Apple’s iPad is perfectly suitable as your only computer. I know the sales pitch for the Apple iPad to be a third device, but I think that’s just shortsighted. What would your average family really need to do that the iPad cannot do? Play intricate games? Well, don’t discount the iPad’s hardware, but evenso the [...]
First thing I did when I got off the plane is head down to LJS and buy a MacBook Pro. Turns out that MacBooks aren’t -really- small notebooks; you can’t comfortably type on them in cramped spaces like an airplane seat, so if that is out, then you might as well go all the way [...]
Tagged apple, macbookpro, mbp, unboxingGoogle has recently released MacFUSE, a nicely packaged up mac port of the FUSE drivers; these allow ‘user level’ (e.g. do not require being administrator to install, rebooting, and other nastiness) software to create virtual drives. Just do give you an idea how brilliant this simple idea is, think of: A folder which contains, dynamically, [...]
I’m back from an excellent vacation, and more about this later. However, for now, just a quick shine on the ongoing internet armchair debates on who really owns the “iPhone” name – apple, or cisco? It’s apple’s, and the reason is simple. Fortunately, in this case, Cisco’s clear bungling of the case should make this [...]
3 of the top 10 gadgets are apple products. List composed by a (so he says, I guess it might take a grain of salt) non-apple fanboy. While the superiority of MacBook(pros) vs. PC notebooks is obvious to me, I still don’t entirely get how the hell Apple’s continuing to pull off the iPod business. [...]
Remember my prediction of the macbook mini? I mentioned that in order for it to be really small and fairly cheap, not including a DVD or CD player of any kind would help reduce costs and make a 10″ casing design feasible. Offering movies as part of iTunes is pretty much a pre-requisite before the [...]
upfront note: This is pure conjecture. This new macbook is bigger than the iBook. It’s also sufficiently powerful to act as your only computer with ease. Which makes this macbook overpowered, really, for a lot of notebook target audience: Those who only use their notebook as a quick way to check email, take presentations and [...]
My MacBook arrived Mondayafternoon, nicely timed to coincide with an extremely busy week for me. Fortunately, Oliver was so kind as to babysit my door. Let me tell you right away: I can’t believe this marvelous little gem is being sold for only 1100 EUR/USD. I prefer this thing to a 15″ MacBook Pro and [...]
I sold the iBook and bought the MacBook. Fortunately, I managed to sell the iBook for almost the same price I paid for it 7 months ago. I’ll admit that such an unprecedented resale value for computer hardware is made possible partly by some really decent student discounts, but still: Resell a computer for the [...]
Everyone and their uncle has heard about it by now, but in the spirit of ‘me too’… OMG! Shiny! Me want one! So, someone, buy my current iBook. Now to clean up this puddle.
