Well, I guess all the blogs are making their own guesses, so I might as well join the fray. I’ll divide things into likeliness levels, L1 being the most likely, through L3 being the most unlikely: * L1: Mac Pro (desktop), some kind of expanded iTunes service, Leopard announcements * L2: iPhone, MBP or MB […]
I guess this might be pretty obvious to long time mac users, but it’s a recent realization of mine, so I’ll write it down in case anyone chances upon it. On a Powerbook (as well as MacBooks and MacBook Pro’s), the F-keys double as functional keys that control hardware features like brightness, volume, and keyboard […]
So there’s “this post”:http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/06/01/switching-back.html in which a O’Reilly tech editor writes about how he’s switching back to Linux after a stint with OSX. The gist of his post was that OSX did not fit the way he liked to work, and that he could not mold OSX into the tool he needed to be efficient. […]
I’ve always seen RSS (and atom and all these other feed systems) as a mixed blessing. While things like bloglines have definitely saved me a huge amount of time, I never liked the fact that RSS feeds don’t reflect the formatting of the original content. Take for example “any”:http://www.mtwebb.com of “my”:http://www.electricrelxation.com “friends’”:http://thewayofche.blogspot.com “sites”:http://www.johnvey.com . While […]
Just saw “this post”:http://www.bryanobryan.com/?p=28 talking about how there are a lot of hostile and arrogant people in the Mac user community. It’s interesting to think about why that is the case. Maybe it’s cuz people realize they just got ripped off for their hardware ;-). I certainly don’t think I act the way that the […]
Finally, “what everyone has been waiting for.”:http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/07/24/bluetooth.mighty.mouse/
In the name of due diligence, after bagging on the Mac for all the ways it let me down, I should also consider this reverse question: what aspects of the Mac and OSX did I find unexpectedly useful or valuable. * *Printing*: The whole printing subsystem works surprisingly well under OSX. The dialogs are simple, […]
I tried to believe, without really being convinced, believing that I’d be convinced eventually. Here I am, a year later, and I’m not really convinced, and I’m not sure that I can just take it on faith anymore. I think I came to the mac platform buying into some of the hype.. the stuff you […]
So I downloaded beta 3 for Windows, and installed it on my work machine. In the readme I see: Lightroom Windows beta 3 is feature compatible with Mac beta 3. However, there are some exceptions: * No Web module * No Identity Plates * No Lights Out functionality * No automatic detection of cameras and […]
A friend at work is currently building a PC, and yet another friend is in a similar position as I am, considering what kind of desktop to buy next. A question came to mind at lunch, which I posed to my friends: “Assuming you get your money’s worth, will a PC that costs you twice […]
