When your new product features on more blogs than even the US President, it seems safe to say you hit the launch marketer’s goal: create awareness … The iPhone, the multi-functional device unveiled by Apple, the US electronics group, on January 9, did precisely that … According to Nielsen BuzzMetrics, a system [...]
Mark/Space, Inc. announced the release of SyncTogether recently. It’s a product that allows you to sync data (think Address Book, Mail, iCal, etc.) across multiple computers and as such will be going head-to-head with Apple’s .Mac service. I’ve read a few comments about it recently on the Yojimbo mail list and, for the [...]
Infinite Loop has a post regarding virtualizing Windows Vista under Parallels. It seems that only the EULA for Vista Enterprise and Ultimate allow you to run virtualized, which means you have to pony up $399. For Windows. It’s times like this that I’m glad I get my copy of Windows through the [...]
I don’t care for Kevin Federline or his soon-to-be-ex Britney Spears, but the commercial he made for Nationwide (to be shown during the Super Bowl) is hilarious. I’ve got to give him credit to be willing to laugh at himself (assuming he gets the joke).

Perceptive Pixel’s website is nothing more than a placeholder but stays the company was founded in 2006. TED Talks has a video of a [...]
Let me make this clear: MacMP3Gain did not cause me to lose any files or songs. I’ve got something funky going on with my filesystem. I ran hardware diagnostics and everything came up clean, but when I ran Disk Utility the filesystem had a lot of errors. I repaired the disk and [...]
This is just a mini-update. Out of the 6,500 songs in my library, MacMP3Gain seems to have lost/deleted/misplaced approximately 53 of them. If they’re on my system, I can’t find them.
I’m glad I made a backup.
Something funky is going on. I’ll need to investigate this further.
From my own CDs to purchases from iTMS and eMusic to downloads from Goombah and various other places, my iTunes library contains music from a variety of sources. The main problem this creates is a (sometimes huge) variation in volume from song to song. I usually live in “shuffle mode,” meaning that it’s [...]
