My topic is GTD, right? Right. Everyone in Tech knows what GTD is, right? Maybe, probably not. Everyone in Tech knows all about GTD? Wrong. GTD is not a universal concept. Even if every techy knew what it meant, GTD is not only for techies. Out of this is born my series of GTD Essentials: one concept per post of GTD reasoning, methods, terminology, etc.
This time I’m focusing on a pretty simple one. This is one of the big ideas GTD revolves around. (more…)
I was looking for a simple, easy way to control my Mac from my iPod Touch. I did a quick search an found a app called Telekinesis.
Telekinesis is an app of two parts, Thing 1 and Thing 2 (to quote Dr. Seuss). Thing 1 is the server side application that you run on your Mac, then you have an iPhone web-app. (more…)
In my opinion, this is a big no-no for Apple because of one thing: developers. When Apple first introduced the iPhone, Steve Jobs talked about the user interface saying that, with current smart phones at the time, “you can’t go in and add a button; they’ve already been shipped!” He went on to say that their interfaces couldn’t work because they weren’t changeable for each application. This is also the reason against the iPhone Nano, in a sense. (more…)
It’s that time of year again where every blogger and their grandma’s dog’s cousin blogs about their predictions for Macworld. This year, as always, they all seemed to have reached the exact same conclusions, this year being details on Snow Leopard, a new Mac Mini, and maybe a new iMac or iLife. The problem here is that every one of them is attempting to be correct, guessing only the most predictable, plausible, and likely announcements.
That’s great, Mr. Future-NY-Times-Columnist, unfortunately, it’s boring to read the same boring things over and over again. Here is my list of new products apple could (but most likely won’t) be released in 2009, and why they might be good ideas. (more…)
Over the holidays I got an iPod Touch and so far I’ve been really enjoying it. The one thing that annoyed me was the fact that so much of the iPod Touch’s stuff relies on wifi. My bedroom is a long way away from the wifi base station.
I really wanted to be able to use the internet on my iTouch so I did some Googling and found out about Internet Sharing – a really useful thing built into every mac.
Internet Sharing allows you to use the Internet from one interface (ie Ethernet) and transmit it out another interface (ie wifi). (more…)
It’s just turned 2009 and from everyone here at the International Mac Podcast we want to wish all our amazing readers the best year and let’s hope for you and Apple it is one of the best ever despite others claiming otherwise.
Thank you so much for making 2008 great for us and we have so much more to come in 2009 as we grow more and more.
In the modern world most people have multipe machines that they work on (one at work, a home desktop and maybe a notebook). Trying to manage all of your files and folders can get very hard and complicated – for example; you’ve just finished creating the presentation for the CEO and you arrive at work but you forgot to email it to yourself.
Dropbox is the answer. Dropbox was started in 2007 and has a great and active community around it. Dropbox is a menu-bar app that syncs your stuff between multiple computers, from right inside the Finder. (more…)
