MacPad

On January 27, 2010, Apple released the iPad. But could it be possible that Apple is just getting started, and is preparing to release a Mac version of the tablet?

View the original article here.

Mentioning my previous article, The Future of Computing, I discussed the possibility of a fully touch-based OS for a fully-fledged computer; not a mobile device. Well it makes perfect sense to put a touchscreen onto a type of device that runs a touch OS.

I don't believe this will be released [necessarily] this year…I think this will be released with OS 10.7, which I think will have support for touch input (10.6 has some support for that. It supports gestures on the trackpad). However… Read more

Awesome iTunes 9 Mod (Mac and PC)

I was just browsing through one of my favorite sites, Deviant Art and I found this amazing mod for iTunes 9! It is available for Mac OSX, Tiger and up, as well for Windows, Windows Vista and 7.

Now, the installation is self explanatory, but I have also attached a video doing so and what it looks like. Thanks for reading and watching!

The iPad is not a large iPhone. The iPhone is a small iPad.

I am very excited for the next iPhone…

I think it will have some great features, learning from the iPad; a 1GHz processor, an all-aluminum back (like the first iPhone), and a gorgeous screen. Not to mention it'll come with iPhone firmware 4.0! 

Read this article first.

All the past iPhone upgrades have been small. Collectively, all they added was 3G, GPS, a faster processor, and a video camera. Not much to brag about. The Nexus One and Android are a serious threat to the iPhone. While not as elegant and nice, they have many features that some nerds lust about–regardless of the ugly UI. The iPhone needs to stay on top. The first iPhone destroyed competition. The 3G and the 3GS…well…not so much. As Steve himself said, the next iPhone will be an A+ upgrade.

I think with the addition of a powerful processor, the next iPhone will allow multiple apps to be open simultaneously, as well as a 5 megapixel camera, and an incredibly long-lasting battery.

iPad: What You Need To Know

So, there has been a lot of buzz around the iPad. Both good and bad, mostly bad. I'm here to bring you a video on a more neutral side. This video here just explains the specifications of the iPad. It was mostly a spur of the moment video, so I apologize if it is a little unorganized. I will be making a video on my thoughts of the iPad too. So, here you go everyone, info and specs of the iPad. Make sure to check out the post on my TechnoBuffalo sub blog that goes along with this video.

Google Chrome, not so fast!

I have recently tweeted about what I want to talk about in this blog post. I'm currently using a Mac, running Snow Leopard with all the latest updates and it's in Wifi. My internet is provided by BT (British Telecoms in the UK) and I expect a 8mb (megabyte) service when I get (usually) 4-5mb. Anyway, enough rambling.

I tested the speed between the Chrome browser, which I believe is still under the BETA release and the traditional Mac browser, Safari 4. I found a significant difference between the speed the 2 browsers were receiving while they took the speedtest side by side. 

To the left we have Chrome and Safari is on the right.

As you can see, Chrome drops the download speed dramatically whereas Safari keeps it strong. I know Google Chrome is still in BETA, but I think this is either a definite bug or something is wrong with their browser.
