Long time no see!
I don’t know about you, but I saw so many pranks flying around on April Fools’ Day, that I couldn’t be sure what’s for real and what’s not. For a moment, I was dead sure April was going to announce Tiger on the 1st, which happens to be their (Apple’s) anniversary I’m told, unless of course that was a smart ass’s idea of a joke.
Another reason for not much activity around here is Continue reading “Now playing!”
You own a MP3 player? You spend some time every day commuting/ traveling? You tired of listening to your MP3 collection?
Read on if you answered yes to all of the above, or even if you didn’t because this can still be of use to you 😉

Google did something interesting the other day, which only a lucky few could catch before it vanished. It was called Google X, Google’s “tribute” to Mac OS X.
Basically, the icons on the page “zoomed” in realtime when mouse was rolled over them. This, of course, is exactly how icons in the dock behave in Mac OS X (if magnification is enabled obviously). Pretty cool, eh?
But Google later removed the page, possibly because it stepped on some Apple patents, though one can’t be sure. There has been no official word from them on this topic as far as I know.
I managed to save that page and was able to reconstruct the effect with a little effort. You can check it out here in case you missed it earlier.
PS – If anyone from Google or Apple legal thinks I’m stepping on toes I shouldn’t, please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to remove the page.
