Chrome is gold

I’m ecstatic! Finally the wait for the Google Chrome browser is over. I have to say, my first impressions justify the long wait. I’m in fact putting Firefox on the same shelf as IE, only using it to test web sites. On the Mac and OS X Chrome does not disappoint one bit. It is [...]

Apple’s Blue Screen of Death

Tetris for OS X (gaming is good for you)

Just read an article via Muti about how Tetris can be used to treat trauma. I have to admit, I quite like the odd game of Tetris every now and again! I found this nifty little Freeware Tetris game for OS X called Quinn, complete with online leader boards, network play with bonjour support to [...]
