Wow, I can recall every single one of these sounds and how it made me feel when I installed a new version of Windows. Thanks DVICE!

Google Chrome for Mac is finally here

October 23, 2009 @ 8:42 pm

It’s been in development for what seems like forever and early versions of it have been less than satisfactory (because of missing key features), but it looks like Google Chrome has finally been released for the Mac. The release is a developer’s release so it’s still not final, but it’s pretty close to the final version. Bookmarks, history, and everything else in the Windows counterpart seem to be there. Get it now.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Beta is available now for download. The list of new and improved features sounds very promising — basically, it’s a lot of speed improvements, better export settings for web and slideshow, improved watermarking, and much-improved noise reduction.

To really introduced what’s new in Lightroom 3 Beta, Adobe has uploaded 3 videos which you can take a look at here (or via the embedded videos below).

Media file preview in Snow Leopard

October 22, 2009 @ 9:20 pm

I honestly don’t recall this feature in Mac OS X Leopard, so I’m going to assume it’s new in Snow Leopard. But apparently you can hover over a media file in Snow Leopard and a play button will appear allowing you to preview the file’s contents (video/song) without having to open up a specific application. There you go, I learned something today.

Windows 7 torrenting party

October 22, 2009 @ 7:22 pm

Microsoft Windows 7 was launched today and this humorous Funny or Die video shows how you can throw a special Windows 7 party like no other! If you want to bypass torrenting altogether, you can get the 64-bit version of Windows 7 using these Hotfile links. But since WIndows 7 is only $29.99 for students with a valid .edu email address, you might as well just buy it.
