{mosimage}Today, I went to Nextbyte and picked up an iSight for my iMac.



The main reason I purchased the iSight, was so I could use the very, well polished app - Delicious Library, for organizing all my DVDs. You see, when using Delicious Library with an iSight, you can scan the barcodes, so you don't have to enter in any of the information.



Can't wait to give it a whirl !

{mosimage}The Man of Steel is back ! Check out this teaser trailer of the up coming Bryan Singer directed - Superman Returns.



Personally, I don't know why Tom Welling isn't playing Superman. He should be. He's been groomed for the role in Smallville. Anyway, let's hope Brendan Routh can pull it off.



Still, how cool is it going to be with Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor ...

These days when you buy CDs or DVDs, you'll usually get them in a spindle. These disks come with no covers, so when you want to transport things to and from work or when you want to give a friend a disk, in the past, I had just been getting a piece of A4 paper and "wrapping" it in it. Whilst, this did the job, it looked shabby and I thought, surely there has to be a better ... surely someone has come up with an Origami version ... And guess what, I was right (and stop calling me Shirley :P)

First, I came across this site by Matthew Toledo. I started to follow his steps, but got stuck on his "this part is tricky". So, I did another search on the web and came across this PDF document.

This takes me back to when I use to make paper airplanes as a kid (I wonder if people do that these days or if XBOX's and Playstations have done away with that past time.) Anyway, after making a few, I'm like ... this is so cool, must share with the world.

From its cel animation to its CGI effects, Appleseed is a very slick looking anime movie and is one of the finest displays of modern CGI blended anime. Bandai Visual has done an amazing job recreating (and extending) Masamune Shirow's original comic and making the 1991 anime look like a distant cousin.



Appleseed also benefitted by having a number of popular electronica artists included on its soundtrack including Paul Oakenfold, Aphex Twin and Basement Jaxx (I still get gossbumps to this day, listening to their remix of "Good Luck".)

{mosimage}Apple has release it's latest update to Tiger, 10.4.3 and it addresses several security flaws. The update addresses seven separate issues, including a bugs (1) in the Finder that incorrectly displays file/group ownership, (2) in Software Update that may not install certain software updates, (3) in group permissions under Mac OS X 10.4.2 Server where changes may not be immediately applied, (4) in Keychain which may display certain passwords after the lock timeout, and (5,6,7) in the kernel that may display memory information to local users.

Update 2/11: After updating and restarting, I now have no desktop ... No icons and no Finder to access. Safari runs thankfully, Skype and Firefox don't, that's all I've tried so far. I guess the permissions are stuffed ... again. I can't even launch the Disk Utility, so I had to hunt around on Appletalk until I found out the command line to repair permissions.



As I could only launch things from my dock, I launched the Terminal, repaired the permissions using that command, unfortunately, I couldn't shutdown. When I tried to "su", that failed to accept my password.



So, I had to turn it off at the back and when it came back up it was all good ... now I just wish Apple would include an automatic run of the Disk Utility - Repair Permissions at the end of every update. Please.



Every update so far has caused one problem or another.
