Opera on the iPhone? Yes, and Soon!

March 14, 2010 |  by Evan  |  Interest, News  | 

Opera Software has a version of its Mini browser prepped and ready for the iPhone. Opera Mini 5 for the iPhone will be available in the App Store in a matter of weeks, but the company is demoing a beta version of the tiny mobile browser here at South by Southwest Interactive.

We got to see a live demo of the app in action, but we weren’t allowed to photograph it due to the company’s agreement with Apple. The screenshot at left is all that’s been approved for distribution. Read More

It’s on: Apple holding January 27th event to show off its ‘latest creation’

Yes folks — the rumors are true. Apple is holding an event on January 27th to show off something the company is calling their “latest creation.” Hair standing on end? Good. The proceedings will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and will get underway at 10AM Pacific. We’ll be there live — as usual — covering every little second of the action… so get ready! Read More

Whatever Makes You Happy ~ Makes Me Happier

December 31, 2009 |  by Evan  |  Interest, Life  | 

What a happy little film! The daughter wants a guitar, the mom says no. Then she remembers when she was a teenage girl and wanted a shiny red Oldsmobile Cutlass. She thinks of how her Dad reacted, how well he handled it for her.

Kurt Russell plays her dad, and when he first comes on the camera he has a throw away line I could bronze his sideburns for: “I think I’ve lost my edge.” I laughed out loud. I don’t know why I like Kurt so much; I don’t think he could play Hamlet if you begged him, but he is a great Everyman, and he smooths through this little gem surrounded by all around fine performances.

If you have a sense of family ties, I think you will enjoy this movie. It was kind of the nudge for me to get my girls a dog, for which they have been “begging” me for a couple of years. Life imitates art, or at least is influenced by it.

Birth of an AVATAR!

December 29, 2009 |  by Evan  |  Design, Interest  | 

After watching James Cameron’s AVATAR, I really wanted to have an avatar of my own. :o ) Here is the result, after fooling around in photoshop for a couple of hours.

The music is from the original soundtrack: Track 5: Becoming one of the people. Buy it on itunes store.

Remember to go and watch the movie!

In this post we’re going to outline 5 WordPress trends for web developers who know their stuff.

There are plenty of WordPress techniques and hacks out there for beginners. Everyone knows about the routine tricks like:

These features are all fine and very important, but today we’re going to look at WordPress trends that are a bit more challenging. They’re not the run-of-the-mill techniques you’d teach a WordPress beginner.

How would you change Apple's unibody MacBook?

How would you change Apple’s unibody MacBook?

December 12, 2009 |  by Evan  |  News  | 

Quietly unveiled alongside the 27-inch iMac and the Magic Mouse was this: Apple’s attempt to force the unibody construction that we’ve already seen used on its MacBook Pro into the lowly MacBook line.

This 13-inche didn’t revolutionize Apple’s low-end laptop line, but it did add a pinch of style and an integrated “7-hour” battery while keeping the price tag steady at $999. We certainly had our fair share of gripes when testing this scuff-magnet out, but now that you’ve had nearly two months to toy around with your own, we’re anxious to hear what you’d do different next time. Is the build quality up to your standards? Are you still weeping uncontrollably as you search in vain for a FireWire 400 port? Is the 9400M GPU potent enough for you? Did this honestly deserve to be priced at a few hundred less? Feel free to unleash hot fury in comments below — maybe ole Steve will feel the heat.
