The MacTrack – iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch and Mac News

Zattoo is real live TV, for free, on your PC, Mac or Linux box.

Watch BBC channels, ITV, CH4 and Five (plus many more)

From the Zattoo website:

It’s absolutely free. It’s the football game as you chat, the news as you email, and your favorite soap as you pay your bills. Zattoo is also TV when you don’t have a TV – it’s the channels you want, when you want, where you want

This is a music video for Geoff Smith‘s Ones and 0s, a song about how nasty comments on a blog post can really hurt a person.

Have you ever needed to access your Mac when away from the office, your home, or when out and about, for example at an airport, friends house, or internet cafe?  If so then your problems are over:

LogMeIn Free is a great service provided by LogMeIn (surprisingly). Once set-up on your Mac (Windows is also supported) you can securely access it from anywhere in the world. After the software is installed it sits unobtrusively on the menu bar until it receives a valid an authenticated remote control request from the LogMeIn website.

Initially, before you can connect to a computer (be it a Mac or a Windows PC), you have to authorise your LogMeIn account with the machine in question. In other words you have to be sitting at it.

When away from your Mac/PC simply log in to the LogMeIn website and you can see the status of all the remote machines connected to, and authenticated against, your account. Providing the remote computer is switched on and connected to the internet (otherwise it’s status shows as offline) you then simply click on the computer name, follow the prompts, and off you go!

Let me know how you get on, and enjoy your remote access. Hopefully it’ll prove invaluable when you realise you’ve left that all important file behind

If you are looking for a great RSS newsreader for the Mac then I highly recommend the feed reader Newsfire.

It’s configurable, it allows video and audio playback within the reader and it’s fast. Navigation is a breeze: simply press the spacebar to view each new news article, and to open the full article in your preferred browser just hit return. A nice feature is that the browser opens behind the newsreader (although you can change this if you like) meaning that your news reading can continue uninterrupted until you choose to switch to your browser window(s)

Best of all, it’s free!
