Getting my new iMac setup was a breeze. I had it restore using my TimeMachine backup from my MacBook. It did take a couple of hours to restore from backup, but every thing just works, and it took much less time then installing all my software. First impressions are that this machine is much faster [...]
My primary system has been getting flakey lately. The SuperDrive stoped working, the trackpad also stopped working, forcing me to use a mouse. Since I make my living off my computer, I had to replace the system before it stopped completely. I knew that I could not afford a new MacBook Pro, so I started [...]
I Moved from FireFox to Google Chrome as my default browser as soon as plug-ins became available on Google Chrome. I tend to only use plug-ins that enhance productivity in web development, but those same plugins seem to slow FireFox to a crawl. I just checked and these are the Google Chrome Plug-ins that I [...]
OK, it’s time to do the first update on my iPad…. While this always makes me a bit nervous, There does not appear to be any huge changes in this update, so with luck all will continue to be well on the iPad front. From the apple site… This iOS software update for iPad contains [...]
The new iOS 4.0.1 was released today that is supposed to address the “bar issue” where signal would seem to drop more dramatically then reality suggests when covering the external antenna.

I suppose this was to be expected, given the browser’s beta status, but after the dramatic improvements that Firefox went through going from Version 3.0 to 3.5 and 3.6, the jump to 4.0 seems almost anti-climactic. via Manila [...]
From the Gmail Blog: “Rich text signatures have long been one of our most widely requested features. Some of you have tried your own solutions, including Greasemonkey scripts, browser plugins, and even using canned responses from Gmail Labs. Others have simply lived with frustration of not being able to change the colors or font size of your [...]
The upgrade went pretty smoothly. It took about 30 minutes and I have yet to see any real problems aside from the Google Sync issue that has beed bandied about on twitter...
Apple released an update to iTunes today adding some new iOS4 specific features, some of which I am looking forward to on my iPad.

I knew that eventually Adobe would have to address long standing issues with Flash player on Mac. Combined with the latest security issues Adobe needed to regain some cred… So here is the new Flash Player 10.1 we have yet to see if it addresses the instability issues that have plagued the MAC platform for [...]
I was very amused when the quicktime video crashed my quicktime plugin the first time I loaded the page. Once I recovered from the bit of comic relief, Dan and I came to the conclusion that Apple is still on target, and "They have a nice, smooth annual flow going here"

I have been using a V740 ExpressCard” as my backup network for work for a few years now with no problems. So after hearing about the MiFi2200 mobile hotspot, the wheels started turning. Then I saw it in action with my friend Dan Shafer. Dan was using it with his iPad and the final connection [...]
