This is an easy one. And, yes, people still use QuickTime 7. In fact, pretty much anybody who has had anything to do with editing videos on the Mac for the last five or so years has been using QuickTime Pro for this purpose and they will continue to do so until QuickTime X actually gets updated like Apple “promised.” Rather than sit around and wait for it, though, we’ll just keep using QTP instead.

I’m always using the zoom feature on the Mac to zoom in to a Flash video on the web, rather than going in to full screen. It helps save on processor power and possibly extends the life of my computer. I used to be able to do this by zooming in and then hitting command+L to and the Escape key to hide the cursor. However, after youtube changed their keyboard shortcuts on videos, the L [...]

This is my first tutorial video on youtube in quite some time, so don’t be too harsh with the criticism. I didn’t even talk on this one cause I’m so out of practice. I see and hear people ask about this more often than you would think. It’s an easy task, really…getting all those desktop icons off of your desktop. Just follow the tip outlined in this video, and you’ll be good to go. One [...]

Organizing Your E-Mail Say you’ve been away from the internet for a few days (anything’s possible) and you come back to find your inbox completely flooded with messages and you don’t even know where to begin. Or you’re subscribed to quite a few mailing lists and the messages have just been piling up over the last few days. Or you’re really internet popular and everybody and their brother has been trying to get in touch [...]

  So, I was hanging out over at IndieNation the other night listening to Brian Aldridge talk about people getting their financial information stolen from a website like youporn (no, I’m not linking off to that trash.)  I am still quite amazed, even given my own idiosyncrasies, that people would hand over their financial information to a website whose sole purpose is to provide people with the trashiest, nastiest videos and images on the web. [...]

I just found out about a month ago that my niece is getting married.  There has been a little bit of controversy over which family is going to be paying for the wedding and apparently, that’s been settled.  They’re going for the non traditional method and letting the groom’s family handle the proceedings.  Before that happened, I was on the table for consideration of “the” photographer at the wedding.  But, now that the groom’s family [...]

Just a quick post, here.  Cleta posted a link during a chat session today, showing a way to create your own Google Plus ID badge.  Since I thought it looked pretty nifty, I thought I’d go ahead and give it a shot.  All I had to do was enter my Google+ ID number found in the address bar of your G+ profile page, enter my G+ name, my nickname, and the hard part, the date [...]

I don’t know why people say something like “Google doesn’t get social.” Other than the fact that they have tried and failed with social networking in the past. They’re Google. They can afford to try and fail at something. But, as far as I can tell, (and that might not be very far) the only thing that causes a popular social network to fail, is the people who just stop using it. Google Wave didn’t [...]

In case you missed it, yesterday, news spread around the blogosphere of Nike’s new “old” concept shoe from Back to the Future II. Current bid on Ebay, at the time of this writing, is forty-five hundred dollars. So, if you’re someone who has that kind of money and has to have the shoes, what the heck are you waiting on? I wonder if they have, or will ever release a pair, that isn’t so bulky. [...]

It would be nice if Apple would release an update for Safari that addresses the issue of the broken Web Inspector, that they broke. It used to be, if you had developer tools enabled in Safari, when you right click on something and then click “Inspect Element”, Safari would do basically the same thing that Firebug for Firefox does. It brings up a little inspector at the bottom of the page for you to view [...]
