Snow Leopard… not snowy yet!
Between a friend and I we ordered the 5 license family pack Apple’s new operating system OSX also known as Snow Leopard. Unfortunately Amazon informed me just 24 hours before dispatch that they did not receive the stock in time for delivery. That sucked, but it does give me time to read a bit more about it, and make sure all my backups are up to speed.
Engadget.com does a detailed review. Over all they do give it a positive review. None of the reviews I have read have noted a massive boost in speed as we all expect but such is the love for the brand that I don’t think many will consider that an unforgivable issue at this stage.
I’m looking forward to getting in (hopefully) a few days time, I’ll post my opinions soon.

http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/445303 Since I upgraded my processors over year ago I’ve often wondered what the full abilities of my Mac Pro was in a 64bit test.

Why DropBox is every photographer’s friend.
about 8 months ago - No comments
I do intend to write a blog about all the software tools I use to make my job a little easier, but for now I want to talk about a little utility I use daily called Dropbox. Dropbox is probably the best file synchronisation and ‘cloud’ manager there is. I can work on any file…
Sold my awesome 2007 iMac 24″
about 11 months ago - No comments
It’s crunch time for everybody because of the recession. I looked at my equipment which was surplus and unfortunately it was my iMac that was on the list. I already have enough Apple products to start my own Apple Store so even though I was sad to see it go it did go to a…
Why is it professionals still don’t backup/archive regularly?
about 1 year ago - No comments
It is shocking how many people still do not have a computer backup system in place. Fair enough, when it comes to complaincency I’m terrible at business administration (my filing is way behind), but in my mind backing up critical files is something that cannot be delayed. If you are a Windows user, Microsoft has…

David Hockney is a renowned British artist. Even though his work has been on traditionally been on print and canvases he has embraced technology to drawn and display his images at a gallery in Paris using Apple iPads. I think this is awesome; it is the sign of the times. However, I do think this…

Just a quick post to tell you about a game I’ve installed on my iPad for ages but only recently rediscovered. Pocket Legends can best described as World of Warcraft for Apple devices. The control system is very simple, it’s just point to a space in the environment and your character will move. Combat is…
iPad for Professional Photographers

My friends call it the iFad (ho ho), but to me it has become a tool that I use more often then my other Apple computers with the exception of the iPhone. There are limitations to the iPad without doubt but then there are limitations of every product I have; no one questions if the…

Let the battle between Amazon Kindle and Apple’s iPad commence. Good advert, but I think the woman comes across as a bit snooty.
