SOLVED: Sierra/iOS 10 Handoff problems
Read more . . . →Handoff has been completely broken for 3-4 months. Since upgrading to Sierra and iOS 10 I've been having serious issues with Handoff. It just simply doesn't work at all. As a software developer I'm always excited to troubleshoot a problem. Even the simplest solutions can teach me about areas I was previously blind to. With Apple problems I usually search google, then find a forum with an adequate solution. We know Google can know which pages are most popular, therefore the correct solution. If a user stops searching after reading the first result, they know it was the right result....

Thunderbolt Docks: A long way off still?
Read more . . . →I recently purchased a new Mac Mini for use as my desktop computer in the office. One of the appeals was the high-speed Thunderbolt port. This port is faster than USB 3.0 (of which the mac mini has 0 ports :() and can daisy chain etc, overall it would be quite useful for audio and video editing. I was recently reading Anandtech's article dicussing the possibilities of a thunderbolt docking station. Currently only the $999 Apple display has that feature. You can read more about the upcoming thunderbolt docks here, but the basic gist for users is as follows: MacBook...

iCloud transition extended for mobileme troopers
Read more . . . →If you, like me, were a subscriber to the paid MobileMe service when Apple switched to their free iCloud service you probably already know what I am about to write about. Users of the original MobileMe service will have their extra-large iCloud space extended for another year. Earlier last week I got an email that said the following: When you moved your MobileMe account to iCloud, we provided you with a complimentary storage upgrade beyond the standard 5GB that comes with an iCloud account to help you with the transition. Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September...

Wordpress 3.3
Read more . . . →In case you were considering holding off the upgrade to Wordpress 3.3, take my advice, don't. For a free update I have no complaints. So responsive in my use (Safari on a macbok pro), super fast updates, I've never seen performance on my website like this before! If only there were some sort of simple plugin to cache links before they die to and archive the stuff you link to in case of failure . . . maybe there is, who knows?!

Breakz 5 - A Great, Natural Solution to RSI and Carpal Tunnel
Read more . . . →Hey there everyone, I don't often review software, but I have been using this program to combat RSI for a couple years. As a producer, I am often sitting in front of the computer in the studio for many hours without a break. Some days I work many hours on the computer in a row, and other days my work is quite varied so I need a solution to keep an eye on my ergonomics while I get lost in my workflow. Enter Breakz, my Personal Ergonomic Assistant. Breakz 5 used to be called MacBreakz and it is basically a...

Yes to Lulz or No!?
Read more . . . →With all the news of hackers, government scandals and widespread corruption, two of the worlds most infamous underground groups, Anonymous and Lulz, announced an official statement. I'm not completely sure how I feel about this gang; they're sort of like a new, digital form of ancient pirates. On the other hand, despite their renegade behaviour, it is a natural revolution against government tyranny and corruption as any other revolution has been throughout history. The only difference now is that the computer technology is more vulnerable to attack and more vital to our lives. The main part of the statement...
