Daylite 3.12 is now available for download.

Use Facebook Chat with iChat!

Posted: : March 16/2010

We all love Apples iChat, its my favourite application for IM because it does so many different things! (file sharing, screen sharing, web-cam) Now we add to that list adding our Facebook Chat into iChat.

We need to first get your Facebook username so go to your home profile. Now look at your URL bar.
(view http://www.facebook.com/your_username/) Copy or remember the username without the "?ref=profile" if you see that like i do.

Open iChat, then select iChat > Preferences and click on the Accounts tab.

Click on the + sign to add a new account, now input these settings:

Stream your Podcast's Over 3G

Posted: : December 3/2009

For some time you have been able to download your Podcast's directly to your iPhone. However lets say your on the Skytrain or Bus and you want to listen to that freshly released Podcast, the problem is to download anything over 10MB requires that you be connected to WiFi.

So that's not going to work out so well for you. But instead of tapping the "download" button on a Podcast, simply tap the episode's title.

Block Those Ad's

There is a great debate over which browsers to use on the Mac, I get the question about 10 times a week. Which browser should I use and why?

There are Pro's and Con's to all of the browsers out there, but the one thing I do like about the Firefox browser, is that the application is an open-sourced application. Meaning this permits users to use, change, and improve the software, or redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms.

This is a mixed bag in the ways that software developers can enhance and also diminish the quality of a product.

Share URLs on your iPhone

Posted: : November 17/2009

Find a great webpage on your iPhone and want to share it with someone? Tap on the address bar, and then tap on Share. A new e-mail message, containing the URL, will open in Mail; just choose one or more recipients, add your comments, and tap on Send.

Backups, Made Easy!

Posted: : October 26/2009

Sooner or later, you will lose files, so you have to be prepared. Fortunately, Time Machine the backup application built in to Snow Leopard (and Leopard) makes backups easy.

The first thing you’ll need to purchase is an External USB or FireWire hard drive. If you don't know what your looking for, buy the largest drive you can afford. A 500 GB or 1 TB drive is a safe bet. Try the Western Digital's WD Passport, or the Western Digital My Book Studio Edition. Also Lacie's d2 Quadra Hard Disk or Grand Hard disk are a great and visually attractive option.
