Tales From The Command Line: Where Has My Bandwidth Gone? (iftop & SurplusMeter)

July 4, 2008

I believe I can safely say that the primary objective for users running OS X is to connect to the World Wide Web to read mail, check out web sites, chat with friends, download new apps or grab/share multi-media substance, etc. With bandwidth caps staring to become all the rage by the mega-providers, knowing how much you are consuming may be critica…

Google Talk Comes to the iPhone

July 4, 2008

One of the notable shortcomings of the iPhone is the lack of a chat client. Oh sure, SMS looks like iChat - but we all know that you’re really paying for each of those messages you’re shooting off. So we could wait for Apple to open up a true chat client…or just let Google do it for us.

Review: Replug

June 29, 2008

I recently got my hands on an interesting device, the Replug. The design of the Replug is meant to work much like a MagSafe connector does - give it a pull, and it pops out safely.
