Yes, I’m Still Using The Mac

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I’m still a noob when it comes to things related to OSX, but I’m still going at it. Matter of fact, when I’m at home I hardly touch my PC. The only time I do that is once a week when I need to run Quicken. I must say, there is one incredibly annoying thing that I’ve found about using the Mac… Me.

I get so use to using the Mac, especially the keyboard shortcuts that I try using them when I’m on a PC. This happens when I first load up Quicken, and in the mornings when I get to work. I have to remember to “switch” myself back to the Windows world.

Aside from that, I’m loving it. :) I really wish I had the $$$ to buy a iMac or a MacBook, but for now my little Mac Mini (which I upgraded) is doing everything I need it to do. – Speaking of the upgrade, I’d been meaning to post pictures of that process, but I’ve been a little more than busy lately. I’ll get that done when I can.

What if Apple Created a Gaming Console?

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Everyone refers to the Xbox 360, PS3, and to a lesser extent the Nintendo Wii as a “next gen” gaming console. Does that mean the next round of consoles (Xbox 3602, PS4, Wii2) will be third gen, or will they just be the new “next gen”? I know, who cares, right?

A while back Apple announced to investors that there would be a “product transition”. No one is really sure what this is, or when it would be. Some think it was the new iPod Nano, the change to the iPod Touch, or even the new MacBooks. Others think it may be some kind of NetBook or Apple Tablet. Still others think it could be a new networked type TV. And some people think we have yet to se it.

Well, what if Apple were to venture into the realm of console gaming systems… better yet, what if they already had, and you didn’t know it. Perhaps you already have an Apple console in your living room, office, or bedroom. It may not be as big of a stretch as you think. (more…)

My First Mac

Friday, September 5th, 2008

In case you missed it on Plurk or Neowin, Wednesday afternoon I bought my first Mac. Yes, you are reading that correctly… I now own a Macintosh computer. To be more specific, I now own a Mac Mini. Why a Mac Mini? Well for starters it was cheap. ;) (more…)
