You can pre order Apple iPad now

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:26:43 +0000

Apple is taking pre orders for the iPad now. Make sure you buy your iPad from amazon when they have them, that way I make money from the affiliate link. I’m not pre ordering the iPad. If I buy it, it won’t be until June or later. Related posts:Apple iPad Fuck you Apple Apple store back up Related posts:

After searching the internet for a way to prevent picasa from opening when I connect an iPod, I found out about Image Capture, which comes with Snow Leopard, had no idea I even had that program, thanks Apple for telling me.

It isn’t playable on my mac mini with intel GMA 950 video, I read that it will work with windows with that video card though. I got the game in the macheist nano bundle.

Carbon Copy Cloner

Carbon Copy Cloner is an excellent program if you want to backup something on an external drive to another external drive, at least for me. I put all my pictures on an external hard drive, and then have Carbon Copy Cloner, scheduled to copy the folder to the other drive. It only copies stuff that [...] Related posts:

Hostgator CEO bought A Small Orange

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:54:07 +0000

Guess it isn’t so bad since the CEO bought my host A Small Orange, I saw it on their forum. A Small Orange will remain separate, won’t be a clone or anything, which is good news… Cause hostgator is like godaddy or one of the others that oversells. Unlimited space currently doesn’t exist. ASO will not [...] Related posts:

Magic Mouse

The Apple Magic Mouse, would have to be the best mouse I’ve ever bought. Thought I would have to get use to it, but it’s pretty easy to use. Magicprefs lets you make the tracking speed faster then what the built in mouse preferences lets you make it. It doesn’t work on glass, neither did [...] Related posts:

Yup it’s true the MacBook will get updated with a blazing fast intel atom processor, it should be shipping sometime next week. You can view the benchmark of it here. It got a pretty impressive 990, I assume lower numbers are better, so it did better then my mac mini that got 2542. As you [...] Related posts:

You can view your data usage at http://customer.comcast.com, just like the email says. My router running dd-wrt tells me [...] Related posts:

Nexus One is real

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:54:05 +0000

Looks like google released the Nexus One today. It’s only $529 unlocked or $179 with a two year contract. I got a new phone not to long ago, and it was only 200 bucks with a 50 dollar rebate. Seeing as I barely use it, I probably won’t spend $529 on a phone. Related posts:Ordered Nokia [...] Related posts:

Google Chrome isn’t faster on mac

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:14:29 +0000

Google is a moron false advertising their crippled Chrome on mac. They need to fix ad so it says “A slower way to browse the web.”, that way people don’t accidentally install it. You can fix it yourself, click Develop in safari, then the web inspector, then search for faster, and replace with slower. Only [...] Related posts:

Got my OTTERBOX Defender Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G today from amazon.

It is installing the trial, said I’ll [...] Related posts:
