On my iPhone: “Koi Pond” Reviewed
Koi Pond is one of the more popular paid apps for the iPhone, and I can definitely understand why. First, at 99¢, it’s as close to free as Apple lets a developer get without simply giving away their app. But more importantly, Koi Pond is one of those cool little apps that really shows off just how powerful and interactive the iPhone graphics can be, and one of those apps...

Behold the OpenServ 1100 and OpenServ 2400. Like Psystar’s $400 desktop offering, the OpenServ 1100 ($1599.99)... Read More
Firefox 3 a little light in the loafers
Faithful Macenstein reader JCM has noticed that the newly released Firefox 3 seems to render things a wee bit lighter than Safari. Take Apple’s homepage for example: “Look at the color difference,” writes JCM. “It’s not as good looking on Firefox. It’s like comparing HD (Safari) to standard def (Firefox). It looks more 3D.” Agreed. Sure,... Read More
