Watch a chess computer think through its moves.
Another link from
Japanese Castles.
Fantastic send-up of Mac OS Interface Transience -
Brushed Metal falls from favour. Its interesting that GNOME is moving in the opposite direction by simplifying the interface -
Gnome 2.12 even got a Mac OS 9 comparison.
Nice idea -
Flat Speaker Leads you can hide in your walls.
If you didn't already know the best groupware platform was updated -
Notes 7. Some
positive reporting on Notes versus Exchange. While the Outlook client is nicer to use (especially for people who use Office and Outlook/Outlook Express at home) Notes just seems like a much more transparent system in terms of usability and back-end administration.
A nice overview on the benefits of
Virtualisation.

Basics of installing / securing PHP and MySQL on OS X. I didn't realise there was a secure php.ini option or a mysql_secure_installation script. They both look like useful options for locking down any LAMP (linux/apache/mysql/php) setup.
Microsofts Compiled Help format is pretty popular as a way of bundling up information. Its always been a hassle to view on other platforms - I used to use
xChm via X-windows on my Mac which was fine by X is a pig. Luckily theres now a native viewer for OS X -
Chmox. It small, fast and efficient.
Create your own GTD (Getting Things Done) notebook - via the
PocketMod Flash app - which prints onto a single A4 page. The GTD meme is cool but sometimes I wonder if like Adrian Mole you spend more time on the System than on actually GTD
