Accidents become Tips

As I write articles or do other work on my mac I occasionally accidentally hit some keyboard combination that does something on my screen. Here is a list of some of these discoveries I have made recently. You might know these tips, or you might not.

ety8 In-the-Ear Bluetooth Earphones
Review

Late-model iPods are the only ones that can use ER’s 8-Mate Adapter for iPod, so don’t bother trying with your 3G iPod. I did, and flunked. 4G or later, plus all nanos and minis are supported. You can learn about this and everything else relating to ety8 from the links on its informative web site.

VisualHub
Review

Watching videos on your computer, iPod, AppleTV, or any other device should be simple. Unfortunately, with so many choices in video format, watching videos can be a royal pain. Trying to remember which device can play which format is not fun. And while there are plenty of other video conversion tools for the Macintosh, I haven’t found any that offers either the ease of use or the depth that VisualHub does.

iChat Alternatives

So I’ve covered Safari alternatives and Thunderbird alternatives, so now it is time for iChat alternatives. These alternatives are chat clients that will communicate with iChat. With the exception of AIM, the main benefit of these programs is that they will allow you to talk to your friends on several services at once. Instead of opening Yahoo Messenger, iChat, Microsoft Messenger, and others at the same time, these programs will talk with most of the popular clients at the same time.

Roxio Toast 8 Titanium
Review

The last time I used Toast was version 4.2 and I was pleased with it then. Checking out Toast 8 is like going back home after being away for a long time. It’s nice to settle back down with something that’s familiar and doesn’t cause problems. While changes have been made, they’re good changes and one will readily adapt to them rather quickly.

Maxtor OneTouch III Mini 160GB
Review


USB-2 is not as fast as FireWire 400, and don’t let anybody convince you otherwise. When you need fastest possible movement of data, FW800 is the way to go. Under typical home or office circumstances, USB-2 is adequate.

Safari – Your Internet Control Center

Recently, a coworker had problems downloading email attachments from Thunderbird. The program wanted to save the file to the Desktop of another user on the computer. I searched through Thunderbird’s preferences numerous times for a download location and I could not find anything that would fix the problem. I figured it was a Thunderbird bug. Then I was in Safari’s preferences and found what I was looking for.
