Yesterday I received my Speck MacBook case in the post so now my MacBook is lovely and red. Basically it’s a hard ’shell’ that clips onto it and protects it. I don’t need it for the protection though since I’ve only dropped my MacBook once (and that was Dolce’s fault) but I wanted to add [...]
Apple had their little shindig today and as I predicted (but hoped I was wrong) it was less than spectacular. Pretty much nothing was a surprise thanks to the picture leaks all across the net. Amazingly the “price cut” rumours turned out to be completely wrong. Not only did Apple only lower the price of [...]
Apple is holding another of their ‘events’ tomorrow for notebooks and as usual, the rumours abound. Me, I’m hoping they update the MacBook Pro’s since I’m looking to maybe upgrade to a Pro over the summer as a 21st birthday present to myself. Really tho I don’t see how they can change it though, they [...]
We were supposed to go up to Tim’s friend Rob’s cabin this weekend for the 4th weekend. There was gonna be camping and fires and bathing in rivers. However Saffie somehow hurt her leg last week so in the end we couldn’t go. Which sucked, but she needed to get better.
So instead we stayed here [...]
For a long time now Apple has been perceived as the “cool” computer company and Microsoft has been the “bad guy”. Apple is to Microsoft what Churchill was to Hitler, with Linux being Charles de Gaulle. But after all the announcements last week at Macworld, is Apple starting to get a little smudge under it’s [...]
A rather subdued Macworld this year, only five major announcements.
1) The iPhone gets some upgrades. Maps can pinpoint your locations, you can move stuff on the homepage, webclips, blah, blah. Nothing terribly exciting really. The iPod Touch also got updated with 5 of the apps currently on the iPhone: Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather, Notes. The [...]
Macworld begins tomorrow, the Steve Jobs keynote is at 5pm UK time. How exciting! New Mac stuff to wants, yay! I don’t think there’ll be many announcements except maybe the ultra portable Macbook thing but they are saying it’ll be the same size screen as the current Macbook so it’s not really any different? Just [...]
In all the time I had Tiger on my MacBook I never once used Spotlight, the searching utility in OS X 10.4. It was slow and just basically crap. But then out came Leopard with revamped Spotlight and so I thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s actually pretty good, it’s fast, it gives you [...]
I installed Vista on my Macbook today via BootCamp so that I could unlock my phone and upgrade to Windows Mobile 6. It took a bit of effort and a lot of reading but I got there in the end and now my phone can be used with any SIM card and is also running [...]
I had two Mac problems today. The first was/is iMovie which refuses to launch for some annoying reason. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it but to no avail. I’m gonna take it to the Apple Store if it isn’t work since I’m pretty sure they provide support for it.
The second was Boot Camp. I [...]
