muCommander, a free alternative to the Finder

muCommander, a free alternative to the Finder

One of the great advantages of meeting face to the rest of Mac OS is the Finder, with which manage my files and folders tremendously better than with Windows Explorer. However, there may be people who do not end up getting used in the Finder, which today will bring this alternative.

muCommander is an alternative file browser with which we can explore in two folders at once, very similar to the overall commander of Windows. We can drag and drop files from one panel to another, connect to FTP servers, scan ZIP files or disk ISO images without the need to decompress, and explore the images with its integrated viewer.

If you do not finish like Finder, this program may be a candidate to be installed on your Mac. But since you notice that the design of the interface is not the panacea revolution in design (although it supports skins), and the keyboard shortcuts are completely different to those of Leopard, so its use can be quite confusing. Still, it’s OK to have alternatives such as this.

MuCommander is free, free, multi-platform, in addition to being translated into 21 languages.

The Toshiba G450 is a device that HSDPA allows speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps (provided they cover your fare and also allow such speed) and despite used as a mobile power, does not allow the role of mms or other and so as usual camera or Bluetooth. Besides the mp3 is limited to a maximum of 160MB of internal memory as it does not allow extensions through memory cards.

The connection mode is similar to other modems usb is necessary because only connect through the USB cable included that automatically install the necessary software for connecting to the device is a Plug and Play.

To acquire this “modem” will be required to purchase any of the data rates and only if you wish, you can also hire a voice plan that allows you to use the phone functions.

EA and Maxis reveal more details of Spore

Maxis, a company that we usually offer games for our platform, has detailed along with Electronic Arts more about Spore, the long-awaited game in which you have to take care of the evolution of creatures and their progress as a civilization through the passage of years.

In addition to saying that the game released on September 7, something we already knew, have also detailed that there will be two versions of the game: a standard by 49.99 U.S. dollars (34.03 euros) and the ‘edition galactic’ by 79.99 U.S. dollars (54.46 euros), the latter including a DVD of making off, a National Geographic documentary relates, a hardcover book with the art of the game, a poster and an exclusive 100-page book.

The game will come in a box containing two versions of the game (Windows and Mac). As for the minimum requirements, Spore will not be compatible with computers with PowerPC processor. In addition, the game may not run cards with integrated Intel GMA 950 (card having the first MacBook, Mac Minis and some iMac). If developers have done well, I suppose the same day on September 7, will also Spore for iPhone.

Apple in the Olympic Games of Beijing 2008

So looks the MPC (Main Press Center, main press centre) for the Olympic Games in Beijing… a lot of Mac Pro with its Cinema Display rigour available to photographers who need it. Besides Apple, other companies such as Canon, Nikon and Kodak offer a range of services designed to make life easier for journalists deployed in the capital, while China used its subliminal mind control techniques to buy all their products to return home.

The MPC also offer Internet access (hence is not without problems because of the tight control exercised by the Chinese government), telephone, universal outlets, cabinets and cables for portable security… In addition, when there is time to a break, have areas with restaurants, shops, fitness centers, hairdressers and even masseurs free. Of course, with any luck.

Is Mac OS X the best operating system ?

Is Mac OS X the best operating system?

The question I think that is clear and direct. Today, do you think Mac OS X the best operating system?.

It seems clear that Apple is competing with Microsoft in front of their Windows, as well as against users of different Linux distributions. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, of course, but I would say that among the three, Mac OS X has a few features that make it to be the best current operating system.

Here are my three reasons:

For the interface. Apple has succeeded in making a single interface, very different from the various versions of Windows desktops or KDE or Gnome Linux (partly KDE looks like Windows, while Gnome is also something different).

The interface is a key part of the software, which interacts with the user and which he sees. Apple has managed to make a simple interface, and that details such as closing any application with the same combination of keys, has earned a portion of users. In addition, all applications have achieved very designs, unified and much better than the vast majority of applications from other systems.

For performance. Over the course of my years at the helm user of a computer, I could try a multitude of operating systems, all colors and flavors. In recent times, it is necessary to compare with each other at least three operating systems: Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Mac OS X, either flavored tigre or leopard.

Of the three, I am clearly with Mac OS X, for a very simple reason: the system responds when you say you are, even in situations of high burden on the processor. That is, if I say the system “closes necessarily this application,” Mac OS X closes without the word. In a blink of an eye.

However, Ubuntu system tends to become unstable (not always, but much more often than in OSX) but usually finish answering. In Windows XP I think we all know how the thing is, although I must admit that Microsoft won a lot of stability of XP with SP1.

Quicksilver logoPor ease of use. It could be part of the interface, but just as important as what I consider to be another factor. In OS X, virtually everything is where it should be. It is the only system whose applications were “installed” by dragging an icon into a folder, and delete them, similar action. For this aspect, the implementation Quicksilver plays a crucial role, because without that program, a Mac OS X would not be the same.

In Windows, many things are hidden, and many others are enabled by default when their usefulness is rather grim (example: the firewall). However, the Ubuntu also has a wonderful usability, making virtually any user without having any knowledge, can install, configure and manage it without major problems. With regard to the ease of use, I would say that Ubuntu and Mac OS X are walking hand in hand with Windows behind them.

Desktop Leopard

There are three reasons, at least for me, I find quite convincing and powerful as to consider the Mac OS X the best operating system today. However, Mac OS X still can (and should) improve a lot of their competitors, both Linux and Windows (very carefully to Midori is expected for a few years), and even change some already implemented that not many of us end up convincing.

NetShare, the iPhone uses as a modem

NetShare, the iPhone uses as a modem

Although the other day he commented that it was possible to use the iPhone Apple as the computer modem, the solution posed various problems, for example, the need to have the device open with “Jailbreak.” NetShare is an application appeared in the App Store linking WiFi Connection to link 3G data and allows use of iPhone from other devices.

The solution is similar to other appeared to Symbian or Windows Mobile. With a proxy SOCKS and the creation of a connection between WiFi, for example, the iPhone and the computer, NetShare is responsible for the connection using 3G and channel data traffic. The program costs less than 10 U.S. dollars and has been available in the App Store during one hour, so you only had to buy, install and configure it to use the iPhone as a 3G modem. However, right now, it is not possible to buy it since it says that although it appears in the list of available programs, when we will complete the transaction appears as “not available”. Its creators are trying to receive any response from Apple since they ensure that NetShare not violate any clauses they know.

Dynolicious, another incredible application for iPhone and Touch

Our colleague from MotorPasión Sandman has published an entry on an application for iPhone or iPod Touch. We wondered how come that mixing our favorite gadgets and automobiles. Very simple, using the accelerometer of them. Dynolicious, which is how the application is called, can serve as a test bed laptop in the car.

This gives us information on the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h, we experience G-forces to accelerate or slow down, or the time spent in the ¼ mile and speed reached on reaching the 400 meters. It also gives us an estimate of the power to the wheels and engine. You can save information from several vehicles and, within each profile, the changes we have made to compare and see if it has improved the behavior of the vehicle.

It has the ability to save data from several cars, with weights and graphics can save in each profile changes made in the car to compare the results of before and after or directly compare between cars. According to information from Sandman, accuracy is good enough to give some value.

The Dynolicious price is 10.49 euros in AppStore. If you’re a fan to the engine, sure you get performance. But always in a responsible manner. Calls to your co-pilot who utilize the program, which we want to be Keep reading for a long time and in perfect condition.

Sandman, thank you very much blown the news and hope you enjoy your iPhone.
