Salling Clicker - best software ever.

Posted by twobs on April 20th, 2007

Salling Clicker is by far the best piece of software I have ever had the pleasure of using. A Bit of a bold statement but I demand you download the demo and try it for yourself (if you have bluetooth that is).
Salling Clicker uses your bluetooth mobile phone to control almost anything you want on [...]

iTunes 7.1 is Shitter Cont.

Posted by twobs on March 26th, 2007

My newest problem with iTunes 7.1 comes when importing a large number of MP3s at once. I find if I am importing several MP3 albums at once it is useful to know how far iTunes has got with copying the files, this could be useful for instance, to know when its safe to eject my [...]

iTunes 7.1 is even shitter

Posted by twobs on March 12th, 2007

Whats happening to iTunes? It used to be amazing, but with every release it gets worse and worse. Look at what I had to say about iTunes 7.

So when Software Update popped up last week to tell me there was a new version of iTunes to install i thought “Great! This will have all the [...]

I love the crazy search terms people use, and am amazed how they manage to lead the person to this site, so here is a list of my favorite twobs.co.uk search terms for 2006.
what kind of food does the mars volta eat? – A question i’ve often wondered about myself.

Maybe its not that bad

Posted by twobs on November 24th, 2006

In defence of iTunes I have just discovered I can stream my videos from my mini to my powerbook. Its a lot easier than transfering them to and from a network share every time I want to watch one on a different machine.

Thanks iTunes!

although on the whole i still don’t like it. I don’t like [...]

iTunes 7 is shit

Posted by twobs on November 23rd, 2006

iTunes 7 really annoys me, iTunes seem to constantly want to release new versions of iTunes that have no improvements on the previous versions and have less functionality/ease of use/etc.

iTunes 6 was quite rubbish compared to version 5. Version 5 had all the features needed, and best of all, it worked. 6 came along and [...]

My hosts were hacked last week and its taken them about 11 days to even bother to reply to me. but eventually the site is back up, the damage done by the hackers and the downtime and that means that I’m not going to bother restoring the u rule blog, so important posts from that [...]

This is my little baby:

He’s just a little over a year old. and apparently, he is quite likley to do this:

but its alright, because Apple are providing a free replacement battery to stop it from setting my house on fire.

Except, it takes 6 weeks for it to arrive. In which time it advises i use [...]

Happy Shopper OS X

Posted by twobs on February 23rd, 2006

PCMag.com have some screenshots of Windows Vista.

Its just a blatant rip-off of OS X.

From the basics like the apperance, down to the windows switching based on Expose, and the sidebar which is spookily like the dashboard. And the subtle change from Widgets to Gadgets.

Again, Microsoft have just started to catch up on features Apple came [...]

I heart OS X

Posted by twobs on February 20th, 2006

I Love my Mac. Its my best friend. He’s small, shiney, does exactly what I want when I want. He does loads of stuff that I couldn’t have done on my old Windows machine (Old being the opperative word). He has only crashed once in the 6 months I’ve had him. In short, he is [...]
