sound, the screen should flash, and the user should get a phone call from a Google employee explaining the incredibly ambiguous and possibly-accidental button press. After all, the user might not realise that they had altered the content of the page if they were incredibly forgetful or stupid.”

The Tao of Mac : “Witch is an enhanced Command-Tab/task switcher for Mac OS X that, among other things, lets you manage minimized windows via the keyboard.”

Class action suit filed against Apple.

Pff, I don’t know anymore. I still want OS X, but it’s bugging me more and more with its anti-power-users stance — I know, there’s BSD underneath, there’s AppleScript, there are the indispensables like Quicksilver, but Apple software annoys me with its “you’ll do things the way we designed, and no other” philosophy. And there’s the hardware, superb but not particularly renowned for its reliability. On a PC, I can choose to buy the hardware I want wherever I want, and there are zillions of freeware programs for geeks like me.

Maybe I don’t really want to be a switcher anymore. Maybe I should just buy an iMac mini and a 17“LCD. Or maybe the opposite.

La blogosphère américaine découvre que le podcasting (comme les radio.blog, mais à destination des iPod) pose des problèmes légaux. Geez.

Unprotecting iTunes vs. Unprotecting Napster : “So what’s the big deal? Unprotecting music without first burning to CD is bad, but if you burn to CD first, it’s ok? I don’t get it.”

Stars Take a Shine to Apple : “Apple has four retail stores in the Los Angeles area, which give the sales associates ample opportunity to rub elbows with Hollywood celebrities. It isn’t always pleasant.”

France 3 et “les blogues” : “Après le reportage du journal de France2 hier, c’est France3 qui s’y colle. Les blogues (orthographe retenue) servent ici principalement aux adolescents et aux cuisinières. Regardez le reportage par vous-même (format QuickTime, .mov).”

France 2 et ces fameux blogs : “Le Journal Télévisé de France2 vient de diffuser un reportage assez étrange sur “ces fameux blogs": cela commence comme une publicité pour étudiants en marketing [...] et se termine en “les blogs sont un danger pour les entreprises". [...] je propose quand même le reportage sur les blogs au format .mov (QuickTime).”

Nobody Expects The Bloglines Askquisition! “Speaking from experience, I know that the acquisition of a service that you use and depend upon can be unnerving. I also know that after acquisition some services wither.I am confident that won't happen here. There is a shared passion and vision for Bloglines, and I'm very excited about the future.”

100 Most Popular Gravatar Enabled Sites : “13. garoo.net (188) by garoo”

Only 188 avatars displayed in 7 days? There mustn’t be many people accessing the individual post pages.

Pick a good password : “If you don’t want to use one password for every place that requires one, a variation on Eric’s method is to combine the service name with a word you choose. So if blue’s your word, your Ebay password would be ebblauye and your Paypal password would be pbalyupeal.”

PanicGoods: drag-and-drop shopping cart (via padawan.info)

Hide The Truth, Here Comes Leander Kahney : “The big question here, of course, is whether iPod usage at Microsoft is unusually high. That is, after all, the point of the article. Or is Kahney just stretching the truth yet again to write yet another pro-Apple story? That one's easy, because I visit the Redmond campus several times a year. Kahney's full of it. Utterly full of it.”
