It's that time of year again when Apple updates their iPod models. And
while I'm no Apple fanatic, I think Apple is a pretty good innovator that
sets the standards for other items. Here is my opinion of Apple's latest
gadgets.

Company policy at work does not allow us to listen to music through
headphones, but they do allow us to use radios. Not willing to settle for
the same boring radio programming every day, I decided to buy an FM
transmitter for my iPod touch. Amazon had one for $10 and I decided to try
it out.

Up until now, NPS has been a Windows-only application. But thanks to the
Mono framework, this very well may change. I've known about Mono for a long
time, but it wasn't until a few days ago that I seriously tried getting NPS
to run on it. And it worked after several hours of "hacking" and
rewriting code I hadn't touched since day 1.

EFI replaces the aging BIOS and provides many new features, including rich
mouse-based interfaces, modular extensibility, and support for
OS-independent device drivers. NookkinEFI is a conceptual implementation of
such a system.

I've had my Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet for only a day, but I am already
starting to make use of it. I bought it for 3 reasons: as someone being
interested in graphic design, I wanted to use a pen; as a programmer, I
wanted to make use of the multi-touch gestures and eventually the
Wacom-provided APIs; as a general computer user, I wanted a more ergonomic
alternative – or complement – to my mouse.

Windows Phone 7 aims to improve on the bad points of Windows Mobile. But in
so doing, it introduces many of the shortcomings of the iPhone... 3 years
behind the competition.

I'm in the process of updating a few things on the site, which will make
things better in the long run for both myself and for my readers. I'm also
trying to figureout how to sort the menus for improving visibility of
certain content.

Everyone around me seems to be using a Mac. Some of my friends switched and
are now die-hard Apple fanboys. But do Macs really never get viruses, never
crash, always work beautifully, better for multimedia, and are they worth
the premium? Do you even NEED a Mac to experience Mac OS?

The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, and arrived in Apple stores on
April 3. Instantly, floods of people came clamoring for the latest Apple
gadget, and the web is abuzz with "success stories" of new iPad
users.. But is the iPad really as amazing as everyone claims it is? Or is
it just a big iPod touch?

Well, it's finally here... NPS codename Obsidian, Alpha 2. This version
should have been released months ago, but I ran into various problems and
ended up not having enough time to complete it. But that's all in the past
now. Alpha 2 is available, and it's just waiting for you to click that
"download" button.
