“Commandments” told in mostly faithful fashion (Reuters)

Friday, April 7th, 2006

Reuters - It has been seven years
and more than 30 movies and miniseries since exec producer
Robert Halmi Sr. last wrestled with a biblical story. You don’t
have to be an Old Testament scholar to see that his take on
“The Ten Commandments” is a vast improvement over 1999’s
misbegotten “Noah’s Ark” and even holds its own against the
1956 classic with Charlton Heston.

Mac Security Alarm System

Friday, April 7th, 2006

RogueAce writes “A program named iAlertU sounds a screeching siren when someone attempts to steal your Macbook. Thanks to the sudden motion drop sensors that Macs use to park the hard drive, iAlertU can detect when your Macbook is being picked up, moved or closed. Also, by using the handy remote that comes with the Macbook, you can turn the alarm on and off like you would a car, which the Macbook responds to by making the all too familiar chirping sound and a flash and flicker of the screen. The code behind it is from a guy named Christian Kleins.”

Tell that to Al Snow. Tell that to Lance Storm. Tell that to Owen Hart…

In-Depth ajaxWrite Review

Friday, April 7th, 2006

mikemuch writes “ajaxWrite is the first offspring of ajax13, Michael Robertson’s (of Lindows and SIPphone fame) latest startup that aims to deliver a brave new line of web-delivered, AJAX-based apps. ExtremeTech today has an in-depth review of just how apt a replacement ajaxWrite is for the big installed word processors.
