The two Best Skins Ever (BSE) sets for our two iPods have finally arrived today. There is no retail package, each skin comes on two sheets in the envelope, with an invoice and the URL to “How to install” page on BSE website. There is also a warning not to store them face to face, because they’ll stick.
The first step was to make the solution, basically the soapy water. I used 100 ml cold water and few drops of the liquid soap, just enough to make things somewhat ‘slippery’ continue reading…
Just got a new iPod touch yesterday and already had a bit of trouble having it in my pocket all day today while out with the family. I was freaking out every time I drop the keys into my pocket, even tough I checked first that the iPod is in the other one, like three times …
So the task for this evening was to find some protection for the new toy. After I nearly bought a leather case, I came across BSE website and surprise, surprise… the iPod touch skin is already available. Sweet. So I placed an order for two iPod touch Total body skins (one for me and one for my wife… our iPods that is).
Good thing is that the skin is very inexpensive, normally $7.99 (USD) but BSE have them on sale for $5.99 each. The postage is also not a killer, only $1.50 for the lot to Australia, and if you order three skins then the postage is free to anywhere in the world.
Update 18/10/2007: The skins have arrived today, read my review here.
So, if you are after the new skin for your iPod touch, head straight to BestSkinsEver website and get some.
We all know by now that Exposé can be activated via F3 on the new aluminium keyboard, but this is only to show all windows. If you want to ‘show the desktop‘ or only ‘windows in current application‘, you can use the old F11 and F10 respectively, and you will have to hold the Fn key down if your keyboard is using multimedia functions for F keys.
But there’s some good news about that F3 key, you can still use it for all Exposé functions, here’s how:
F3 – show all windows
Ctrl-F3 – show all current application windows
Cmnd-F3 – show desktop
Option-F3 – show expose preferences.
I was watching the Australian TV series Home and away and noticed something Apple has been hiding from us all the time. An all wireless iMac, employing the latest wireless power transfer technology.
Oh good old TV, they never stop amusing me.
If you’ve got the all new 20 inch silver iMac, you may have noticed how beautiful the colours on that glossy screen are. You may have also noticed that they are more beautiful on the top of your screen than on the bottom.
It’s not only that colours are washed out as you go towards the bottom of the screen, they also change as you change your viewing angle. This makes the new iMac very much useless for any half-serious graphical designer. (see the video on the bottom of this page)
The reason for this is that Apple has used TN displays, which are the low end displays and are very cheap. 24 inch model comes with IPS displays, just like the old 20 and 24 inch white iMacs, and they are perfectly fine.
Take a look at the first picture below. Two Finder windows, none of them selected, positioned right at the top of the screen. The colour of the toolbars is identical. continue reading…
Just came across this manual and thought I’d share it, as you also may need to install the hard dish in your computer.
