Unboxing Power Mac G5

The Specs

HDD: 250GB SATA
RAM: 4GB DDR
CPU: 2.0GHz (Dual Core) 
DVD-RW Super Drive
GeForce FX 5200 (Will upgrade if possible)
OS: OSX Tiger 10.4.8

What is the power mac G5? Well it was a top of the line computer back in its day. Using a 64-bit power processor (which has been discontinued and switched with a Intel processor) there was no limitations on what you could do! But seeing as this in a six year old computer, there are now limitations for what you can do. Would I recommend this computer to you? Yes and no. I will be doing a weekly usage to see if it is something you would get your money’s worth. So I will be able to answer that question shortly.

So far, I was able to install adobe creative suite and get everything to work. I wasn't too sure if CS5 would work, so I installed CS3. Everything runs amazingly smooth; however safari keeps closing on YouTube’s main page. But if I go to a channel, everything works out. All in all, I do recommend this computer, however it is considerably cheap (being an old computer) but you can find these computers on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. Some come with Leopard, some do not.

Thank you for watching/reading. If you like this video you can find more at http://www.youtube.com/user/thedeskgeek

My Tribute to Steve Jobs - Rest In Peace

This is my short and simple tribute to the great Steven P. Jobs. This video is more of a celebration of his life and everything he stood for. I think it is fitting seeing as he fulfilled his destiny: he changed a generation. Rest in peace, Steve.



Thank you so much for watching. In memory of Steve Jobs and his famous quote: “I want to put a ding in the universe”.

Thinking Different

As I watch this video of the first Think Different commercial narrated by Steve Jobs, it almost brings a tear to my eyes. I lost my father when I was eleven years old to a disease called ALS. I'm not a person to cry but Steve Jobs has always been an inspiration for many, including myself. I have grown up with Steve and Apple in my life and I was not ready for this change. 

R.I.P. Steven Paul Jobs

5 Reasons Why Apple Is Successful

Many of us on TekSocial are huge Apple fans. That goes without saying. With the recent resignation of Steve Jobs as CEO, I think it is a good time to have a look back on why Apple is so successful, and will continue being so. First off, I'd just like to say these are my opinions on how Apple has become so successful, and I'm happy for you all to post your comments on how you feel about the reasons, and add any that you feel are neccesary.

Note, These are no specific order.

1. Experience - Apple has been in the technology industry for 35 Years! That gives them the edge on newer industrys, as they have that kind of knowledge of the technology market, and know what consumers want. (Now don't get me wrong, Apple has made a couple of mistakes in the past, but nobody is perfect)

2. Innovation - When innovation comes to mind, we all think 'futuristic' am I right? Well that is exactly what Apple are, they produce products that nobody would have ever thought of for another 10, 20 years.

3. Constant change - Now when I say constant change, what I mean is that Apple changes their own competitors market by themselves. Apple has a very positive history of being able to 'innovate' new products into the market, which then puts their competitors on the back foot, as they are years behind them.

4. Marketing - Myself & friends are always talking about the latest ways that Apple has found to advertise their products, most notably their TV commercials. Apple has potentially the best marketing experts in the world working on how to promote their product. Most notably, I remember the first iPad commercial, at the perfect time at Superbowl half time break.

5. Creativity - This is very much like Innovation, but the two together are basically what make Apple what it is today. Apple creates/innovates new products, so well, again their competitors find it hard to keep up with them. And with competitors that are behind them, Apple is always going to be on top.

I understand guys that this is really 4 reasons, as 2 of them are pretty much the same thing, but these I feel are the main reasons Apple is so successful in todays business.

WWDC 2011: iOS5

Are we looking at the future of mobile operating systems? I think so.

On June 6th, 2011, Apple held their annual World Wide Developers Conference. Apple provided information on iOS 5. It's going to be out "This Fall" and be available through the iTunes costing merely $0, which I personally found a shock.

In the video I'm going to solely focus on iOS 5.
