Finally, I’m a Full-Time User

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

For the last 8 years or so I have been a part-time Mac user. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t in the closet or anything. Everyone I know/worked with/interacted with knew I was a Mac user. I just didn’t have the opportunity to use a Mac during “work hours”.
Apple’s move [...]

It’s a good week to be a nerd

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Between tomorrow’s pending Apple announcements (come on Airport Express w/Video and/or any form of video integration with a TV ~ I’ve been waiting for “this” Airport for years!) and Thursday’s Nintendo announcements (come on Wii in October for $150!), it’s a good week to be such a nerd that I feel like it’s Christmas Eve [...]

The new MacBooks sound pretty nice

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Not that I’m planning on buying one soon, but I’ve been interested in when the “smaller” MacBooks/MacBook Pro’s were going to be released. I love my current 15″ PowerBook, but sometimes wish that I went with the smaller model when I picked mine up. I used to have a 12″ iBook a couple [...]

BYOL

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Great link found over at Kottke’s site today about employers having their workers buy their own laptop.
Basically treat the employee’s laptop as you would treat the employees’s pants: require it, pay the employee enough to buy it, and provide the infrastructure that works with it, but that’s all. Give the employee the price of [...]

“Macs do Windows, too”

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

wow. If you’ve been on the internet(s) at all today, you probably have seen this news.
Apple has released a beta tool called, “Boot Camp” that allows users of any Intel-powered Mac to dual-boot their machine to run either Mac OS X or Windows XP. This has been talked about recently and people have [...]

It’s all coming together

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

I don’t want to be rumor central, but…
I was in a late night conversation this past summer with someone from Microsoft and they were hinting/talking about a device that they were possibly developing that was a “cross between a Tablet PC and Pocket PC”. I didn’t really think much about it then, but with [...]

Apple is “allowing” the new Macs to run Windows

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

From an article on MSNBC today:
Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in an interview Tuesday that the company won’t sell or support Windows itself, but also hasn’t done anything to preclude people from loading Windows onto the machines themselves.
“That’s fine with us. We don’t mind,” Schiller said. “If there are [...]

MacWorld Frenzy!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Steve Jobs just walked off stage a few minutes ago after delivering his keynote for MacWorld 2006… Lots of announcements today (no kidding!), with the biggest being the new (Intel-driven) iMacs and announcement of the MacBook Pro (shipping in February)…
All I know is that Liz and I have been thinking about getting a new [...]

Where’s my Airport Express with Video?

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

It’s been mentioned all over the internet (mentioned so much I’m not even going to bother linking ~ and not because I’m “lazy”), but can you not picture Apple releasing a new Aiport Express that has video capabilities?
We now have tv shows we can buy from the iTunesMedia Store, sync them to the [...]

Let’s Speculate On The “Rumored” Video iPod

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

If you’ve read any website with a technical slant today I’m sure you know about the upcoming “Apple Event’ next week. All the rumor sites are abuzz with speculation on the infamous Video iPod. Personally, I think it would be a very cool device.
Having a larger screen, I would love to [...]
