Daily Links – 12th Feb 2009

This week, the biggest news socially has to be Google Buzz, a social aggregator integrated into Gmail. It needs to be refined more, but right now, its doing its purpose, worrying Twitter.

This is what else I’ve been reading this week.

Miralinks 17/06/09

Day 3 into my new fangled toy has been pretty good. Overall Mac does some things better than Windows, but in others, Windows is the victorious OS. I cannot use any Adobe apps on Mac, no matter how hard I try.

On an unrelated note, I’ve noticed I’ve been making quite a few horrendous mistakes when desiging in Photoshop, and the color management is different in Windows and Mac. Becasue of this I’ve decided to just redesign my site again, to both save time, and to challenge me with my Mac keyboard.

So lets start my inaugural post on my Mac machine with a few quality links

• One of my favourite designers, Chris Coyier, is going to be writing a book about my favourite CMS platform, Wordpress. Cant wait to check it out.
• It’s amazing how many people dont know what a browser is.
• Turns out its not us pirates who are killing the music industry. Thanks Bernie.
• 50 great icons sets, I will be including a few in Miralize v9 (Yup 9…)
• How to intentionally become a loner on a social network : Twitter
• Microsoft are seriously upping their game
