Stainless: The New, Multi-Processor Browser for Mac OS X

A few months ago I stumbled upon this new browser for Mac called Stainless and I immediately realized the developers had big plans for it. The browser was fast, stable, it featured a simple and uncluttered UI and some good features which made it stand out from the crowd. I really appreciated the “tabs as single processes” thing, inspired by Google Chrome.

But now that Chrome is out on the Mac as well and Mozilla is working hard on the next version of Firefox (the much anticipated 4.0 version that will hopefully refresh the whole interface) is Stainless still the new kid on the block of Mac browsers worth a look, or is it just a geek alternative to Safari, Chrome, whatever? Could it be your new default browser?

So,you bought a Mac and you think you’ll never have to mess with caches, logs and disk space wasting space anymore, right? Well, this is wrong. You should know, in fact, that your Mac will store these kinds of files overtime, and these files will start wasting a lot of of your hard drive if you don’t use a 3rd party cleaning software, or just do it manually. That’s why apps such CleanMyMac exist. Today another similar app has been released, it’s called Purity, it’s created by Tim Parnell (one of the devs of Tinygrab) and it’s amazingly simple.

Record Your Life with Momento, a Diary Writing App for iPhone.

Someone once said “Life gives us brief moments with another…but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time…”. And this is absolutely true: you don’t remember your entire life, you just remember some moments of what you’ve gone through, that’s how human mind works. Now, this is the main reason why people sometimes choose to write songs and books or paint something, right? They want that particular moment to be remembered forever. But if you think about it, wouldn’t it be simpler to just write down every important moment of every single day?

Apple Orders 10-Inch Tablet Displays Amid iSlate Talk

Link

“A subsidiary of Foxconn, Innolux, will supply Apple with the majority of 10-inch glass displays and Wintek, which provides most iPhone display panels, will handle the remainder, according to Taiwan’s DigiTimes. The publication said Apple could announce its tablet in January with major shipments by March, 2010. One report has suggested Apple has told Foxconn it needs 300,000 tablets per month. If true, the report would dovetail with recent speculation Apple booked San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Jan. 26 for a product announcement.

Even before the tablet is unveiled the product hit a delay, prompting the wait until the first quarter of 2010. Apple has been searching for a way to strengthen the tablet’s glass panel, according to DigiTimes. Reportedly, another Foxconn subsidiary, G-Tech Optoelectronics, will provide the answer.

In another hint suppliers are ramping up for an Apple tablet, Cheng Uei Precision received orders for flat-panel “connectors.” However, the company suggests the components won’t ship until the third quarter of 2010, appearing to dispute a January announcement.”

Seems like this time is real. They should have told me that Christmas would come with a 30 days delay, anyway.
