"the quirky PowerCurl is a clip on cord wrap for Apple’s 60W and 85W MagSafe Power Adapter. PowerCurl wraps both cords (plug end & MagSafe end) around the device and allows for easy and quick cord wrapping. The Curl, as we like to call it, makes it easy to unplug and pack up quickly without having to untangle your extension cords the next time you need to set up shop. The included clip enables the plug end of your cord to clip to itself just like your MagSafe end does. Fear those heated power adapters no more - PowerCurl elevates the power adapter off the ground or desk for improved air circulation and cooling."

I used to get booked into the Sheraton @ Shepherd's Bush roundabout quite a bit. It was rather shabby. Just don't associate White City with upscale retail.

I bought the MLB iPhone app for $10 earlier this seasion, and I've got MLB.TV for my computer. This 99-cents offer looks more like a means of recruiting more subscription users.

What he said..I second Scoble's points on this thread re: What FriendFeed needs to do: "12 new items from Google Reader just got pulled... - Robert Scoble - FriendFeed" - http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...
Scoble said: "Edwin: FriendFeed needs to do a few things to get to the next level: 1. Give us the ability to brand ourselves. Themes are cool, but we need them on rooms and on our own accounts. 2. We need better tools on search to get rid of duplicates. I'm getting a lot of duplicates from rooms, for instance, and there's no way to get rid of them even though they are quite consistent. 3. We need more control on display, for instance, options to only display headlines with no comments/likes underneath. Among other things. - Robert Scoble"

I use a USB hub to connect my USB HDD and USB Printer to my Time Capsule. According to Apple you can connect four USB HDD's, and two USB Printers with a USB hub. It should be the same for a Time Capsule or an AirPort Extreme.

I have 2 hard drives and am currently looking for a multi-function printer that has all functions available over the network.

I currently have a Linksys WRT54GS, but it only has ethernet ports; no USB. Considering other options so I can access other peripherals via WiFi from Windows & Mac machines.

I had my 1TB drive & a Canon printer connected to a hub that was connected to the Airport that worked pretty much right after plugging them in. Only problem was the network scanning didn't work.

Is it just me or does "free" equate "open source" in this article?
- Lars Trieloff
Lars: A lot of these aren't open source: kuler and dropbox for example.
- Ted Roden
Ted: yes, when I saw Kuler, i started wondering ("hey, Adobe does Open Source???") but I know for sure that Dropbox, albeit cool, is as proprietary as Windows Vista.
- Lars Trieloff
Most of these aren't open source. Textwrangler?

Lars: I think you are correct, there is confusion in this article between "free" and "open source."

Mac users, you can stop holding your breath. Google announced Monday that Picasa for the Mac, a free desktop application for editing, organizing and sharing digital photos, is now available as a public beta through Google Labs.

If somebody successfully downloads this, can you please try OurDoings and see if our Picasa button works? You can disable the button afterwards.
- Bruce Lewis
Eep. Is the gap of time between the Windows release of Picasa and the Mac release an indication as to how long we'll have to wait for Chrome?
- Victor Ganata
I've never used Picasa - until my needs grew to Aperture I loved iPhoto. What does it do better than iPhoto? Why would I want this? (honest questions, not snarky ones)
- Sparky, a big deal
Ah, yeah, Nicholas I just installed the web uploader too - still no cigar :(
- Matt Harwood
It seems that most iLife apps realize their potential when used in conjuction with their online services(.mac/ MobileMe). Picasa (and Google apps in general) accomplish most of the same things for free.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
for me it's mainly for multi platforms (having mac,win & linux at home). As an app (and i'm not an expert, used it on Win.) it's very easy to use, with various tagging options and it works quite well on my home network storage so it is perfect for our "home photo processing work flow->(i.e. i move the pics to the drive, wife is organizing and tag them :))
- Naor Mark
Link still isn't working - only downloads the web updater, not the actual Picasa software.

After installing, I realized that Google is investing in video a lot with this, particularly with connecting YouTube directly to the interface. Given that most consumer cameras can shoot acceptable quality videos (which will increase significantly soon), Picasa is likely to become more relevant for videos at some point.
- Engin Erdogan
amazing how so many so called tech experts kept pushing the uploader as the real deal - it finally materialized but long after most had shot themselves
- Kevin Cearns
I'd like to echo Sparky's question: Can someone articulate advantages over iPhoto? Is it just sync to cloud integration?
- Micah Wittman
Personally speaking I find that iPhoto is a 'walled garden' or in OSx speak 'a package'. If you want to store your images in different folders, with different names, manipulate your images with another app, you have to set up aliases and all sorts of other nonsense. Picasa allows you to import your images wherever you want so they can be used by whatever app you want and that includes Picasa. It has basic image manipulation which I find very intuitive to use.
- Mel Buckpitt
It also allows you access to a Flickr like photo sharing account
- Mel Buckpitt
Its nice but it does not integrate with the other apple software (media browser) and it doesnt allow the db to be stored on a different drive :( Picasa web albums is very nice though

Will give this a try when I get home after work, but I don't know if I will migrate away from Flickr.

Vinko, try http://picasa2flickr.sourceforge.net/ Picasa supports buttons that upload to other photo-sharing sites. Now I just need to test it with my site. Is it really Intel only?

Installed Picasa eagerly. It's giving me some issues though. Doesn't show one of my watched drives and folders on it. Worked fine for an hour, dissappeared the second time I opened it.

I'm just urked that the damn program only works on Intel. Programmers, STOP making things ONLY for Intel, (or just new stuff). some of us are #unemployed and poor. :( --- still holding my breath.

Yeah, I don't understand why they can't just build a universal binary. Are developers really relying on Intel-only bits?

Picasa for Mac is fantastic! Although I have and still use Nikon Capture NX for my Nikon RAW files (NEF), Picasa does a wonderful job of organizing my photos and making it so much easier to search through them! It does have some pretty nifty editing tools available, too, although it won't take the place of a more full-featured photo editing program. Picasa has organized my files in such...

This is the low down on our tools for use with the 3.0 firmware from Apple, read the whole post in full before attempting anything. Because of some bugs and unexpected changes this will be a multipart release, starting with the release of PwnageTool for Mac OS X. QuickPwn for Mac OS X and Windows will follow sometime soon, please don’t bug us about it, we are working flat out to get everything finished to release them.

All sorted, everything is now back as it was before i updated to 3.0. except from sms borders i had :) Taken all evening, but worth it.

Hmmm, previous steps I used didn't seem to work... used AptBackup and I don't think all apps were ready for 3.0. I have a 8GB paperweight right now... LOL! Here's some tips for others: http://thebigboss.org/2009...

The power of an anonymous rumor eh. Anyone can say anything, anonymously.

i've been testing it out a bit and it's a very well-done app. it crashed a couple of times on me, but not enough to immediately dissuade me from using it. compared to tweetie, i'd say tweetie is a bit easier to view, but i like the multiple columns and ability to sync
