The latest Skype for Mac has some cool features

screen-share

My telephone needs are covered -- I have Skype and I have my cellphone. I used to have a never-never-land-line: the phone I never answered because it was undoubtedly some telemarketer or robocalling machine.

Why does Safari crash so much?

Security

I have hated Safari since Tiger. Granted, it was an improvement over IE for Mac but a sneeze or butterfly breeze can cause Safari to crash. Its  slow response to ad servers is infuriating and, OMG!

Enjoy Your HD Media on Your Iphone and Computer with Libox

libox

Ran across a new app for both your computer and iPhone that will allow you to share and experience all high quality media for free! That means: no price tags and no limits on how much HD media users can share with friends and family. I love this, as many of my media sharing apps put limits on how much I can upload and how large my files can be. Freedom is great, especially when it's free! … [Read more...]
