By Terry White On February 18, 2013 · 1 Comment
I use Twitter quite a bit. I’m happy to have Twitter support now built-in to Mac OS and iOS. Twitter offers a free client for iOS and you can of course use your favorite web browser to access twitter.com or even the official Twitter client on your Mac. With that said I prefer Tweetbot for [...]

Dead Man’s Party

By Jack Beckman On February 6, 2013 · 1 Comment
It’s time to say goodbye to one of my experiments. Both of my off-site disk units seem to have died within a week of each other. You may recall that I purchased a pair of Seagate “GoFlex” drives about a year and a half ago. I wanted a pair of identical drives that I [...]

eReader Magic (Almost)

By Phyllis Evans On February 5, 2013 · 3 Comments
Like many others, I’m hooked on ebooks. Whenever I remember the massive (not to mention heavy) stack of books that I carried in school, I shudder. High school left me with permanent elbow problems from the stress of carrying that load. That was back before backpacks and messenger bags. I used a monster briefcase then. [...]

I record a lot of tutorials using Screenflow on my Mac and I try to keep distracting things out of the picture (tutorial) so that people watching can focus on the content. One of the ways I achieve this is that I’ve created a special User Account in Mac OS X that [...]

Not Fade Away

By Jack Beckman On January 30, 2013 · Add Comment
Not too long ago, I was lamenting about how Siri seemed to be getting worse as the days went by instead of better, as if it were getting less useful the more people interacted with it. Apple kept saying that Siri would get better, with more reliable results, as it got more data [...]

Deja Vu

By Jack Beckman On January 23, 2013 · Add Comment
As an update to last week’s post, it seems the patch Oracle put out took care of the bug it was supposed to, but others are still there, and just as bad as the original. Your system can still be hijacked just by visiting an infected page. However, one of [...]

Google is My Friend

By Phyllis Evans On January 22, 2013 · Add Comment
Recently, I was asked to help a friend update the software on his iMac. He has been holding off moving up to Mountain Lion because there were potential problems with QuickBooks Pro.

Black Coffee In Bed

By Jack Beckman On January 16, 2013 · 2 Comments
By now you’ve probably heard about the latest Java exploit and the government’s recommendation that you disable Java in your browser. You may also have heard that Oracle has released an update to fix the problem. But there’s a fair chance that others will be found. Because of this, [...]

Tax Time is Coming.

By Phyllis Evans On January 15, 2013 · 1 Comment
It’s getting to that time of year again. It’s the time of year when you drag out that shoe box full of receipts, or start digging through desk and dresser drawers for those bank statements, credit card statements… you know the drill. Some of you take all of those bits of paper and just dump [...]

Why I Use Dropbox as My Documents Folder

By Terry White On January 14, 2013 · 9 Comments
I’m a fan of Dropbox.com. I use it daily to sync files and to share files with others. After initially signing up way back when I really liked how well it worked and decided that it was worth paying for. So I opted for the 100GB plan back then. This was also around the time [...]

Solar Keyboard Revisited

By Phyllis Evans On January 8, 2013 · 1 Comment
Fourteen months ago I wrote about the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac. Time for a follow-up. Am I still using it? You bet I am. Am I still happy with it? Well, I haven’t been tempted to replace it, so I guess you could say that I’m [...]
