DaisyDisk

post from Daring Fireball on 22 April 2011 04:05:30 PM. © Daring Fireball

My thanks to DaisyDisk for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed. DaisyDisk is a new Mac utility that presents an interactive visual map showing where the storage is being used on your hard drives — and it does it with style and panache. It’s a visual solution to the problem of figuring out where your storage is being used, and helping you find big files you no longer need to create more free space.

It’s a geeky tool, yes but DaisyDisk sports a stylish, attractive UI design. Screenshots don’t do it justice — DaisyDisk makes great use of iOS-esque animation for transitions. A fun disk utility? Actually, yes.

Check out DaisyDisk in the Mac App Store, on sale this week for 25 percent off.

David Thomson, in The Guardian:

How do I know how pleasant he is? I had dinner with him once. Hecould not have been nicer or more interesting. I forgot he was afilm director and came to appreciate him as an intelligent man ofthe world — and a man who with intricate care has compiled hisown legend as an impossible, unreachable recluse.

(Via Coudal, of course.)

Galen Gruman Reviews the BlackBerry PlayBook:
Unfinished, Unusable

post from Daring Fireball on 22 April 2011 03:05:09 PM. © Daring Fireball

Here’s a PlayBook review that doesn’t pull punches:

But I doubt that RIM actually listened to customers or outsiders— the train wreck is just too complete for there to have beenanything other than heads deeply buried in sand. Still, it’s onething to see an impending train wreck and fret. It’s another toview the aftermath — it’s a lot worse than I could have imagined,and it feels awful to look at it.
Why RIM chose to ship the PlayBook in such a state isunfathomable. The iPad 2 and Xoom have been out for weeks, sothere’s no heading them off at the pass. Instead, the PlayBookdebuted with all eyes on it — but instead of a world-classperformer, we got the homeless guy who plays air guitar in frontof the mall.
