I made the switch. Not from a PC to a Mac, but from a G4 Mac to a brand new Intel Mac. This thing is so fast that light is jealous. The switch wasn’t 100% easy to do, or intuitive however and that was a big disappointment. Fear not! I’ve got some tips if you’re attempting to do it too!

The biggest problem I came across was how to transfer the files from one Mac to the other without an intermediary drive—which would have taken forever. The solution was to use a FireWire cable, IEEE 1394. It was a 6-Pin to 9-Pin cable, which is used on the newer Intel Macs.

Plug your computers together with the source computer powered off. While holding the “T” key, you can push the power button and keep the “T” key down until the screen shows a FireWire logo. The computers will now be connected and your old hard disk drive will show up as a removable drive on your new Intel Mac.

Have you ever had one of those days where software that's supposed to be reliable fails on you? Working on a document today, I received this strange error:

You may have heard that there's a secret icon set for Japanese customers that's filled with pages and pages of emoticons, and the only way to unlock them was with a Jailbreak. Now there's a NJR method that takes mere seconds.

Well the information is here. It's out. It's in the wild. To tether your iPhone without jailbreaking it, simply point your iPhone's Safari web browser to a website, reboot, and switch tethering on, and finally connect via USB or Bluetooth.

Annoying AT&T error message for viewing multimedia text message: "Failure encountered during view message" is pretty much the most annoying message possible for the severely disappointing SMS and MMS service from AT&T.

There is no way to fix it and no one you can call, except the originator of the message. Just look at their phone, it'll save you time and energy.

MMS is still slated to release sometime in the summer of 2009 for iPhones. We're still waiting.

The Pod offers basic essentials for travelers to Manhattan. There’s a room, a bed, a toilet, a sink, air conditioning, closet space, small room safe, and even a desk and a room telephone. The things we expect such as a television or toiletries are also there, but the television is a small flat panel mounted to the wall in an inconvenient location, and the toiletries are tucked away in a little cubby at the stainless steal sink—detached from the bathroom of course.

This article is a how-to on how to fix an Adobe Photoshop freeze at start-up. It involves resetting or deleting the Photoshop preferences file.

In the morning, I boot up my PC and start Adobe Photoshop CS3. Today should have been no different than any other day, except that for some reason, the program would not get passed the start-up window.

Few films come along to express the emotional trauma and excitement of loss. The Visitor, written and directed by Tom McCarthy, is an extraordinary look at life from the perspective of an aging widower, who has simply given up.

When we first meet Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins), he is alone. He takes piano lessons. A task best suited for youngsters, Walter can’t seem to get the hang of playing because he lacks the effort, so he fires every teacher he has. This effort, as the audience finds out, is a lonely attempt to connect to his late wife, a concert pianist. Later, we find he teaches at a college in Connecticut, but teaching is just a tedious word used to describe Walter’s daily routine. Walter meanders on in his mundane life as an economics professor and seems to embody just a shell of a person, lacking real enjoyment, motivation, or ambition. When asked about going to present a paper he co-authored at NYU, he tells a colleague he is working on his fourth book, but the truth is, he doesn’t want to go because he merely read the paper and would rather continue on his path of least resistance.
