How to cheat the single monitor limit on a Spyder2express monitor calibrator on OS X
In: Technology
31 Jan 2010When I purchased the Spyder2express, I managed to miss that it didn’t work with multiple monitors. At the time I was only calibrating an iMac so it didn’t really matter, but when I upgraded, I resigned to only calibrate the main monitor. Recently I came across this little trick to easily calibrate multiple monitors [...]
The Truth About Geniuses, Viruses and Good Marketing
In: Technology
13 May 2009If you have seen Apple’s recent crop of ads to counter Microsoft’s Laptop Hunter Ads, you will find two themes: Apple Genius’ are amazing at technical support, and Windows computers just don’t operate without crashing and constantly catch viruses. Of course these are just marketing gimmicks, just like the Laptop Hunter ads were also, but [...]

Is Windows 7 Aero Peek a copy of Apple Expose?
In: Technology
11 Jan 2009A few of my Mac centric friends saw my blog post on Windows 7 and said that Aero Peek ripped off Apple’s Expose. Let’s make this clear, I have 3 Macs running OS X Leopard, I use them all of them time, and I think that makes me pretty credible to judge Mac OS X [...]

First let me say that I am a Microsoft employee and this post is pure opinion and not an official position of my employer. That being said, reading my morning dose of feeds I have already came across nearly a dozen articles whining that Windows 7 looks just like Windows Vista.
Not to go directly at [...]

I would venture to say that given this site’s general topic of OS Agnostic computing, I know more than most the arguments for and against these two titan operating systems. The arguments against Vista are legendary. I have made no secret of the fact that I started carrying a Macbook Pro in September of last [...]
iPhoto hackery…kind of (How to change the default iPhoto Library location…)
In: Technology
18 May 2008It’s my hard drive space, the gigantic half terabyte I added to my iMac. I use it for audio files, but there is plenty of space for a little dual purpose. I got a new camera last week and I decided to use my iMac as my “photo work” machine. That being said, instead of [...]

HTC Mogul as an Internet Connection
In: Random
5 Feb 2008I recently got the HTC Mogul phone and service from Sprint. I had been using it sporadically as a network device via Bluetooth on the Macbook Pro in OS X 10.5 Leopard but had not tried it tethered in Windows Vista Ultimate in Bootcamp. I decided to try it USB so I wasn’t marrying the [...]

Just have to say, if this is the Macbook Air, I AM IN!
In: Technology
15 Jan 2008 I sure love my Macbook Pro, but a little known secret was that I really wanted the smaller Macbook. Given the difference in power and capability, I went with the Macbook Pro. Mostly for the Expresser slot for my cell modem and better video.
I have been pondering a purchase of an iMac for awhile [...]
