Macgasm

From time to time I come across an absolutely amazing app that I can’t live without, be it a silly utility or some kind of time waster. Now I know I am not the only one out there with more than one Mac, so this will come in handy for all of you. Teleport is a utility that allows you to set up your Macs to work with each other. Ok, so maybe that wasn’t very clear. Teleport lets you control your other Mac computers from one single computer using the host computer’s mouse and keyboard. You can even enable a synchronized pasteboard. Now this isn’t screen sharing. Let me give you an example. I have my MacBook Pro in front of me, on my TV I have a Mac Mini hooked up. I have Teleport set up on my MBP and Mac Mini. I set up the Mac Mini to be shared to certain trusted computers ie. MBP. This allows me to use my MBP as a controller of sorts. So this makes it where I don’t need to move to my TV to open Safari to launch Hulu.com. I can do it all from the comfort of my couch using my Macbook Pro.

This is really one of the greatest utilities out there for me. Being able to set up and control my other Macs from just my MBP is great. I do reccomend keeping a keyboard and mouse hooked up to the other computer just incase you need it. But I rarely need to use them. Teleport is free and available from http://abyssoft.com/software/teleport/ . Download and enjoy.

This is a fun t-shirt created by rubyread, made up from classic Mac white and original iMac black keyboards.

Even though I have a couple of old Mac keyboard hanging around, I still don’t want to pull them apart, not even in the name of art. I’ll just let them sit there and collect dust, like so many other people probably do.

Everyone knows or has even at least heard of the Konami Code right?

The Konami Code, known in Japan as the Konami Command (コナミコマンド, Konami Komando?), is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, [1] although the code also appears in some non-Konami games.

Well, if you visit milliondollarcu.be, from your iPhone or iPod Touch, then use the swipe gesture on the site to enter the code, you get a nice little Easter egg of a big eye show up, that moves around when you move your finger around the screen. Nothing really happens once you’ve done it, just a bit of fun like lots of other sites have been doing recently.

UPDATED

So, I received an email from one of the site developers Robert Black earlier about some new updates which have been pushed to the site.

As of tonight I’ve reworked the loading of the iPhone-specific homepage, and it now features iPhone native hardware-accelerated 3D rendering of the Cube while the ads load in the background. Words don’t do it justice, so here’s a short video showing the new features

ps. The home page of the site features it’s own Konami Code and easter egg when viewed in a regular desktop browser, using the keyboard. In fact it’s a double-konami ;-)

So make sure you go and check it out if you still haven’t got round to it.

There’s web advertising, and then there’s Apple’s web advertising.  You might be asking yourself what the difference is between the two, and frankly up until Apple’s New York Times article I couldn’t really make the differentiation.  They’ve taken it to the next level for web advertising.  Instead of explaining how the advertising works, you can check out the New York Times website, or check out the embedded video below.
