TUAW lets us know that Google Gears is now available for Safari. I’m not totally familiar with Gears, but this is a great development for Safari users (like myself). Despite a philosophical soft-spot for Firefox, I can’t stand to use it myself, so Gears for Firefox wasn’t really an option for me. [...]

Macworld has published a short but thorough review of what’s new in the 2G iPod Touch. Somehow, I’ve managed to hold off buying an iTouch since they arrived (I’d love to have an iPhone, there’s no doubt. But I’m currently living in South Korea and travel too much of the world for an [...]

If you’re missing these preferences in the new iTunes, this article will set you up.

This is seriously annoying, insofar as I’m living in South Korea and these little arrows lead me to a blank page informing me that the iTunes music store is unavailable [...]
