I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t like setting up PHP MySQL servers. I always wondered why it couldn’t be just an application with two buttons that starts and stops the server. Well here it is! It’s an application called MAMP and is developed by  Living-e AG. 

It contains Apache 2, PHP4&5 and MySQL. The PHP scripts are processed by eAccelerator, which results in a up to ten times faster execution than Apple’s pre-installed Apache/PHP.

In the package you will also find a two button widget that can start or stop you PHP or MySQL by one click.

Got XBOX 360? Let’s connect!

As a former PC user I really loved the xbox feature to stream my PCs music to my XBOX. Later when I finally ditched my PC I really missed streaming my music to my console, so after a short google session I found this awesome application that converts your mac into a Windows Media Server with only one click. If you want to setup the same service on your windows PC, make yourself a cup of coffee cancel you upcoming appointments and start doing the “Windows thingy”.

The application is actually a preference pane that starts a media server (probably over SMB) and makes your XBOX believe you have got a aluminum Windows PC with an apple on the side. 

When you have started connect360 from your mac you can now access your iTunes music, iTunes videos, iPhoto’s pictures and movies from your XBOX 360. Now you can start enjoying all your Mac’s music while you are playing your favorite games or watch your iTunes series on your TV without using a video adapter or tv.

The application is only $20,- and is developed by www.nullriver.com (yes, the same guys that made the iPhone installer app)

A public demo is available.
