iPad competition runs Flash
Amid all the noise over no Flash on the iPad or iPhone, along comes OpenTablet 7. It does everything the iPad does not.
The terrible reasons why the iPad will fail
For the next few months we will have to put up with the age old argument of Mac vs. Windows. The argument is the same, only the name has changed. Will iPad succeed or fail?
What’s missing from Apple’s new iPad
Apple’s iPad is basically an iPod touch (or iPhone) with a bigger screen, updated software capability to match the larger form factor, but the device is missing a number of must-have-for-the-future features.
Tired of iMovie? Try PulpMotion
Who among the maddening crowd of Mac users does not use something in iLife? iTunes? Yep. iPhoto? Sure. iMovie? Naturally. iTunes alternatives don’t do as much. iPhoto alternatives usually cost money. Are there iMovie alternatives? After all, iMovie is drag and drop, comes with themes and transitions. What if you want more?
Compared: Google Nexus One vs. iPhone 3GS
Competition is a good thing for buyers. Google’s Nexus One smart phone is good competition for Apple’s iPhone. How does the Nexus One stack up to Apple’s past iPhone efforts?
Apple puts real magic in your hand (or, under it)
I’m pretty sure that my Macs are completely Microsoft free. No Windows, of course. The last vestige of Redmondian Corruption was Microsoft Office for Mac, ditched last year. Prior to that I managed to kick the Microsoft Mouse habit and learn to live and love Apple’s Mighty Mouse. I wasn’t counting but it seemed like it took Apple 20 years to admit that a two-button mouse was a good thing. Mighty Mouse I liked. But I found something even better. Something so good it’s easy to say there’s magic inside.
Why your Mac needs a security blanket
To hear anti-virus software makers tell it, every Mac connected to the internet is a disaster waiting to happen. We read headlines that Macs have viruses, that Windows 7 is more secure, that Macs are vulnerable, and it’s only a matter of time before the smug Mac community faces reality. What’s the reality? According to Kaspersky, Mac users must buy their security blanket software to remain safe. Really?
iTunes locks in Apple customers
With Apple’s products, software or hardware, change is the game. The company constantly pushes forward, pruning the old, grafting the new. I am more intrigued by critical analysis of what works and doesn’t, what’s improved and what isn’t, than ever before. For example, take the phrase, “iTunes locks in Apple customers.” True? Or, not? Good, or bad?
