News about Apple Tech (hard- and software), stuff I bought/use.

Snow Leopard and my new MacBook arrive

Yesterday was the debut of the new Mac OS and for the first time in years, I really looked forward to it. Being in technical support for well over 14 years, new things tend to mean new headaches for everybody … Continue reading

Good thing it wasn’t a Brock PC

It’s pretty cool to see Patrick Warburton participating in the fray of PCs versus Macs. He has a great voice and uses it to great comical effect. The reference about Brock was from The Venture Brothers for those unfamiliar with … Continue reading

Even Consumer Reports thinks we’re awesome

A few weeks ago, we received a flyer from Consumer Reports containing the usual samples of their writing to entice us into subscribing again. Tempting but probably not until we’re really serious about getting a new car or TV. Even … Continue reading

New stuff worth upgrading over

Yeah I’m rather late to shill on about my employer’s latest line-up shifts but only recently have I had an opportunity to see the new MacBook Pro 13″ and iPhone 3G S in action. Back when the MacBook was moved … Continue reading

Two productivity killers for the iPhone

At least they were free before you completely dismiss the waste of battery power and space on my iPhone. The first, iPity, was discovered by a friend of mine who’s a Mr. T fan. I think he made a really … Continue reading

One beelyuhn iPhone applications downloaded!

The winner happened yesterday. Not a bad list of prizes too. Now that it is over, I can pursue a really cute application my friend/co-worker Ayako recommended without fear of getting caught in the contest. It wouldn’t look too hot … Continue reading

No more CRTs for me…except for TV

I didn’t realize this until last night but with the iMac G5 replacing my eMac at work, I now completely work with LCD-based displays. How I wish I were at least 10 years younger since LCDs cause less eye strain … Continue reading

New Desktops!

Now all those people on the Internet can go start/spread rumors about some other product now that there are new iMacs, Pros (towers) and my personal favorite, Minis. I definitely would like to replace my site’s current G4 Mac Mini … Continue reading

The Macintosh turned 25, yet another Apple failure

I’m rather bummed that most of the major technology columns in the States didn’t bother to mention it. Heck, it even slipped my mind until another coworker mentioned it. Seems Apple didn’t want any attention too. I found a good … Continue reading

Good thing I gave Somara mine and I took hers

Oh well, it could’ve been worse such as the iPhone being shattered into a dozen pieces right after the box was opened. The guy at the AT&T Store did the best he could with what he had so I wasn’t … Continue reading

It’s a $60 Alarm Clock according to Craigslist

Trying to stay ahead of the Digital Reaper

My recent reunion with Cindy and Sheila and the story I did about printed Picayunes being ramped up 15 years ago got me thinking about updating all those electronic copies. Many were made in PageMaker 4.2 or QuarkXpress 3 with … Continue reading

The future of portables and my iPod

MacWorld’s announcements yesterday were interesting as always. Nothing earth-shattering like the iPhone but still some pretty cool stuff. The new MacBook Air may be expensive yet it’s the first step of what the future will probably be like on the … Continue reading
