Several months ago I picked up a new machine, a MacBook, from which the bast majority of these blog posts have flowed. I absolutely love my MacBook and I can see myself becoming a regular Mac user with future computer purchases. That said, for about the past 15 years, I’ve been a devout Windows […]
Here’s a quick tip that will be a bit un-intuitive at first for those of you converting to Windows, but makes life much easier once you get used to it.
If you have a file that isn’t automatically associated with a particular program, or you want to open it with a different app than usual, […]
I just found an application called Flip4Mac which allows you to listen to or watch Windows Media streaming feeds in Firefox on your Mac!

Most modern laptops (including all […]

Well its been a few days now using the new MacBook, and this is the first Blog post using said MacBook. As I mentioned in the last post, the look and feel of OS X is unbelievably polished. The transitions between windows, screen savers and other views (like Front Row) are seamless […]
Well the beast finally arrived! I’d like to think it was my scathing review of Apple’s customer service from earlier this month, but I highly doubt that Steve Jobs is an avid reader.
