Decyphering Apple chat and messaging choices for Mac and iOS.

6, Dec 2011

Apple has made a name for itself by inventing solutions with slick and well thought out interfaces that are easy to understand and use.  It has also made a name for itself as an innovator, creating new technology after new technology.  Most times, Apple has had a very focused strategy when it comes to solving [...]

LogMeIn Ignition surprises, impresses and it’s on sale

1, Dec 2011

I broke down.  I bought LogMeIn Ignition, the remote control software for iOS.  I resisted the purchase since the launch of the software in the App Store.  I simply couldn’t see spending $30 for a piece of software that I could not see translating into a touch interface.  But, this week, I found LogMeIn Ignition [...]

Fix for greyed out ‘Ask to Share Screen’ option in iChat

8, Nov 2011

I have a friend that I help with her Mac issues from time to time and I noticed a few months back when she asked for help that I could no longer ‘Ask to Share User’s Screen’ in iChat.  As far I had ever seen, there was no where in iChat to turn on or turn [...]

Spending FaceTime with clients and family

21, Oct 2011

One of the more brilliant features included with the iPhone 4, and now the iPhone 4S, is something Apple calls FaceTime.  It’s a video chat service that is dead simple to setup and use.  For other iPhone users, it uses your phone number to identify you (no additional account needed) and for other Macs and [...]

What I’m passionate about: Apple, Inc.

27, Aug 2011

When I first began the blog, to introduce myself and who I am to the audience, I did a series of posts about companies and products that I admired.  I started, but never completed, a post about Apple – a company that I very much admire. I found it hard to put into word why [...]

On this day, three years ago…

4, Aug 2011

On this day, three years ago, I posted my first entry on Tech Talk.  At the time, the idea was to try to contribute back to a community of technical resources whose blogs had contributed so much knowledge to me.  I had found their blog posts about VMware ESX and vCenter invaluable and the information [...]

OS X Lion is download only, but what if??

21, Jun 2011

Apple announced a couple weeks ago that Mac OS X Lion will only be available as a download from its Mac App Store.  So what about all the people who have slower Internet connections (DSL Lite), dial-up or, as scary as it sounds, those who don’t have Internet at all?  ComputerWorld has posted an article [...]

Steve Jobs to announce iCloud, demo OS X Lion, iOS 5 at WWDC

31, May 2011

Next week, while I’m occupied at HP Discover in Las Vegas, Steve Jobs and company will be busy with their annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.  And, as confirmed by Apple PR this morning, Jobs and Co. will be unveiling the latest iterations of its operating systems, Mac OS X Lion and iOS 5, [...]

Warning: Stay away from MAC Defender

19, May 2011

I’m a little late to the show with this, but I figured I’d put this out there, too.  There is a malware program going around called MAC Defender that disguises itself as Mac antivirus and malware removal software.  From what I am reading online, since I have not seen the software myself, just stay away [...]

Mozy nixes unlimited backups; disappoints with lack of tools to manage data

1, Feb 2011

I have relied on Mozy backup for a few years now.  I really like their online backup service.  I’ve been a proponent of Mozy for a long time and I’ve written about their service several times on my blog.  But this morning, I found out that they had changed the rules of the game and [...]
