Chat and VOIP on the iPhone

From Fring.com:
OK. So if you’re one of the first lucky *#@$%&s to get your hands
on an iPhone, you just got even luckier. We’ve just made a special
pre-release R&D version of fring for your iPhone - a mobile VoIP
app publicly available for the iPhone?…yep that’s a world-first!

Text Editors

Searching for a great text editor is like looking for a great photo in Yosemite-- you'll always find another one if you keep looking.

Look no further (for text editors).

Get Notepad ++ for the PC or TextMate for the Mac.

Features I was looking for:
  • Line numbers
  • Macros
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Fast editing
  • Folding of indented text
  • Parenthesis matching
Now go spend your new "free time" enjoying the outdoors.

Mac Touchpad Tricks

From Macworld.com:

Depending on the Mac notebook model, there are up to 10 specialized trackpad functions you can use to make navigating the screen, Mac OS X and various applications faster and easier.

The trackpad options discussed in this article are not enabled by default; you can enable them all in System Preferences using the Trackpad tab of the Keyboard & Mouse pane. The exact look of this pane will vary depending on the Mac model and on the version of Mac OS X installed, but most will look something like the figure shown below. Some options require hardware support and thus are available only on specific models.
