The iPhone is hands down the most revolutionary device in the world to be ever made. Everyone knows it, and I don’t know one person who doesn’t think that. This post is reflecting on iPhone 2.0. Just for clarification, I DO NOT own an iPhone. I do wish I had an iPhone, so I am going to tell you some things that I want to see in an iPhone before I greatly considering buying an iPhone.

I have been a Mac user for almost a year now and even before I started using a Mac I read a lot of Apple-related magazines, so I wanted to share my top two.
1) Mac|Life:
Mac|Life provides exclusive, authoritative information and advice for readers who want to get the most out of their Macs, iPods, and third-party hardware, software, and services. The magazine also delivers informative feature articles showcasing the latest hardware and software, an expanded “how-to” section, and candid reviews of the latest gear.
The reason I like Mac|Life so much, is because its content that I enjoy, and the ads are actually pretty good. I have tried a lot of software that I found in Mac|Life!
2) Macworld:
Macworld is the leading independent Web site covering the Apple and Mac market. Macworld
provides breaking news, hot tips, in-depth reporting, news analysis, objective product reviews
and lab testing, and compelling features on the latest Mac, iPod, and iPhone technologies.
This award-winning content, combined with Macworld’s popular forums and compelling blogs
and podcasts, makes Macworld the premier site for all things Apple.
Macworld is also a great magazine because its brought by some great people, and its good, quality content, and the columns are interesting.

I have been in the search for the “perfect” audio set-up for about 3 weeks now. I have been looking at mixers, microphones, computers and everything else you need. Although I have come close, I haven’t found the “perfect” set-up. Through this fun hunt, I have found various pieces to the making of this dream set-up. Continue reading »
Now I have done a lot of video work in these past year. I have learned a lot, and been upset about the outcome, but this is all a learning experience. British Users of Mac Podcast is a great podcast, but I want to see more video conversations, thats why I am writing this post, and also to show you another side of Apple.We all know about video, and all that good stuff, but the real question is: Do you know how to maximize it?

Personally, I have updated both my Mac’s. PowerMac G5 and PowerBook G4, and so far they are running fine. I am now using WebKit, which is an open source web browser engine. Web Kit gives you nightly builds, and lets you see the future of the best browser for the Mac OS, Safari. As for other improvements, I like having things in my menu bar, and now, there is an icon for Time Machine in the menu bar. Only thing now, I need to re-format one of my external hard drives, and back-up regularly. I have not played with the new stacks feature, but I just updated on Monday, so I still need time to play.
