The new version of the Mozilla Sunbird, the iCal equivalent from the folks that brought us Firefox and Thunderbird.

In my ten-minute review I may have mistakenly compared Pages to Word. I have since been informed that it is actually very similar to Microsoft Publisher which is one of a whole sea of Windows applications I haven’t used or heard of so I can’t base any of my comparisons on it. I can only compare this product to other products I am familiar with such as Word and PageMaker.

Pages is part of the new iWork software suite from Apple. I am not really sure how well this bundle works since Pages will appeal to a broader consumer audience while Keynote is something that would be more popular among business professionals and college professors or anyone else who use PowerPoint on a regular basis. Of the two Pages is much more interesting to me so I would have rather been able to pay half of the iWork price just for it since I have never needed or even used Keynote except to just try it out. Pages on the other hand is an application that I can see myself using on a regular basis.

I noticed Scott over at TUAW talking about TextWrangler 2.0 and wanted to also to give some praise for TextWrangler 2.0, recently released as freeware by the fine people at Bare Bones Software. I’d been a user of BBEdit Lite, which was Bare Bones’s free text editor, for a number of years and had noticed [...]

Back when I was in high school, I worked at Best Buy for about 6 months. (Of course I was selling computers!) Yeah, that was a fun time…trust me when I say, no one knows anything there.
But I digress. I mention this job because we tried selling BB’s protection plans (warranties) for [...]

As mentioned previously here on The Apple Blog, some people had been experiencing speed issues and other things with iPhoto ‘05.
Well Apple released iPhoto 5.0.1 in Software Update.
I couldn’t verify personally because my Powerbook is at AppleCare for a screen replacement, but the good people at macosx.com forums posted it. (I’d had [...]

Following the release of newly upgraded Powerbook G4’s, I feel it’s time to do a little soul-searching on the topic of the G5 processor in Apple’s Powerbook line. There are so many things that Apple has to contend with (way to go, to The Apple Blog’s Chris Holland for being quoted) before [...]

I recently acquired the Spire Endo messenger bag. I decided on the Endo after looking around for quite a while at many different laptop cases. It was Nick who eventually convinced me to choose the Endo. Being a student, I will be looking at the Endo from a students point of view. Lets begin, shall [...]

I have a haunting feeling that I’m not the only one who has neglected the power and ease-of-use that Apple offers in their OS X based iCal and Address Book. I use them very simply (at best) and every time I open one to do some occasional task I think to myself, [...]

Exactly how shuffled is your shuffle? Does it seem to you that you keep hearing the same songs from the same albums and the same bands over and over, even though you have hundreds of other songs? Well, the good news is that you are not the only one who thinks that their shuffle is [...]

I’m trembling. Cold sweats. I keep wringing my hands. I’m eating and eating and eating (really just cuz this is what I do). I keep pacing and I don’t know what to do! My last hit was only last night, but it already seems like forever.
My Name’s Nick, and I’m [...]
