What's in my Dock: October 2010

This video is a simple video of the applications that help me get through the normal day in my life. My dock is a very important part of my Mac OS X Snow Leopard experience. If you wish to know which applications are my favorites, or you want to learn more about a certain application, please refer to the video above. I will be posting more content soon on a few applications. So stay tuned and have a great day!

Get a Mac

Today I'm not doing a post about Tek Nation. This post is about a few reasons why people should use macs instead of PCs. I picked about five different reasons I found about this subject. 

Here are my reasons. The first one is Apple's build quality. The design and build quality of a mac is very great according to me. The only people who can build macs are Apple themselves. With a PC there are tons of manufacturers. So, I like how you only have to go to one place to get a mac. I also love Mac OS X. It's simple, fast, and easy to navigate. My experience with Windows has been the exact opposite. Another fact about macs is that macs can run both Windows and Mac OS X. This feature is very overlooked and it needs some recognition. The other reasons are going to be left a mystery, so if you'd like to see everything in full detail, please take a look at the video above the text.

Ways OS X Can Improve

I am an Apple evangelist, speaking the ways of the Macintosh, and have been since the days of Vista. I love OS X and the ease of use, the customizable interface, and the many benefits it has to offer. However, no OS is perfect, and despite what most Apple fanboys say, OS X is no exception.

The Dock. The Dock is a very nice feature and has been in OS X for quite some time. However, it lacks a few things, in terms of customization. Apple  needs to put in "themes" for the dock. The glassy look is nice, but it gets old. And not everyone like the 3D look. Yes, you can download applications that modify the dock, but I strongly believe that this needs to be built in.

UI Themes. Like Windows, OS X needs themes for the overall interface. The gray look with colorful buttons is nice, but gets old. I would love to see Apple creative support for themes that are built in to OS X, such as an "Aero" look, similar to Windows. Again, you can download software to have a themes in OS X, but Apple needs to make their own, built in to the OS.

More options in Expose. Expose is great, especially in Snow Leopard. I still think it is unfinished, and could use more customizable options, and I also think Apple could implement Expose in other Apple software, such as iTunes, Safari, iPhoto and iMovie.

The return of support for third-party screen savers. When you upgraded to Snow Leopard, you probably noticed that all of your third-party screen savers no longer worked. It is unknown why Apple removed the support for this, but it would be nice to have it back.

These are just a few, but important, things Apple could improve OS X with. There are more, I'm sure. Comments welcome.
