MobileMe Wiped My Contacts
July 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment
This afternoon on my MacBook Pro, Mail and Safari were acting screwy. Safari would give me a beach ball when I tried to fill out a form on Amazon and Mail would give me a beach ball when it did an address look up when I typed someone’s name in the To: field. I tried [...]
Accessing the Menu Bar in OS X
June 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Someone told me once that they didn’t like using a Mac because it doesn’t have enough keyboard shortcuts built in. For example, how do you access the menu bar without using your mouse? On Windows, you use the alt key to access any menu item. In OS X, you just need to turn on full [...]

Daniel challenges you to spend a month using OS X exclusively and see if it’s not much better than Windows. Too bad there isn’t a try-and-buy program to let people actually do this without risking any money. Absent of that, we are left to testimonials by current owners (fanboys) and marketing.

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments
John Lilly, Mozilla CEO, complained about the clandestine Safari 3.1 install for Windows users. I think most users with half a brain will know if they have Safari or not and if they don’t want it, they can deselect the check box. Whatever your opinion, I think that is beside the point really. I think [...]

Macs Do Need to Worry about Viruses
August 15th, 2007 · 5 Comments
I spoke to a network admin recently that runs a Mac network for a small architecture firm. Over the years, they have accumulated a good collection of Windows macro viruses in docs stored on his network. Since they weren’t affected by these viruses, they never bothered to clean them up. It is coming home to [...]

February 28th, 2007 · 12 Comments
I do alot of conference calls with vendors and customers. Every vendor uses a different service, but most are WebEx, Citrix (gotomeeting or gotowebinar), Raindance or Readytalk. I recently switched to a Mac (I love it by the way…I’ll post on that someday). All of the above web demo services have worked great accept for [...]
