I bought the new iPhone app, MLB At Bat 2009. And I am incredibly impressed! I can listen to any live game feed for the visitor or the home team. The Tigers are playing the Twinkies tonight, so I’ve been listening to the Twinkies broadcasters (since I detest Jim Price doing play by play). It’s priced fair at $9.99 for the season. The features are just amazing:

• Home and Away Team Audio of every MLB game
• Live video of select games
• Scores for every active game
• Full Box Score of each game
• Pitch, by pitch live game play display
• Outfield Positions
• Inning by inning summary
• Video of top plays as the game is happening
• Standings
• MLB Videos
• Access to MLB’s Beat the Streak

I can’t recommend this enough! It’s every baseball fan’s dream come true! Here are some pictures from today’s game.

Ever since I updated 10.5.6 on my new iMac, I could not get Handbrake to successfully rip DVDs for me. I have found a solution that will work until Handbrake fixes the issues.

You can visit oldapps.com’s mac section and download Handbrake’s old 0.6.0 Test 3 version.

It doesn’t come with all of the bells and whistles of the newer version, but it gets the job done.

My biggest complaint about the iPod Touch was not being able to listen to my music or podcasts while playing games or apps. For example – I’d be listening to Adam Carolla or Dan Carlin and I’d then start up a game like “Bounce On,”and it would kill my audio.

Well, there is a real simple solution to this problem. Once you open the game or application that just killed your audio, double click the home button and press “play.” Your audio will start back up and the game volume will become lower.

One of the biggest complaint about Apple’s Time Machine is the lack of control. This has lead many third party applications to develop ways to give the user more ways to use this awesome feature. Normally, when you turn Time Machine on, it will make back ups of your computer every hour. However, I have discovered a simple way to back up my Mac with Time Machine whenever you want it done:

Step 1: Open Time Machine Preferences. 
Step 2: Check the box that says, “Show Time Machine Status in Menu Bar”
Step 3: Toggle Time Machine “off”
Step 4: In your Menu Bar click on “Back Up Now” using the Time Machine icon
Step 5: Repeat step 4 every time you want to back up your Mac

You need:

• Mac OS X – Leopard
• iCal
• Stickies
• Spaces

This may be a no brainer, but its helped me out a ton. I enable spaces and then assign stickies and iCal to my third space. You place stickies all over with iCal positioned in the upper left corner.

Here is the original ad Apple produced many years ago asking people to “think different”

And now, he’s been bought by Bill Gates and Microsoft. As you can see, the PC ad is completely lame compared to Apple.
