MacBreak Weekly 70: Happy Life Day!
>
Hosts: Leo Laporte, Alex Lindsay, Andy Ihnatko, Chris Breen, Merlin Mann, and Scott Bourne
It’s the Macbreak Weekly Year Ender!
Here’s a direct MP3 download of MBW 70.
And here’s linkage to a few of the things I mentioned (adapted from this episode’s show notes):
- MenuCalendarClock from Objectpark Software is a a handy and functional way to get at your iCal task list from the menu bar. ($19.95)
- Remote Buddy at IOspirit.com looks like a very cool way to run your Mac from your iPhone. I was chickenshit to finish the install after seeing something about “Kernel insertion”. Anybody tried it? (19.99 EUROS)
- FlexTime from Red Sweater Software is a swell multi-timer that’s an awesome tool for procrastinators (from 7/2006: “2 OS X timers to watch: Flextime & Meridian”). ($18.95)
And, of course, here’s the full, 2-hour version of the truly unbelievable Star Wars Holiday Special.
Happy Life Day, indeed.

Remote Buddy
Merlin I actually can’t believe that Remote Buddy has gone so long unnoticed by you guys on MBW… From what I’ve heard you mention, I think your favorite feature will be the ability to select which Airtunes speakers to stream to right from the iPhone… And you have to check out what you can do with a Wiimote and a few infrared LEDs…
