Every modern Mac has iTunes in it. Wouldn’t it be great if you can hook up your favorite tunes and play them on any Mac? Yes, you can! With a wi-fi connected iPod touch, you can stream your own music from your iPod touch’s music library to your friend’s MacBook, or your office Mac Pro, or that filthy iMac G4 over at the neighbourhood Cybercafe. You name it; the connectivity is endless. The world is your lounge bar.

Don’t get too excited; this is not a new Parallels Inc product but yes, we can control and operate Windows XP in our little toy. As a matter of fact, just about every apps you use in Mac OS X Leopard can be extended to the iPod touch. All you need is a nifty little app called VNsea. “Screen Sharing” on iPod touch!
It’s cool to see your OS X’s screen. Even cooler is you have full control over it, like launching apps, manipulate files etc. You substitute the missing mouse with multi-touch input. That sounds great, except the learning curve is steep. But if all you want is to do is look at your remote Mac via your iPod touch, install VNsea today! Here’s how to do it on Leopard:
The Seagate FreeAgent series of external harddrives is good. But this is not a review. I was looking for the icon for my FreeAgent Pro but none was available. So I made one myself with img2icns. This freeware is so easy to use, I’ve made the icons for the FreeAgent Go and Desktop as well.
You can download them from MediaFire. (528 KB)
They are cool 512×512 pixels giant icons for Leopard. I think they are compatible with prior versions of OS X…. Otherwise, let me know.
I just got an iPod touch 8GB (from the Singnet Nov 2007 Broadband Promotion) and find it frustrating to look for info on how to “Jailbreak” it, change the wallpaper, install apps etc. It’s not the info are secretive or lacking. The problem, as a long-time Mac user, is that most of the info are for Windows users only. For crying out loud, one of the method of jailing breaking involves running a .bat file! Sheesh, it’s year 2007 and some people are still using Microsoft’s “technology” from over twenty years ago? That’s so sad.
Anyways, I’m a web hunter and have been gathering bits and pieces on how to have fun with my little toy. In this blog, I will post my personal experience finding and installing useful app from a Mac user’s stand-point. Yup, everything shall be Mac-only. No stewpit .bat file. We’ll hack into our iPod touch the OS X way!
