Using Senuti to Play Music from my iPhone on my Macbook Computer

I'm currently working with music from my iPhone playing through my computer. While Apple and iTunes don't allow this natively, FadingRed's Senuti OS X application supports this. You can also transfer music between your iPhone and your computer with the application. This is the way it should work anyway - Apple!

Senuti comes with a 30 day free trial (1000 song limit) or is $18. 

How to Securely Manage All Your Passwords with 1Password (now for iPad)

Update: 1Password is now available for iPad

After reading about 1Password for Mac OS X and iPhone in the New York Times, I decided to give it a try. I am highly recommending it to friends and colleagues. 1Password has helped me get out of the habit of re-using passwords and I no longer need to memorize my credit card numbers.

If you're a Mac OS X user, 1Password is very easy to use. It integrates with Safari and Firefox to make saving and automating logins and generating new strong passwords super easy.

I use it across multiple Macs with the help of DropBox. Here's the readme for integrating DropBox with 1Password.

The iPhone application sync via WiFi and is helpful for storing secure notes, credit card info and Web application logins - though I find I use it less than on my desktop Mac.

Give it a try. There is a 100% money back guarantee if you're not satisfied.

Disclaimer: I do receive a share of 1Password sales through referrals on this site.

Kindle 2 to Survive the Apple Tablet

I'm pretty sure that the Apple Tablet announcement on January 26th will be a death knell for my larger Kindle DX, but I think the Kindle 2 (small book book e-reader) will continue to sell quite well through 2010.

The Kindle 2 is so portable and functional e.g. long battery life, easy on the eyes (eInk better than tablet LCD), well-integrated with Amazon bookstore. But, the Kindle DX is big, heavy and mostly useful for reading news sites ... which the Apple Tablet will excel at.

So, I think it's safe to buy the Kindle 2 if you want a great portable book reader with long battery life at $249. Amazon's continued dropping prices on it to keep it competitive. I'd stay away from the DX though for now.

You may also want to consider the B&N Nook.

Merge All Windows and Split Tabs into Windows in Safari 4

Mergeallwindows  Silly I hadn't seen this before. But, it's really nice:

Safari 4 makes it stunningly simple to combine all those open windows: choose Merge All Windows from the Window menu. If you’d rather view web pages you have open in tabs as separate windows ‘tear off’ the tab downwards into the window. As you drag downwards a thumbnail image of the web page ‘unfolds’ from the Tab Bar. Drag that image to anywhere on your screen and it opens as a new Safari window.

Mikey Portable Recorder for iPhone

Via @florangela, Blue Microphone has announced an update to their Mikey professional recorder microphone for iPhones: Second-generation Blue Microphones Mikey announced, uses free app (TUAW)

The new Mikey also has a 3.5mm line input for those times that you want to plug in a sound source like a guitar or mixer. There's also a USB pass-through connection for charging and syncing. A newly designed case makes Mikey usable with most iPhone cases, and the mic can be adjusted to seven fixed positions within a 230-degree range for optimum positioning. But wait, there's more! Blue is also throwing in a soft carrying pouch for Mikey, along with a headphone extension cable for playback monitoring with the iPod touch and nano.
