Wouldn’t you want to know more about the typhoon that’s sweeping across 75% of the Philippines right now? This site is a very useful tool, as shown below:

Not only does it show a graphical representation of how the storm progresses, but the site also posts news articles about what’s going on.

Oh, what Mac users do with their beloved desktops.

Mac clones aren’t really a new thing, but one has been making the rounds across all news sites on the internet for the past few weeks. CNet ran a review on the PsyStar OpenComputer, pictured below:

I don’t know how long Mac clones like this would last, but an article on OSNews may be correct in saying that machines like this that run Mac OS X could be rendered useless through Software update, just like what they do during an iPhone firmware update.

So, how do we call them, by then? Hackintosh, Frankenmac, or Jailbroken Macs?

Every morning for the next few days I’d be spending about an hour here.

Once in a while an application is released that would make you think it’s just another one of a lot of similar applications. That is, until you get the hang of using it.

Songbird is still on beta version (0.5), and it is based on the Mozilla browser. It may appear to be an imitation of the media players roaming around the internet, but it offers a lot more. It appears to be a mashup of a web browser, iTunes, Last.fm, and Frostwire.

It’s a web browser in the sense that you can input any URL in the address bar, and it takes you to that page. It works like iTunes, in a way that it can detect your iPod and add or remove music installed on it. It works like Last.fm by presenting playlists of songs based on a given search item using SkreemR. Lastly, it works like Frostwire inthat it allows you to download the songs — but with Songbird the songs may come from the iTunes Music Store, Amazon, or from a regular P2P network.

It’s great tool to use in searching for indie music, as there are direct links to The Hype Machine and InSound.

To try this media-player-cum-browser, download it from the Songbird home page.
