I’m not only saying this because I’m on a Mac. I used to hate Firefox under OS X, but, I have to say, Firefox 2 is looking and feeling quite right. Firefox 2.0 is now available and trust me, you should be using it (in case you already aren’t). With IE 7 proving to be a royal pain in the ass (uhh, security warnings when trying to open notepad.exe? why?) and Windows Vista proving to be an ugly mess, there’s no reason to stick with Internet Explorer for browsing the internet.

David Watanabe, the creator of the great NewsFire RSS reader has done it again (and again) with his brand new torrent client, Xtorrent. This man definitely knows how to design a piece of a software. The user interface is elegant and simple, with the multi-source searching a breath of fresh air compared to searching the dredges of the internet trying to find a torrent file. I’m sure David will keep up the great work, but he’s already won me over, Xtorrent is already my torrent client of choice for OS X, not that I’d use such an evil and illegal technology.

Brian Eno has long been a pioneer in audio and visual arts. The father of ambient music, Eno’s career spans decades and his technical and artistic achievements are rivaled by very few. Eno’s recent project, “77 Million Paintings” is an experiment in digital art, featuring 3GB or actually, 77 million paintings, on one DVD. The project is full of brilliant pieces (many millions of them) of art and a generative soundtrack produced by the man himself. The generative soundtrack, which goes along well with the “ambient-Eno” many know and love, are random sounds collected and randomly played back throughout the slideshow, making the soundtrack completely unique with every viewing. “77 Million Paintings” is available now and limited to 10,000 copies, for both PC and MAC.
