Sophos introduces free antivirus for Mac

2, Nov 2010

Today, Sophos introduced a free, home-use antivirus product for Mac.  It is billed at 100%, absolutely, completely free — no strings attached.  It is also billed as an easy install and painless maintenance.  From the testing I’ve done so far, it lives up to all its billing. I have several Macs and I run Symantec [...]

Followup on IPTV; plus I bought a Mac Mini

10, Sep 2010

Ok, strike another thing off of my wishlist.  As a followup to my IPTV thoughts post, I have purchased one of the new Mac Mini’s with an HDMI port over the weekend.  I even got the pleasure of buying it, atwhat I believe is the original Apple Store,  in Tysons Corner,Virginia while visiting my in-laws.

IP to the TV: a random collection of thoughts

11, Aug 2010

Its a very interesting time for the ole’ television.  For the majority of my life, and probably the lives of many older than me, TV has not changed much.  Sure, there was that big transition from black and white to color, but since then, TV has been largely the same.  In recent years, a big [...]

iPhone 4 impressions and the case program

23, Jul 2010

For once, I was not the first of my friends with the shiny new Apple toy!  You see, I work for an AT&T reseller and we had an internal policy for the iPhone launch that employees would need to wait so that our customers could get iPhone 4′s in hand as quickly as possible.  I [...]

Apple quietly released a revision to the Mac Mini this morning while updating the online store.  The new version features a new unibody Aluminum enclosure for the Mac Mini, a slimmed profile, and best of all HDMI — making it the first Mac with a native HDMI port. I had been contemplating getting a Mac [...]

Apple’s Mac Mini server is popular, what could be next?

8, Jan 2010

When Apple last refreshed the Mac Mini line, it introduced a new version with Mac OS X Server preloaded that also dropped its optical drive in lieu of dual hard drives. This new configuration is quite popular according to a recent post on AppleInsider.  That leads me to wonder and speculate about what could be [...]

Apple ‘slate’ coming soon?

26, Oct 2009

A taped, internal meeting with New York Times folks has made its way onto the internet and it has become the latest fodder for rumors of the fabled Apple tablet.  Gizmodo and others have posted the Vimeo video of an “all hands” meeting of New York Times staff which chronicles and outlines objectives to make [...]

Broken iPhone, happy ending

21, Sep 2009

Friday evening, at approximately 10pm, my iPhone fell and was badly injured. It’s face was cracked and looked terrible. Fortunately, it still responded and I could use it. Saturday, after checking, I was still under a long contract with AT&T, so no cheap replacement option there. I knew from reading, that Apple was offering screen [...]

iTunes 9 Home Sharing is a killer missing feature

15, Sep 2009

The new Home Sharing feature in iTunes 9 finally bridges the gap for homes, like mine, with multiple instance of iTunes, multiple iPods/iPhones and those of us who like to keep our libraries in sync as we purchase more and more content through iTunes.  So, what is the feature and how does it work? Home [...]

Monday discovery: Working MMS on my iPhone

14, Sep 2009

Reports began appearing today that the MMS rollout for iPhones on AT&T may have begun.  I, like many others, played with my carrier settings file when the iPhone 3.0 OS was released, which allowed tethering and allowed you to open up the MMS settings and make changes. After upgrading to OS 3.1 over the weekend, [...]
