Adobe has released the official version of its new online photo-editing application: Adobe Photoshop Express. Overall, this application is basically an online photo-editing tool, which works rather well for that job alone. It really is more comparable to the features of iPhoto than to the features of Photoshop itself. I tested out the application for a bit, and I think it certainly has potential, but it also has a lot of room for improvement.
On the good side, Adobe Photoshop Express is easy to use and the signup process is quick. Th…

I always enjoy looking at expensive and/or organised computer setups that I can only dream about having. Generally, I quite prefer the simple, elegant setups with few peripherals and a nice desk. Macs, in my opinion, tend to lend themselves to a more elegant setup, although I am sure a well-designed PC could do the same.
These three setups are my most favourite Mac setups. They are simple, functional, and elegant - exactly what I like in a computer setup. If anyone else has any cool computer setups they have seen on the Internet, please …

Finally, Microsoft is getting on the ball and improving Internet Explorer; a browser that lied dormant for so many years is finally receiving regular signs of improvement. Of course, because Internet Explorer did not improve standards-wise for so many years, it remains far behind other browsers, such as Opera and Firefox. However, Microsoft has recently announced the development of Internet Explorer 8 and they have released a beta version of the browser. IE8 shows a number of CSS improvements, although it still is lagging behind Opera and Fi…

I always assert that Macs are better than PCs for everything ... except for games. Gaming has been one issue for Macs that has really annoyed me, primarily the lack of games available for the platform. It is not like Macs do not have the specs for gaming, most have perfectly capable processors and graphics cards for gaming, or at least for casual gaming. However, the lower end Macbooks and Mac Minis do severely lack in graphical capabilities, even to play the few games available for OSX.
This article from Macworld discusses some very basi…

SitePoint has been working to put together a comprehensive reference for web design, including references for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Already, they have launched the HTML and CSS references, with the JavaScript reference not far off the horizon. Both are excellent resources for web designers, with thorough content and explanation for everything. The one downside I find is that the references are slightly hard to browse, with a number of expanding/collapsing menus.
Another cool thing recently launched on SitePoint is their Guru Lists, w…

My last post was about online services, particularly for communication and organisation. Another useful online service that fits into this category is Remember the Milk, an online to-do list service. About a month ago, I set out to find an adequate online to-do list service because I wanted a centralised location to store my tasks (similar reasons to why I moved my RSS and calendar recently). I tried out a few services, but ultimately I decided upon Remember the Milk.
Remember the Milk is nicely organised and the interface is intuitiv…

This week I have been working to migrate much of my data to online services, particularly my email, my RSS feeds, and my calendar. Before, I had been using Apple Mail, iCal, and Vienna to manage all of these services, which pretty much tied the data to my main iMac. However, whenever I went to use another computer (particularly my iBook), I was left without this crucial data, so I decided I wanted to move the data to a more centralised available location: online. The primary inspiration to move my data online came from a blog post over at Ze…

Online TV programmes are traditionally of very poor quality and have very poor presenters. However, one place on the Internet is attempting to break this mould and to produce TV quality programmes exclusively for the Internet: Revision3.
Revision3 currently has eleven active shows, as well as a behind-the-scenes programme which comes out every so often. The shows range from music shows, such as XLR8R TV, to technology shows, such as Tekzilla, to internet culture shows, such as Diggnation. The range of shows offered is fairly good, but is …
