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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Once again, it’s been too long since I’ve posted something on here. I figure if I don’t post something now, then it will be an even longer period of time before I post anything on here. Sometimes, I’ll check the news to see if there’s anything interesting to write about. I do find some topics that do interest me, but, a lot of the time I can’t really think of anything to add, or I [...]

Making audio and video sync up in a file using VLC is much easier than trying to do the same thing with QuickTime Pro. All I have to do in VLC, is keep pressing the F or G keys until i’ve finally matched the mouths moving to the words that are coming out of them. I’ve tried to achieve this same thing in QuickTime Pro before, but to no avail. It’s a much more difficult [...]

I don’t even own an iPad, but I can see why a consumer would have an issue with someone changing what the hard button on their machine does. There’s only one hard button on the machine I’m typing on. If someone changed it from being able to turn the computer off to muting the volume, I’d probably be pretty angry. Why do I feel a car analogy coming on? Oh, I don’t know. Hey, Steve. [...]

I thought I said I wasn’t going to use this bulky interface to write my blog posts with, but I guess I’m doing that right now.  Not that I’m using any of the buttons or anything, but I didn’t have to use the quick post feature this time. I can’t believe it took The Beatles this long to release

It doesn’t surprise me at all that AT&T would strike a new deal with Apple, in order to remain the sole carrier for the iPhone’s internet access. They want to keep Verizon, or any other carrier, out of the game. As long as there is no competition, AT&T will be as happy as a pig in…some really, nasty stuff. I could keep rambling about this, but that’s all it really comes down to. AT&T doesn’t [...]

A Verizon iPhone.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  That would kind of be like a dream come true.  I could finally get an iPhone without having to sign my life away to AT&T.  Yeah, I know you can get an iPhone now without having to sign a contract.  You just can’t use it.  Anyway.  The iPhone would have more than one carrier, putting an end to the monopolistic business that’s been going on between Apple and [...]

I wonder why, at first, I wasn’t able to run MAMP on multiple user accounts on my Mac. I think it had something to do with the number of databases allowed or something like that. Maybe it just had to do with not having the right files in the right directories in the right user account when you go to create content, or connect wordpress to a database. Or maybe it had to do with [...]
