Spaces

When the first details of Leopard sprung onto the scene at WWDC 2006, Spaces was something which caught the eye for a second, and immediately disappeared from my mind. Even over the past few weeks when the official feature list was posted on Apple’s website and Spaces was featured as one of the main components [...]

Leopard Migration: How It Went Down

Typing this post within the brand new and still shiny Leopard environment, I’m now completely setup and running with the new evolutionary operating system from Apple – OSX 10.5 Leopard.
Leopard turned up two days earlier than I had expected – landing on my doorstep on Saturday afternoon along with a few other goodies. I’d [...]

Leopard Migration Plans

My copy of Mac OSX Leopard left Sydney on route to Auckland, New Zealand as of last night. I’m not expecting it to turn up until Monday morning due to living at a rural delivery address in New Zealand, though if I could order Leopard again, I’d have it sent to a friends place in [...]

4 Classy External Backup Drives To Pair With Time Machine

With the release of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard just over 24 hours away, if you’re like me you’ll be eagerly preparing for the new operating system. I’ve been asked a few times over the weeks leading up to the launch announcement of Leopard on which external hard drives would be good to hook up for [...]

Apple’s Developing Relationship With YouTube

As Apple has become more involved with mobile media, they’ve developed a strong connection with Google integrating YouTube into their line of products. The integration of YouTube they’ve mapped in on the iPhone, iPod touch and the Apple TV is impressive – their connection with Google has increased in strength and reach as the year [...]

10 Small But Significant Leopard Features

The latest and greatest Mac operating system OSX Leopard 10.5 is just six days away from arriving in our hands. I took a good look at the full list of 300 new features and hand picked ten small but significant ones to showcase.
Multicore Enhanced OS
As I’m sporting a Mac Pro, I like to make the [...]

Desktop Friday: The Forty Third

Each and every Friday I post a desktop wallpaper which I have taken personally on travels and outings with my Canon 350D. The wallpaper is sized at a resoultion of 2560×1600 pixels, big enough to be used on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, so no-one will miss out.

Apple’s Customer Support Continues To Amaze Me

A few days after posting about the troubles I were having with the Apple Wireless keyboard, I received an email from an Apple customer relations employee from Australia who offered to send out a replacement unit.
This isn’t the first time I’ve been left in awe amazement by Apple’s customer support. I’ve had trouble with a [...]

Lustworthy: Canon’s New 200mm f/2 IS

I just read the news of Canon’s latest two super telephoto lenses, the EF 200mm f/2L IS USM and the EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM. Both lenses will be shown off by Canon at PhotoPlus Expo from October 18 to 20.
I’ve been watching in the past few weeks as the old discontinued Canon EF 200 [...]

Perfectly Executed: The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store

The recently introduced iTunes Wi-Fi Store is something I’ve been waiting on for a long time. In the past I’d heard people talking about how they’d love to be able to purchase music directly on their iPod over Wi-Fi – now they can with the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
I must say, this is one of [...]

Review: Elgato eyeTV Hybrid

If you’re a frequent TV watcher and enjoy spending time on your Mac, why not combine two “hobbies” into one with the eyeTV Hybrid, a simple device which plugs into a free USB port on your Mac allowing you to watch, pause, and record live TV.
Included in the box is a remote control to operate [...]

Frequent Commenter? Rewards Aplenty

After looking at some stats this morning and seeing there have been 5,600 comments made over the 313 posts I’ve pressed the publish button to, I decided it’s time to give back to the loyal reader who are posting their thoughts on each entry I press the publish button to.
As this month has just started, [...]

Limitations On iPod Touch Data Input

One major disappointment I didn’t cover in much detail in yesterdays iPod touch review is the restriction on regions of data input. With the iPhone, you have the ability to take notes, add contacts, write emails, browse the web, and add calendar events – with the iPod touch, you’re restricted to just browsing the web [...]

Review Of iPod Touch On Macguide

I’ve just finished polishing up my 1500 word review on the new 16GB iPod touch for Macguide. I’ve been really impressed with the iPod to date, it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite Apple products. The user interface is one of the best features of the iPod touch, it makes searching for and browsing through [...]
