In apple Computers Mac OS X Windows

Tool of Trade - Macbook Air or Sony Vaio

It was told in the Harry Potter movie that every wizard is destined to a specific type of wand and if found, great things can be expected from the partnership. Analogously, each one of us is a wizard and our laptop is our wand with which we create our own worlds, our own magic and hence, it is important that we choose the perfect machine tailored for our needs.

Most of us, regardless of profession, computer is our main tool of trade. I have tried a number of laptops but my macbook was the most efficient. It does not do extra fancy stuff but it just works. Of course i cannot just turn my back on my desktop as it performs my other computing activities like downloading gigabytes of files overnight, playing games (apple has just a handful of premium games), and for typing pages of document as we obviously type much faster when using a full-size keyboard.. Just a few days ago, my 6-year-old macbook failed to switch on. I ripped it apart to check its internal organs only to find out that the logic board is dying. Instead of bringing it back to life, i decided to lay it to rest for good.

A computer-less computer engineer - that's what i am now.. but not for long i hope. I am torn between getting a sony vaio or an apple macbook air. If we are in the same situation or just wanting to buy a new laptop but can't decide which to get, visit the reviews. Check the features if it is capable of delivering what you expect of a laptop. If you're a gamer or a graphics/video editor, and you require speed and power, get a monster laptop but expect to shell out some extra moolah. 

If you want it sleek, sexy and portable machine that just amazingly works, get a macbook air but you have to compromise on a few extra features. The choice is yours. Pick your perfect tool of trade, you magic wand.

In apple iphone ipod itunes 8 Mac OS X

Itunes 8.0 is already out!

Apple announces that the next major version of iTunes will be available for download sometime today. iTunes 8 is not jam-packed with new functionality, but the new Genius feature—which boasts smart, automatic playlist creation—has us madly refreshing the iTunes download page. Let's take a closer look at what you can expect from the new iTunes and how it can improve your digital music experience.
 

The most significant new feature is the new Genius Playlists, a feature that promises to create great playlists for you based on the music in your library. You choose a song, tell iTunes you want it to create a Genius Playlist from that song, and it takes care of the rest. The Genius feature works by analyzing the music in your library and suggesting songs that it thinks will go well with that song.

The second new feature is Grid View, an iPhoto-like way to browse your music library by albums. The Grid view looks a lot like an iPhoto layout, and it provides a way to browse your music library by album without the need to switch to the full-on, graphics-intense Cover Flow.

It's not a lot, but the new Genius feature will hopefully bring a new dimension to your listening habits, helping you re-discover music you already have and possibly discover new music that you don't. You can download Itunes 8.0 here. Let's hear what you think of the new iTunes in the comments.

In Leopard Mac OS X Themes Vista Windows

How to Dress up Vista to Exactly Appear as Mac OS X

If you're using Windows XP but with a serious Mac crush, you must have liked FlyakiteOSX to make your desktop appear and work like, a Mac. I installed FlyakiteOSX in our office desktop computer and it really turned windows XP into Mac OS X.

Now, Vista users—even those upgraded to Service Pack 1—have Vista OS X Ver.4 for a similar OS paint job. The installer requires that you disable the User Account Control to properly install the Vista OS X. You'll get screensavers, wallpapers, a "Dock," and more goodies, all accessible from the basic "Themes" menu. Don't worry about not liking it because the theme completely uninstalls itself when you're ready to move back to Windows; I haven't tried it myself, so let me know your experiences in the comments. Vista OS X is a free download for Windows Vista systems only. You can download Vista OS X here or here or here or here.
