Have You Ever Been In Love?

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Apple, Hardware and Gadget Features, Mac, Mobility, Notebooks

Have you ever been in love? I have. And the moment I stepped out of that room, I felt so giddy, and there was a silly grin on my face, and all I could blabber was, “Have you ever been in love?” I walked through the streets in a daze, and I knew that I was virtually afloat, because I know have found my match.

Lessons We Can Learn from Steve Jobs

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Apple, Mac

Before I go on to the meat of my story, Lessons We Can Learn from Steve Jobs, I’d like to share something funny that I found as I was sifting through fodder for this article: According to this ZDNet article, one of the bullet points of the How to Design a Great User Experience manual for Windows Vista Developers says:

“Don’t be annoying.”

And I like Jason D. O'Grady & David Morgenstern’s retort even better:

"What OS are these guys using again?"

:D Okay, enough fanboy/fangurl humor, on to the heart of the matter.

Apple Inc: Style Borne of Vision

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Apple, Mac

When it comes to gadgets and products, Apple seems to be synonymous with “sleek” and “stylish.” In fact, Apple Inc.’s products had become so synonymous with style that everything from the iPod to the Macbook Pro to even the Mac Pro, had become a status symbol in itself.

Simple Accounting for the… Simple. :p

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Mac, Software

I had always abhorred spreadsheet software; more so basic accounting. But it was not until I had started to live a life of my own did I realize that there is a reason why accounting is a cornerstone in the corporate world. Yet even though I needed to account for my budget, payments schedules, and all that dizzying “adult stuff.” I never, ever, ever could take to Microsoft Excel. Not even OpenOffice Calc could make me feel better about blank cells that would need for me to figure out how to make them tally up my entries.

Online Work Makes One Platform Agnostic

Posted by J. Angelo as Computers, Editorial, Linux, Mac, Windows

As I write this, I'm running Windows on my laptop, here at the dinner table. It's been almost a year since I worked on Windows, meaning actually running it for a few hours and doing real work with it. With my computers usually running some flavor of Linux or Mac OS X, Windows has mostly only been run only in those rare instances I need to run Windows-specific software. My most recent acquisitions, being an Asus Eee (running on Linux) and a Mac desktop, have brought me farther away from Windows, I was almost tempted to wipe it out from my laptop. And yet here I am. I've booted up good ol' Windows XP because my wife wanted to ...

Posted by Jim as Apple, Mac

Oh my, the koolaid gang has struck again. Today, the Apple online store has put out the famous "we'll be back soon" graphic which beckons something up Steve Job's sleeve. Popular mac "hint/rumor" sites macrumor.com, mactactic.com & geeksugar.com is getting very excited. There is a rumor that Apple will announce new and improved Macbook pros today! Gizmodo.com is bold to show a new model of Macbook Pro (MBP) that will generally let the Macbook Air (MBA) early adopters pull their hairs off!

The Gimp: My Image Editor of Choice

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Linux, Mac, Software, Windows

I had been doing a lot of twitter account setups because I wanted to have twitter accounts dedicated to the many blogs I’ve put up for AdSense monetization. So since when I was setting up my DummyGeekGurl twitter account, I had reached saturation point for tweaking the design, plus, I wanted the wallpaper background kick-butt in a big way, I decided to put off tweaking the design. That, and I was pretty sick over the past few days, only to find out that I may really have diabetes (type 2) now. But last night, I felt okay enough to make this kick-butt (in my own not-so-humble opinion) wallpaper for my DummyGeekGurl Twitter.

Of Security Updates and Laptop-naming :p

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Mac, Random Thoughts, Software

Just recently (I think around mid-December), I had updated Sayuri’s firmware. I had griped about it last December 11, and I was really, as in REALLY dissatisfied with it. But days later, Apple pushed a Security Update on me, so I bit the bait and got it. I noticed Sayuri seemed faster and could now handle more apps, as opposed to the post-firmware-update fiasco. Which really made me happy, and I believe, it made Sayuri happy too. :) Now all I need to do is to buy that power cord for my external drive so I can free up Sayuri’s fast-clogging hard drive. :(
