Why All the Apple Hate?
Soundly I can comprehend that the nature of our human race amuse the fact of others’ failures; but for some unknown reasoning I am perplexed by all the sudden Apple hate and mockery amiss! Does the iPad really pose that huge of a threat? Maybe, if others weren’t as timid to just dive into the world of unknown, just maybe, then they too could appreciate Apple’s success, wonders, and innovations!
I won’t start the whole debacle of which tech company is better, but I can attest that for the Apple users we DO know the power of their machines and there is nothing comparable to Apple’s amazing prowess

The Choices of Life
I must admit I’ve been sinfully jealous of my babes brand new iMac; that computer can and does put mine to shame. I want one, but I’m wanting the 24″ model so I have the option of the Nvidia 512MB video beast card. Should i just get the 20″ with the 256MB video card with 4GB Ram?
It’s just soooo hard to make a choice… I ‘m sure no matter what I choose, I’ll be happy because it will be a new Apple!
Surprise for My Sweetheart
Posted by TJ in All in Love, Apple, Freaky on 05/29/2008
Well, life has been very well for me and my love! We’ve both keep grinding at work and she is now enrolled into Summer semester. So, something we have been contemplating was purchasing another computer for several reasons…
- Schooling
- Gaming (WoW)
- Her own expensive toy… (justifiable?)
Shortly told, I walk into Bestbuy to possibly buy a printer to replace the crap one I decided on from Wal-Mart, lo and behold, glaring at me like a sweet angel was the brand new iMac 24″ all set-up and being so Macilicious! I nonchalantly inquire if they now sell Apple products. The associate, whom looked like a geek from the year 2020, almost blew me off in the sense that I wasn’t prepared to make such a purchase; little did he know. So, after asking a few questions I asked if they would match Apple’s education discount on a specific model. As that associate disappeared and I snagged another one, whom seemed much more friendlier, thank you Steve, he confirmed they would match the discount. So, I said, “let’s get it”!
All this took place roughly about 15 minutes before I was scheduled to work. I took the new iMac to my job and set it in the back-room. I the followed up by sending a text message to my sweetheart with a curious yet dominate message: “I picked up this amazing surprise for you babe, stop by my job if you are remotely interested…”
Of course being a woman and loving surprises she stopped by… Her facial expression was priceless when I asked her to close her eyes so I can go grab it… I feel moments like this are what build love, and no I don’t mean buying lavish gifts, but the moments of sheer emotion and impulse!
I love you Erin.
Dreaming of an iPhone
iPhone, just stating the phrase brings a gleeful aurora of “YEA” to my thoughts. I seriously am anticipating the day my contract with Helio is completed so that I can awesomely switch to AT&T’s network and purchase the glorious iPhone. Every time I am at work and a customer is fiddling with an iPhone I get all giddy inside and just want to shout with joy!
One day Apple… one day!
Disco BETA
After a wait that some may have sincerely gone insane over, the new, amazing, and burning sensation software, dubbed Disco, is out.
Read on for an impression along with detailed information of this wonderful new application!
Software Secrecy – Disco
Ya know it is like being a little kid awaiting for something new to reveal in the open… just knowing it’s coming, yet not precisely knowing what to expect! Well that is the case now folks: Disco – MacZOT is burning up the floor with some hot marketing moves to get your drooling mechanisms working anew. This developer has shown some outstanding work previously with AppZapper; so one can only imagine where this new project might take us… I for one am on board and gun-ho to see what it is!
Well… regardless if you use it or not could you really go wrong with a sexy offer for software for only a mere $4.95!!!! Not to mention it’s from a extremely reputable developer that has proved quality assurance in the past.
Tick… Tock… the clock counts down to what this Disco is and we will find out if it can dance.
(Apple needs to take notes from this bright mind, or better yet sign him up for the Apple team!)
Oral Presentation and Microsoft’s Powerpoint
Like whoa… on another level.
Yea, that about sums up my entire experience so far with constructing and planning out this oral presentation for my sweetheart. I always had a slight and curious interest in creating a Powerpoint presentation, but was never actually given the project to do so. Well kiddies… the time is now! So brace for some serious learning and hiccups along the way. I initially was all gun-hoed because I was using the elegantly styled Apple Keynote; no such luck though, for some crud reason even though it would export to .pot format darn MS Powerpoint just wouldn’t keep all the proper formatting, simple layout structure, sleek Apple transitions, or nothing! It was aggravating and very distressing. So lo and behold, I opened up the monster itself, Powerpoint. Though it seems to have all the options it just seems too much dammit. It’s Microssoft’s true to form cluttered messes and over complex interfaces. It’s driving me nuts really. I sincerely can see why Microsoft has MCSE and all other types of proper certification for their applications and system operating systems… a Master’s degree, nothing short of, to conquer the zen of Microsoft.
I will succeed and I will overcome this entire project with a smile.

HoudahSpot – BlogZOT
Simple thoughts on HoudahSpot from MacZOT.com:
At first glance this application seems as if it could be extremely powerful over Spotlight’s basic usage; which a lot of power users would be very happy with to have. Now my first drawback is the interface it seems clunky and OS9 styled. Though it it’s clean it need to be more streamlined and organized. Also I’d definitely appreciate am option to replace Spotlight’s system icon so that there is not two instances in the menu bar; assumably one will not be using both interfaces…
Other than those two facets I believe this could make a permanent home in my arsenal of tools, for a better method of searching my personal files. Keep up the great start and shine with a new interface and look!
NOTE: If you’re seeing this on June 16, 2006 head over to MacZOT, you might be able to get a Free copy of HoudahSpot!

New Cocktail 3.7.2??
Update claims it addresses Apple OS X 10.4.7 compatibility issues. No official word on 10.4.7 released yet? Well it’s not in Apple’s Software Update yet… think it’ll hit release later today?
***UPDATED***
Might want to be careful with this update! I installed it and it oddly asked for my serial to re-register the program; now this wouldn’t be an issue being that I have a paid serial number, the kicker is it tells me my serial number is invalid!
I emailed the developer in hopes of a fix real soon…
***UPDATED***
Developer quickly responded with what was the issue and simply corrected it. Seems to be that somehow an algorithm was released that allowed for several serial numbers to be cracked, needless to say one of them just happened to be mine.
CSS Tweak Dashboard Widget
Ran across this very nifty widget surfing the net’! Haven’t tried it yet due to lack of projects, but could be very useful. Hopefully it stays updated and simple to use.
