i tested the capability of iPhone mobile g+ hangouts today. basically what has to happen is that a web hangout needs to start and then the iPhone account can be invited and join.

until the iPhone app can start hangouts on its own, then, the procedure for Mardi Gras will be to have someone start the hangout from someone's computer and then turn ( Read more... )

I've never really taken iDVD very seriously, but for a personal project i'm delving into it a lot more right now. When i first started using the program, i didn't like it that much because i felt like there weren't enough ways to make a DVD feel "unstock". As in, every DVD made from iDVD would look like a DVD made from iDVD.

now that i'm ( Read more... )

i'm waiting for the iPad/iPhone influence to cause a software patch for QWERTY keyboards that makes the [shift] key function in the same way as it does on an iPad/iPhone.

it's kind of a stupid idea, but as far as i'm concerned, so is any sort of iOS concept on a non-iOS machine, which is clearly not stopping Apple from its approach to Lion.

okay iPad promoters. convince me/tell me what the advantages are of an iPad over an iPhone for more than just ease of visibility and use because it's bigger. what can the iPad do that the iPhone can't?

they should come up with some sort of running armband for the iPad.

i'd pay money for that. even though i don't own an iPad. maybe it's more accurate to say that i'd pay for someone else's if they'd let me film them using it.

in a word: ugh.

an entry about it will probably go on resonate at some point since it's been forever since i've written on there. but for now i'll at least say that it's funny to me how all of the tweaks to the current iPhone are things that i like, and the Big New Feature that they're using as a selling point i really really dislike.

i have an interest in changing where i sync my iPhone from my work computer to my home computer.

what exactly does that mean for the information, music, and apps that are stored on my iPhone? what gets lost and what doesn't?

so i just got email notification about Apple's new product, the iPad.

never mind that it's essentially a large version of the iPhone. i don't have much of an opinion about the product itself one way or the other.

But the branding is problematic. iPad looks and sounds too similar to iPod. three out of the four letters are the same, and the ( Read more... )

i just opened up my new mac pro for the first time because i'm putting in another hard drive to diagnose it for work. and at first i was confused. i saw the four hard drive bays, but i didn't see any cables to connect hard drives to the CPU.

so i pulled out one of the hard drives that's in the computer already with its easy-to-pull handle. No ( Read more... )

the new mac pro they just released is actually affordable.

maybe that money i get from working at destrehan will go towards that.
