Make Use Of The Dock

Make Use Of The Dock 06/12/2004 12:37 PM
The Apple's Dock is not Windows' taskbar.
We are coming up to version 4 of Mac OS X soon, and yet, very little applications take advantage of the dock.
Application icons should reflect useful information in the dock. For example, an FTP application should show the status of the connection. Speaking as someone who always forget to close FTP connections, I will appreciate having easily informed on whether the connection is still opened, and whether there are still uploading or downloading activities going on.
Document icons should help the users to differentiate between different documents -- don't just stick a generic icon in there, and expect the user to scrub through the list to find the document he want.

Google Rips Off OS X Dock

Google Rips Off OS X Dock 03/17/2005 03:12 AM

Those guys in Google Labs have great taste, but they must have a bit too much time on their hands. The latest of their brainchildren to be cut loose is Google X, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Dock in Apple's Mac OS X.

"Roses are red. Violets are blue. OS X rocks. Homage to you."

Not nearly as smooth or as customizable as the Dock, but just give them time.

Onkyo RI Dock For iPod

Onkyo RI Dock For iPod 04/12/2005 11:31 AM

Onkyo announced the "RI Dock" for linking iPod to Onkyo components. You'll need Onkyo stereo equipment with an "RI" port to support this, but when you connect the RI cable and analog audio cables to the receiver, you can control the iPod with your receiver's remote. Onkyo was specific with how far this support goes, too: your normal range of volume and playback controls are supported, as well as some advanced features such as timer play, sleep timer, playlists, and the iPod's alarm function (which will automatically turn on the Onkyo equipment and start blasting Tina Turner at 6 AM). Hell, it even has an S-Video port for displaying slideshows from the iPod photo on your TV. At 8,400 yen, it seems like a decent investment for 30 people in the world who own both iPod and Onkyo receiver.

Dock-It 2.0 supports Mac OS X docklings,
more 06/22/2004 10:32 AM
Gideon Softworks Inc. has released Dock-It 2.0, an upgrade to its multifunctional launcher, extra Dock creator and Finder enhancer. The new version features support for Mac OS X docklings as well as changing the label size, fixes bugs and adds performance enhancements. It also comes with Clock, Clipping, Shelf Space and Preferences applets that add a digital clock to all your docks, create a spot to store URL clippings and cut text and images, store dragged items so that they can be dropped to another spot in the Finder and offer quick access to all your System Preferences. Dock-It 2.0 can be downloaded as a 7-day demo and costs US$10 for the full version, with upgrades from version 1.x available for $6. It runs in Mac OS X v10.2.x or higher; the developer told MacCentral that it may run in v10.1 but hasn't been tested in that OS.

Call my dock clone Ishmael

Call my dock clone Ishmael 12/04/2003 08:19 PM

Just a quick update to my earlier post on cleaning up the clutter of windows and making my PC and mac more inline with each other: Mobydock is an incredible little app that does a much better job replacing the windows taskbar than the earlier app I was using. I've been able to get cool new features, customize it to my programs and liking, and it works great for switching apps by clicking on their dock items (here's a screenshot). It's freeware on top of all that, though I'd gladly pay for them to keep updating it.

The previous dock clone I was using got shut down by Apple, and I'm not sure this one is much different, but it works great for me now.

Dock Ellis, psychedelic pitcher

Dock Ellis, psychedelic pitcher 06/24/2005 06:50 PM
David Pescovitz: During the late 1980s in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, there was a cool band called Dock Ellis. Their music was good but I liked their name even better. Dock Ellis was a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates who in 1970 pitched a no-hitter while tripping balls on LSD. The Dallas Observer just profiled Ellis and retold the psychedelic sports tale of the century:

Thirty-five years ago, on June 12, 1970, Pittsburgh Pirate and future Texas Rangers pitcher Dock Ellis found himself in the Los Angeles home of a childhood friend named Al Rambo. Two days earlier, he'd flown with the Pirates to San Diego for a four-game series with the Padres. He immediately rented a car and drove to L.A. to see Rambo and his girlfriend Mitzi. The next 12 hours were a fog of conversation, screwdrivers, marijuana, and, for Ellis, amphetamines. He went to sleep in the early morning, woke up sometime after noon and immediately took a dose of Purple Haze acid. Ellis would frequently drop acid on off days and weekends; he had a room in his basement christened "The Dungeon," in which he'd lock himself and listen to Jimi Hendrix or Iron Butterfly "for days."

A bit later, how long exactly he can't recall, he came across Mitzi flipping through a newspaper. She scanned for a moment, then noticed something.

"Dock," she said. "You're supposed to pitch today."

Ellis focused his mind. No. Friday. He wasn't pitching until Friday. He was sure.

"Baby," she replied. "It is Friday. You slept through Thursday."

iH5 Alarm Clock with iPod Dock

iH5 Alarm Clock with iPod Dock 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

It won't be out until August, but SDI Technologies are already pushign their iH5 Alarm Clock, most notable for its built-in iPod docking station. They also claim that the iH5's 'Reason8' (get it?) speaker chamber (get it now?) will help provide a decent enough sound that you'll even use the iH5 when you aren't trying to wake up. It addition to the ability to 'Wake to iPod,' the iH5 also features the standard AM/FM radio and alarms you've learned to hate.

Make every morning an "I've Got You, Babe" morning in August for just $100.

Klipsch will soon be shipping their new 2.1 channel iPod speaker system, called the iFi) for a bit more than the cost of two of their comparable ProMedia 2.1 systems. The allure, of course, is its simple silver sheen and the included iPod dock. The dock makes it compatible with the iPod, mini and iPod photo and will charge your player in its spare time. Also included is a wireless remote control. The speakers are magnetically shielded and the subwoofer provides up to 200 watts of peak system power. It's $400 (plus about $60 for shipping) and available for preorder, shipping very soon, so they say.
