Category Archives: macYou know, the more I actually try and use my MacBook, the more I realize that my IBM/Lenovo laptops have been a heck of a lot more reliable hardware-wise.
I’ve had this first generation MacBook for 18 months now. In that time I’ve had to:
Get the battery replaced
Send it in to get a “flickering screen” problem […]
This will, hopefully, be the last time in a while that this list is so long. With the changes in my responsibilities with Creative Weblogging, I should be blogging a little less and promoting a little more. Maybe I can find the energy to do a post on my S60 Blog, which I haven’t blogged […]

One of the things I have oh-so appreciated as of late is the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application. It has made syncing music and media from my Mac to my Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices a good experience. It’s not nearly as fast as my iPod Shuffle, but at least it makes it just about as […]
Unless you are a fan of MacBreak Weekly, Scott Bourne Facts won’t make any sense to you. Unless you read this explanation, perhaps.
The premise is fairly simple: to pay homage to the man who bought a metric ton of iPhones and bragged about this fact on MacBreak Weekly, a fan decided to create a site […]
Another in my comparison series, this time when connecting the device to a Macintosh to exchange data. I’m not going to touch on the PC side of things since they are more or less tied.
Disclaimer: I work for a competitor of both HTC and Microsoft in the smartphone space. That being said, my day […]
This is why I have no problem paying for Applecare. I request service for my MacBookon Monday, they send me a box Tuesday, I ship it back Tuesday, they fixed it and will overnight it for arrival at my house on Thursday.
Of course, it remains to be seen if they actually fix the problem. The […]
While my MacBook is being sent off to Apple yet again, I have to get work done. After spending a lot of time using my PowerPC-based Mac Mini, I decided I’d go back to a system that worked really well: my Linux/Mac/Windows combo with Synergy. And you know what, it works well!
The term “iri-computing” is […]
I spent a lot of the day dealing with computers and mobile phones. I do that every day, but today was different: things were in various states of sickness and needed repair.
My MacBook started developing that damn screen flicker again. Swapped the RAM and the hard drive for the original components. For good measure, I […]
Ever since I started regularly posting pictures with my blog postings, I’ve been trying to find some way to make small adjustments to the screenshots I take. The main thing: I need to blur out private bits. Why iPhoto doesn’t offer this functionality, I’ll never know.
Meanwhile, my searching finally led to a program called ChocoFlop. […]
Mailplane is a way to make Googles Gmail seem more like a “native” application in Mac OS X. You get all of Gmail’s goodness, but you can do stuff like drag and drop attachments into Maiplane, make it the default mail handler for mailto: links, and others I’m not thinking of right now.
In any case, […]
I have spent the past week or so using VMware Fusion on the Mac. The folks at VMware list their 10 things you can do with the product, though I already know what it can do. Or can’t, compared to Parallels.
The main reason I’ve been having to run virtualization is that my work laptop […]
Monday, I was given an opportunity to attend a presentation by VMware related to the release of VMware Fusion. Many bloggers were invited–myself included. Apparently, they wanted an opportunity to answer a question I raised before: Parallels Versus VMware Fusion: Why One Over The Other? I got to ask my question directly and got an […]
I am honestly having a hard time with this one.
Now I know that VMware, which is now part of EMC, has been around for ages. They’ve been doing virtualization software for years. However, their first Mac product, VMware Fusion, is still not released, but is now in Release Candidate status. I’ve used it a little […]
A few morsels of interest:
The Mac was hacked? Really: Everyone blew this supposed “Mac” security issue out of the water, it seems. The Mac was “hacked,” but it wasn’t exactly specific to the Mac as the issue could be replicated in any browser on any system. It was a local exploit, at best, and it […]
