I've been looking for a really good RSS reader for Leopard lately.  I'm just not crazy about the built-in RSS support in Mail.  I wanted something simple but that allowed me to group posts by category or topic.  Sometimes I just want to read over...

If you own GarageBand 4 then you can use it to create your iPhone ringtones. The latest version - at the time of this writing it's 4.1.2 - lets you drag and drop any song into the GarageBand 4 window. The problem is that GarageBand won't import protected...

I ran across a piece of software called Connect360 that allows you to stream your media on your mac - movies, music, and photos - through your Xbox 360. At first glance it seems to work well. The unlicensed version says it will pull 100 of each type of...

I recently upgraded to Leopard on my Macbook Pro. So far I've only found one problem. The performance for Firefox is HORRIBLE. I am running the latest release - 2.0.0.10. Firefox constantly slows down and ultimately hangs up where I have to perform a...

Now that I have an iPhone, I've been looking for a nice online task list application that works well from my laptop and from my iPhone. I signed up for ta-da list from 37signals recently and have been pretty pleased so far. You can create multiple lists...
