via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on May 09, 2008
Apple may open up its iPhone and iPod touch devices to third-party apps next month, but the chances that Linux users will get invited to the party are slim at best. That hasn't stopped some intrepid hackers from coming up with a better music-syncing solution than the one Mac and Windows users have—a two-way wireless transfer, from almost any music organizing app you like, no wait for iTunes...

via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on May 09, 2008

The How-To Geek finds the fix, both inside Microsoft's Swiss-Army-Fixer, TweakUI, and in two registry values you can find inside the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop key. Change DragHeight...

There's a feed for that?!
via Official Google Reader Blog by Mihai Parparita on January 14, 2008
As an engineer on Google Reader, it's always great to hear from users, especially when it's about how Reader has helped out. I was very happy when the team received this email from Gary Patino:I was having a hard time finding the right job here in Houston. Days would go by without talking to a single recruiter.

We understand, these things happen. But what about all those killer Linux apps you've left behind when you decided to live the Windows life? Sure you could dual-boot or run Linux in the...

BBC Content Coming to iTunes and AppleTV
via Mashable! by Kristen Nicole on February 18, 2008
The BBC has rolled out a handful of initiatives in the past year to gain profits from online distribution. After the dismal and rather limited release of the BBC iPlayer, which features recent episodes for free, the BBC kicked things up a notch, especially through its commercial arm. A branded channel on both YouTube and MySpace are both part of this push, but even updates to the launching of...
