I’ve been a loyal Microsoft Money user since 2004 – well, maybe 2003. My transaction logs go back to mid-2004, but I think I decided to start over with a new data file in 2004. I’d played with MS Money since 2003 sometime, but I seriously approached it in 2004. Yesterday, I learned, Microsoft will [...]
I read a Digg for an article over at macworld.com entitled Apple has squandered the gift that was Vista. I’m not sure I agree with the author’s perspective. In fact, I think what Apple did might have been a very smart play. After reading the piece, the author’s view seems to be that because Apple [...]
Normally, a firmware release wouldn’t warrant a post on here, but this case is a little different. Earlier this week, Apple introduced newer models of the Airport Extreme broadband router/switch and the backup appliance version, Time Capsule. Along with that announcement came several enhancements that most figured would be released for previous hardware. These features are enabled [...]
I’m trying to go paperless at home… well, not really. I’m really trying to make sure some important documents don’t get destroyed if we ever had a fire or other disaster at home. I don’t know why, but that sort of things concerns me now. Maybe it was Hurricane Katrina and memories of Hurricane Hugo [...]
About the same time I pressed publish on my impressions of iPhoto ’09, looks like another article went live on Gizmodo. It is full of tips and tricks and is a more exhaustive review of the software. http://i.gizmodo.com/5142596/iphoto-09-the-definitive-review-and-tip-sheet
I had pretty high expections of iPhoto ’09 after its debut during MacWorld. The features I saw weren’t revolutionary, but they were welcome additions to the software. Facial recognition and geo-tagging were the two key features introduced, but it was the social networking ties that really shined. I have been playing with the software for [...]
One of my other passions is the TV show LOST on ABC. I’ve been an avid Lostie since it debuted about four years ago. And what I’ve found as a geeky side-game is the producer’s use of old Apple hardware in the series. We have seen one of these in the Swan station, which played [...]
I’m trying very hard to research and find a good DPAP photo server, which could serve as a repository of photos accessible via iPhoto. I see a lot of solutions like Firefly Media Server that work for iTunes media servers and I know that DPAP is based on DMAP, same as the DAAP which iTunes [...]
iLife ’09 has begun shipping. I received my confirmation just a few minutes ago that it is shipping and scheduled for arrival tomorrow via FedEx. Reports started surfacing as early as last night that the software had begun shipments for some areas. Apple also announced that iLife ’09 would be available in stores starting tomorrow, [...]
Engadet has a great article about what Apple could learn from the Palm webOS. Engadget pretty much hits the nail on the head. For all iPhone users, reading this or even watching the Palm presentation from CES should make you realize that the iPhone isn’t complete. There is still some growing and changing left to [...]
