Get iTunes-style scroll bars in Leopard
I can’t stand those old-school Aqua scrollbars in Leopard. They seem to glow bright blue within the new unified and subdued interface. Long ago I replaced them with the iTunes-style gray flat bars and think they look much better. I only think of how ugly it looks without them when I see other people’s machines. Go to MacThemes and find out how to easily get iTunes-style scroll bars on...

HNIC Part 2
Prodigy’s new album hit stores today, but I can’t buy it from AmazonMP3 until May 6th. For a guy that supposedly gets Web and Music 2.0, why doesn’t Prodigy let me buy his digital album at the same time as the physical copy?? I’ve been anticipating buying this album for a while but now I can’t. Oh well. Here’s an unreleased Mobb Deep track, possibly a demo.

Prodigy keeps a blog
