Mac Optical Audio Issue Part 2.

In my previous blog post (Apple Remote - A Quick Complaint) I complained about the "features" of optical audio out of Mac. Last nite Apple realesed a update that supposedly addressed this problem. The update realesed last nite was 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 and 10.6.8 Supplemental Update. At least for me this has not worked. So far I have not found any comments on forums if this update has worked for other Mac users or if there is anything else I need to do to get the update working.

Did the update fix the issue of optical audio not working? Is there anything I've missed? Please drop a line.

PS. I am running Macbook Pro (late 2010) and Snow Leopard.

EDIT: Today I started to watch a mkv-file using VLC-player and hey presto the remote control was able to change the audio volume of VLC-player. So forget Quick Time and use VLC-player.

Robot Overlord! T-Shirt Shop

When you think of cool stuff what is the first thing that comes to your mind. That's right. Robots. I was also recently thinking about robots and how cool they really are. I was also holding a pencil and had a notebook on hand.  I started doodling and after awhile I noticed that I drew pretty cool robot heads. Might someone else think they are cool? Would they like to see them in t-shirts? There should be enough cool geeks and nerds on this planet that would appreciate my robot designs, they might even think that they are really cool and buy one.

I decided to set up my own webstore using Spreadshirt's platform. You can find my webshop at:


From RobotOverlord! can currently find two designs: Robot 1 and Robot 8. There is model for men and women from both designs. I think they are pretty cool clothes and you should check them out.

PS. Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.
