Midnight Inbox Reviewed

Here is one of the first reviews on the upcoming “Midnight Inbox” application for Mac OS X Tiger. Currently in open beta, Midnight Inbox a complete GTD solution for OS X.

The current beta is shaky and has a some issues, but still worth checking out.

The interface is not unlike many other applications for OS X. Upon inspection you can see similarities between it and iTunes and Mail. So using Midnight Inbox follows most of the rules you are used to with the applications that you already have.

…

At the very least, Midnight Inbox is worth a look if you are looking into pulling all of your “stuff� together in one area to help you focus on specific projects during a specific time period.

Midnight Beep Softworks is working very hard to have Midnight Inbox released by 9/30/06 or sooner.

A Concept Of A Future IMAC Pictures (Transparent Screen and Keyboard)

The full wireless system features a 30� LCD screen that is transparent when not in use. We are not sure whether it’s touch-sensitive or not, however, not to mention it must be. The keyboard too is transparent and is ergonomically designed for the kill embellished with light sensitive illuminated keys. Source

A transparent IMAC has the potential to really be a hit if/when it hits stores. The concept was designed by Adam Benton, and is extremely well done. A transparent screen might take a little getting used to, but im sure the sheer amazingness of the idea would outweigh the learning curve. The transparent keyboard might be equally as cool; just imagine setting one of these babies on your desk! Im getting sick of the generic black screen sleep mode just thinking of the possibility of a transparent feature.

This is a major advance in the world of computers, the Apple “Time Machine” could possibly save you hours of frustration. Sure the new Mac Pro is awesome, and Xserve is huge, but the “Time Machine” is something that could be revolutionary. Gone are the days of saving a file over the wrong file accidentally. Time Machine allows you to retrieve those files by traveling through a time line on the right hand side of your document. The Time Machine can go back a day or two, and is impressing developers! It is extremely easy to find what you want to restore, and restore it. The Time Machine works in Iphoto as well, which is nice feature. Works best in finder, but also can work with 3rd party applications. Supposedly the Iphoto demo working with Time Machine was extremely impressive! Overall this could change the game in terms of backing up files!

Apple T Shirts From The 80’s

Steve Jobs and Co. have come a long way since the 80’s. Apple has transformed from the corny multi colored logo to the sleek black and white design, and the results couldn’t have been better. Honestly, it would be fun and “cool” to wear that shirt now, but mostly for a laugh.

“Be the apple of everyone’s eye in these comfortable, eye-catching t-shirts.”

I guess eye-catching is the best way to describe these shirts!
