Widget of the Week: ToDo 2.0

ToDo is a great dashboard widget for managing your ToDo’s within the Dashboard.  It’s interface is smooth, when adding ToDos a box slide up and allows you to choose the calendar (which then color codes the check box), then type in the name as well as choose priority.  One of the best features in the new 2.0 upgrade is the abillity to automatic resise the height of the window depending on the number of ToDos.  Great widget!

Leopard Version 10.5.2 Released

Leopard Version 10.5.2 was released (apparently on Saturday), I grabbed it yesterday.  Great update.  Has numerous fixes, one for something that was effecting me, where the dashboard appears but is nonfunctioning.  Some of the most noticeable added features were a Time Machine menu bar icon and some much welcome improvements to the stack; including the ability to set the icon as a folder and to view as a list.  Just afterwards a graphics update for it was released, not sure what thats about but grab it anyway.

NEC officially announces a Vista downgrade program.  Just another example of how Microsoft sucks.  Anyone out there running Vista and hating it?  Well, here you go.  You might want to pause the music before you play the video. (Scroll Up)  

New iPod Touch and iPhone

New iPod Touch and iPhone both cost $499.  The iPod Touch has a 32 GB hard drive and the iPhone a 16 GB.  I appreciate the storage but a little costly in my opinion.

New Sub Notebooks at Macworld?!?

According to an article from AppleInsider (See Here) new rumored sub notebooks may be coming tomorrow at Macworld.  They would replace the 12 inch PowerBook.  50% thinner than the current model this is what I’ve been waiting for!

iPhone 1.1.3?!?

Leaks of iPhone update 1.1.3 have been showing up around the web.  1.1.2 is the current version.  According to the maccast (www.maccast.com) it may show up as early as next week, a likely date being Macworld Expo on the 15th.  Some of the new features demonstrated on an 8 minute video on gear live were new google map cell tower triangulation features, as well as the ability to send SMS messages to multiple recipients.  A feature that goes along with the release of the SDK in February was the ability to rearrange the home screen, this included moving icons, choosing icons that appear in the dock (there is still a 4 icon limit), as well as multiple pages for your applications.
