Omnigroup Statistics

Here's a page where you can access the data Omnigroup receives from their Software Update module found in their applications. There's loads of statistics for your viewing pleasure and considering that some of their apps can be found pre-installed in many Macs, well you get the picture. I was impressed to read that Intel has surpassed PowerPC on their customer base in just a few months. Wow!

Safari rocks!

Or rather will rock (more), once Leopard is released early in 2007. I’ve been using Safari almost exclusively on my Macs for several years.

Back from the abyss.

Magnatune: η 'καλή' δισκογραφική

Το 2002 αγόρασα τον πρώτο μου μάκιντος με τη βοήθεια του πατέρα μου. Ήταν ένα Powerbook G4 στα 550MHz. Σπανίως χρησιμοποιούσα το iTunes τότε· πρωτόγονο και αποκλειστική εφαρμογή για Mac, μοναδική πραγματικά χρήσιμη λειτουργία του ήταν η διάθεση και ομαδοποίηση διαδικτυακών ‘ραδιοφωνικών σταθμών’. Μέσα από τον κατάλογο ‘σταθμών’ του iTunes έμαθα τη Magnatune, λίγους μήνες […]
