1001: another reason to get a mac
As if there weren’t enough good reasons to buy a mac… Someone comes along and writes an OS X only app that makes you wonder why everyone doesn’t have at least one Mac in their stable. 1001 is one such app. It interfaces with flickr to deliver photo streams to your desktop. The latest version comes with a screensaver that displays pictures from your photo stream—very cool. I’m currently pulling photos with the tags: Chicago, architecture, and Hawaii (in honor of my recent trip to Hawaii).
I saw a disproportionately large showing of Aluminum PowerBooks when I was in Hawaii. I stayed on a club floor and visited the club lounge every morning for breakfast. There was free WiFi in the lounge and several people, including myself, showed up with laptops. How can you beat breakfast on a balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean with WiFi? There were several people there with PowerBooks. My brother was in the minority with his ThinkPad.
