Infinite Loop reviews Ecamm’s driverless Mac webcam. In short: image quality is rather crappy and the ‘driverless’ claim is all but false advertising: it requires a plug-in, not a driver, see? No driver!

Damn Apple not upgrading the iSight to comply with European regulations. I don’t know what to do: buy a cheap USB webcam? buy an expensive Firewire webcam? shop for the cheapest camcorder around? forget it and save my money?

I’m hesitating to drop 280 euros on a memory upgrade. Going from 1GB to 2GB ought to make my iMac lag much less when I switch to NetNewsWire or Yojimbo, right? I mean, spectacularly faster? Woulds there 280 € worth of performance increase? That’s no less than a quarter of the price of a MacBook, which would be four times as fast as my iMac despite a dire amount of RAM.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
