I was recently re-installing VMWare Fusion, as it’s very handy to have an installation of Windows around to test websites and what not. While setting up the Virtual Machine, I wondered, “What other OSes could I install while I’m at it?”

At the Worldwide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, Apple announced that they would indeed be allowing developers to create third-party applications for the yet-to-be released iPhone. People were wondering if they’d do it at all, so it came as a big surprise to learn that the phone would be open, and an even bigger surprise that it’ll be done with AJAX!

If you’ve got a Bluetooth-enabled Mac and a Bluetooth-enabled phone or PDA, you’re one step closer to enjoying a taste of the future!
I was able to use Home Zone, now in public beta, to set it up so whenever I walked away from my computer, the screen saver kicked in, and whenever I came back, it played my very own theme song.

I love Aperture.
If you take a good amount of photos with your digital camera, and love organization, Aperture is for you. Like iPhoto, you can rate your photos, and keep Smart Albums, but you can also take your organization to a whole new level with a robust Keyword system as well as keeping “stacks”. Another great feature I love is the Master vs. Version model. Aperture uses what’s called “non-destructive” editing, meaning that your original files are never altered. When you make adjustments, the changes are saved in a little bit of text that acts as a recipe for the computer to show you what you’ve done, allowing you to make tons of versions and save crazy amounts of hard drive space!
