Eden has done it again. Here's another video to help put Bill Gates and the gang at Microsoft back where they belong. Windows Vista has been designed from the ground up to make information more accessible. It has been designed around the concept of parental control.
Windows Vista has been delayed time after time. Now we know where the software engineers have been spending their time...
Earlier this week, Bill Gates gave the Keynote Address at CES. In an effort to gear people up for the gadget wizardry they were about to experience on the show floor, Bill touted the revolutionary new features of the upcoming Windows Vista. Baring any further setbacks, Vista is scheduled to be released near the end of 2006.
Any Mac users who watched the Keynote were likely unimpressed. This must have been the case...
One of the cool new features in 10.4's VPN client is the ability to send all traffic over the VPN. As one reader noted, this is great for people using public access, like a wireless network at the upcoming MacWorld Expo.
Setting the VPN client to send all traffic over the VPN has several advantages, and two possible disadvantages. First, the down side...
Mac OS X Server has included VPN support for some time. And, in true Apple fashion, it brings simplicity to a very complicated and technical server function. Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, are used to securely connect two networks over the internet. This is done by creating an encrypted tunnel between the two networks. The tunnel wraps around all data that is passed in either direction. This keeps the information safe from prying eyes as it crosses the insecure internet. The tunnel endpoints take care of all the encryption and decryption so that, once the tunnel is established, the network...
December 15, 2005 saw then end of SETI@Home as we once knew it. The project was a revolution in its time. It was the first massive distributed computing project used spare CPU cycles on home users personal computers in an effort to search the stars for signs of extraterrestrial life.
The software was design to run as a screen saver in its most basic form, though advanced users...
A pre-release version of Google Earth for the Mac OS was leaked onto the internet late last week. Given how tightlipped Google has been about progress on the Mac version, it appears the Mac release is near completion.
Since many Mac users have never seen the free satellite map imaging tool that Google calls Google Earth, and since the leaked version has virtually disappeared, those of us here at Maclive.net thought it might be useful to provide a brief inside look at the product. Up until now, the product was only available for Windows.
Recently, Apple announced a partnership with ABC under which Apple would offer select shows for download. On Tuesday, Apple announced an additional partnership with NBC for the same purpose. The initial deal with ABC was the first of its kind and seemed like a reasonable way for Apple to test the market. Shows are made available for download via the iTunes Music Store the day after their initial broadcast.
The new deal with NBC indicates favorable sales in this new market. New shows offered as of Tuesday include Law & Order, The Office, Surface, The Tonight Show...
Project Motorsport started out as a fun way to spend an afternoon. We set out to shoot some motorcycle video and have a good time. Once when we brought the video back and began to edit, we realized we had the making of a music video.
Check out the video and see for yourself. And, if your interested in further information on the project, we give you that too!
The Freedom to Switch:
In 2003 Apple Computer released a marketing campaign with the intention of showing Wintel users how easy it would be to "switch" platforms.
One of the Mac's main selling points, ironically enough, was Digital Video Editing. Apple wanted the world to see how easy it was to edit video on the Mac platform. And, in overwhelming response, Mac users set out to show the world just how easy it really was.
The campaign was effective for Apple, but also spawned a unexpected parody campaign in the Mac underworld. Users from all of the world whipped out their camcorders and set to work making spoofs in the same cinematic style as the acclaimed commercial line.
With this, Maclive.net rose to the challenge and shot our own spoof. We think it proves that a Mac can be a powerful tool in the wrong hands. It also shows how far a couple of Mac fans will go for a laugh. We hope you enjoy our contribution, aptly named The Freedom to Switch.

Did you know you can create instant slideshows in the Finder of OS X 10.4? I am not sure how far back this feature dates, but it does work in 10.4.3.
