1. It’s the end of the financial year, and that means tax return time! 2. E3. I’m expecting to discover the release date of Gran Turismo 5, the game that tipped me over the edge to buy a PS3 over an Xbox 360. 3. WWDC. With luck, we’ll be told the release date of the [...]

Spending more money
Posted in Macs on November 15, 2008 | Comments Off
Hurray! I just realised that my larger external hard drive enclosure takes a SATA drive, so I can use the existing 500Gb drive to replace the 250Gb drive in my iMac, then install a new 1.5Tb external drive for backup. Why do I need more space? Simple – I just installed the entire Logic Studio [...]
No logic

I just found out today that the $250 upgrade to Logic Studio that I was planning on buying no longer exists. I’d have to buy the entire set again for $650, with no discount for previously spending $1500 on Logic Pro 7. Strangely, because I upgraded from Logic Express 7 to Logic Pro 7, I [...]

They portrayed the PC as confused and out of touch. So, Microsoft release a couple of aimless, [...]

Today I made my final payment on my Macbook Pro. Hurray for stuff! Of course, I won’t be buying a thing until late October when LittleBigPlanet comes out, due to the expense of the Vibiemme. Well, I guess I can afford a tamper, right..? …apparently I can!

A Time Capsule is an Apple product that combines an 802.11n router and print server with a large hard drive suitable for network storage or (for Macs running Leopard) automatic backup. The backup runs about as well as [...]

Seriously, Apple. What. The. FUCK.
Don't harsh my mellow

Tomorrow is the Macworld keynote, where The Steve tells us all what we’ll be buying this year. I have a tradition. On this day I turn off my IM client, ignore my tweets and refuse to visit any Mac-related sites. Then, when I get home in the evening, I start watching the keynote speech and [...]

Make a mosaic, automatically. Use source images from Flickr, Google and a bunch of other sources. And it’s free.
