Mac OS X 10.7 Lion drivers are available from Canon’s Australian site. Installing these drivers from Canon Japan after upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8), deleting and re-adding my printer connected via Ethernet worked for me.

Listening to their music while driving on Icelandic roads is just perfect. On November 5th Sigur Rós is planning to release the documentary Heima (at home) about their 2006 tour on Iceland. Watching the trailer makes […]

This has to be the worst product name ever: TrekStor sells an MP3 player named i.Beat blaxx. Via Daring Fireball TrekStor removed the i.Beat from the player’s name. That was quick.

Dear Steve, I’m impressed with your recent introduction of the iPhone. Congratulations on keeping it (almost) secret for so long. Instead of sleeping I’ve watched your keynote the same night and played with all those nice animations on the iPhone pages. My current Sony Ericsson phone now feels like my granny’s landline phone. You’ve proven […]

Please don’t take this as an insult, but I can’t fix your computer! (Well, probably I could but maybe I don’t want to. Do you want to mow my lawn for free?)
