For those not in the know, the folks over at FireWheel design and IconBuffet.com are giving away royalty-free artwork and icons (for both commercial and personal use). Simply, this is a brilliant idea at creating a network of users hawking in the trading of their lovely free creations. All you need to do […]
The seemingly grassroots but very professional web conference entitled cre824 recently had a 24 hour design competition to produce a website. The results are intriguing. I’ll leave it to you to find out more about the conference. But here’s what us non-attendees do know:

37Signals and their blog Signal vs. Noise is certainly one of the more interesting blogs around. Fueled by their very buzzed about products (you KNOW what they are right?), the blog receives a fair amount of exposure and feedback thus making it a vibrant and worthwhile discussion forum.

It beckons the thought that at least some OS X users have a moderate amount of foresight, but it does something that is nearly unheard of in the Windows world: provides free virus protection. As a question though, if there are no Mac viruses, what exactly is it searching/scanning for? The only answer […]
In case anyone missed out, REAL Software has announced the public release of their new forum at http://forums.realbasic.com/. This is a great idea and one I’ve pondered for ages. You’d think with the proliferation of cheap PCs, Linux, and the free phpBB package that this would have happened a while ago. […]
The future is coming, the question is really what will it be and where will we end up? I’m absolutely fascinated by the progress on Wordpress, the community that has sprouted up around it, its proliferation of web standards, and the future of web apps.

An informative article passed through the ‘Labs recently c/o Stephen de Vries via Slashdot, who mentions a whitepaper, privided by Corsaire, on securing Mac OS X Tiger.
