All in Apple
One of the things I love about Macs are they they are low maintenance. You just have to do some basic clean-up to keep them running like you took it out of the box. There are a handful of apps -- some popular, some not -- that help you with taking care of such chores. One of them is Mackeeper.
The program is really easy to use and has a Mac-like interface. It cleans out the unnecessary data that your Mac might store and really does a good job in tidying up things like old binaries, cache, duplicate files, unnecessary stuff from language packages, data logs and old files.
I have been racking my brain on how to get my hands on the 720p video that the iPhone 4 shoots. Other than connecting the device to your pc or Mac and importing it with the help of aperture, lightroom or iPhoto, I've yet to find a solution that allows me to upload 720p directly to the web.
I've tried the direct to YouTube route via the camera roll; emailing to YouTube; MMS to YouTube and Vimeo; MMS to Vimeo; and, he PicPosterous app.
I got zippo. Nada. Neite. Nothing.
I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get my hands on the iPhone 4 one day before it was released to the public. Activation went fine and all is well in my tech world these days. After having the device for almost 24 hours, I wanted to share some iniital thoughts and pose some questions.
I'm all caught up in the iPad mess. Like Pookie, it be callin' me and callin' me. The hype got me thinking about my entre in the world of Apple and expansion plans.
My first Apple purchase as the second generation iPod, which was roughly in 2005, just a short five years ago. That purchase did me well up until the first generaion iPod Touch was released. I got that within the first week of it's launch.
The iPod touch purchase held me at bay for quite some time. I even avoided getting the first generation iPhone mostly because I was on Verizonwireless at the time.
The iPad a cometh, the iPad a cometh!
