Ok, so everyone cares, however most are making to big of a deal about it. In reality, consumers don’t have anything to worry about. Apple will be switching to Intel processors in about a year and it is a big change. Big for Apple. However they are commented to it and have already created a […]

OMG it’s true. The Mac Observer is offering live keynote coverage today and Apple is switching to Intel!!! “This has been going on for the last five years.” Every release of OS X has been compiled and run on Intel processors. Steve Jobs is even running an Intel Mac!!!

New Apple Switcher

  • 6 Jun, 2005

I was in BestBuy with my father in law the other day when I pointed out the Mac mini. He was very impressed with it and bought one for his wife for her birthday. Now I am Mac support for a few more people and I love it. Over the weekend I upgraded the OS […]

Labels for Apple’s Mail Application

  • 3 Jun, 2005

Labels in Mail have been something I’ve been missing ever since changing over to Apple’s Mail.app. However, I’ve found out how to create a script that allows me to set the color of (or label) a message. I’ve tested my scripts in Mac 10.3 Panther and 10.4 Tiger and it works great. I prefer how […]

Dark Side Switch Ad

Anakin Skywalker (from Star Wars) has made his very first Switch commercial. It describes why he switched to the Dark Site. This is a funny parody of the Apple Switch ads that ran a while back.

Mail or Thunderbird? [updated]

  • 24 May, 2005

I’m once again questioning what email client is best for work. I love Mail from Apple, however it’s lacking in features. No labels, no smart folders, no priorities, no return receipts. Ok, so if you can’t tell I’m on 10.3 at work and not 10.4. Mac OS 10.4 fixes all those issues except labels. Still […]

Apple’s Views on Bloggers

  • 17 May, 2005

However, if you search for ‘blog’ you get a rather interesting answer. 🙂 blog |bläg| noun a weblog : blogs run by twenty-something Americans with at least an unhealthy interest in […]

Real Web Browser Security

  • 12 May, 2005

No web browser is perfect. Hackers will always find new security holes and opportunities for the media to create press and scare you. What really makes the difference in browser security is the time it takes a company to fix the issues. Within a week of finding out about security related issues in Firefox, the […]

Subscription Music Stores

  • 11 May, 2005

Yahoo just released their music store and it’s the latest in the string of subscription based services. Subscription based services that I just don’t get. Why would you pay a monthly fee to RENT songs? Even Napster states on their homepage “It is necessary to maintain a Napster subscription in order to continue access to […]

TextEdit – Possibly the Best App?

  • 11 May, 2005

What’s the one application I probably can’t live without? Believe it or not, it’s TextEdit! TextEdit is just a basic text program that comes pre-installed with Mac OSX. It use to be called SimpleText back in OS 9 and you may think it’s only a text application, however it’s much much more. TextEdit can read […]
