Apple Hi-Fi - Good or bad?

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

I like things Apple. Their laptops are gorgeous, and their all in one imac is pretty nifty. The nano and ipod are lessons in simplicity and functionality (though I have a few issues with them). However, with the release of the Hi-Fi, basically a big white speaker to which the ipod plugs in. […]

The first virus (updated)

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Eventually, it happened. All the Windows users can finally seat back and relax: today a virus for Mac OS X 10.4 (the latest operating system) appeared.

One More Thing…

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

…so to say, I almost forgot… these are the words everyone was expecting yesterday at SF’s MacWorld. And Steve Jobs, Apple CEO did it.
The Intel processors are reality, dual-cores under the hood of the iMac and the MacBook Pro (any better name??).
After the fireworks, what’s your opinion about it? I think, and I’m not alone, […]

A New Kind Of Apples

Friday, June 10th, 2005

The 6th of June 2005 will become part of the history. Not because I turned 30, but because in the IT world something BIG happened.
Apple switched to Intel processors and to their x86 architecture.
Steve Jobs dropped the bomb and didn’t give many explanations, leaving mac users panicking in all the forums. Resuming, few days later…

Panic…

Monday, November 15th, 2004

Oh Gosh! No! NO!
Stay calm and breath deeply: Audion is gone. Eventually it’s free.
What the **** I’m talking about? Audion, alternative (and precursive) Panic application to listen mp3/cds on your mac, will not be updated anymore. Now it’s free, but the project has been “retired”.
Then what? Well, first, maybe you want to try it out… […]

Now that is getting colder and that when you go to work in the morning your eyes can’t break through the fog… now that the ice starts covering your mustaches and you can’t feel your hands anymore, even inside your gloves…
That’s the moment to take care of what you love.
That’s the moment to keep your […]
