Apple Market Share Surpasses 10%





According to NetApplications and Computerworld, the total number of Windows users decreased in December 2008 by 0.94% to 88.7%. As a result of this Microsoft decline, Apple's total share of the operating system market is now over 10%. This is the first time Apple has breached the 10% mark in decades.

Comparing new Apple users is even more impresive. Mac OS X's 2008 market share grew by 31.7% compared to 2007.

Apparently a lot of people woke up Christmas morning to find a new Apple computer under the tree.

Bubble Shooter - Game





Happy New Year!!! Shhhh. That was loud. Too hungover to even read status updates on Facebook? Then play some games. Bubble Shooter is pretty mindless and easy enough to play while your still a little crispy this morning.

The goal of Bubble Shooter is very easy: you have to clean off the field by matching 3 or more bubbles of the same color. But hurry. More bubbles will appear on the field in timed increments. In order advance to the next level you must detonate every ball on the board. Master your skills and have fun! (Stop yelling already!)

New Logos for a Bad Economy [pics]




The final days of 2008 weren't exactly pretty. Wall Street is wounded. The auto industry is out of gas. And corporate America is laying off employees faster than Angelina Jolie can get pregnant. Maybe it's time for some corporate logo makeovers?

Hack Your Apple TV with Boxee





Buying iTunes season passes to a handful of shows like South Park, The Daily Show, Angel, Fringe, Battlestar Galactica, Friends and SNL will set you back hundreds of dollars. That's a hard wad of cash to swallow especially since you can watch all these shows for free streaming video websites like Hulu, WB and Comedy Central. The only problem is who wants to spend hours hunched over a computer for hours? It makes my back hurt just thinking about it. Wouldn't you rather sit on your couch and watch a full length movie on your big-ass HDTV?

boxeeLuckily for us, where Apple falls flat on its face with the Apple TV, Boxee comes to the rescue. Boxee is a free open source cross-platform media center and entertainment hub that can play movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like Hulu, Netflix, CBS, Comedy Central, Last.fm, and flickr. Hell, the damn thing can even download free public torrents (Refer Madness anyone?!).


All you need to hack your Apple TV so it can use Boxee is a USB stick. If you own an Apple TV, then you need Boxee. Install Boxee and set your Apple TV free.
