Quick Tip:
The iPhone 3.0 update has the ability to send multiple photos via mms or email. Problem is when you try to share more than 5 images. You’ll notice that the option to “Share” is dimmed when you’ve selected more than 5 photos. Fortunately, a quick work around is to use copy and paste. Just select 6 or more photos and click copy at the bottom. Paste your images into a new email and watch the progress bar chug away as you send. Copy and Paste saves the day! Who says we don’t need copy and paste? Got interesting discoveries with your 3.0 update? Leave a MSG in the comments. Enjoy!

IPhone Tip of the Day
Hey a guy can dream right? Sweet. Here are some articles that theorize and prophesize the future of tablet/mac computing.
The writing is on the freakin wall folks!!!! Could we see a Project Natal type motion capture coupled with future OSs to produce a Minority Report like interface??? Who knows maybe we’ll see the Tablet first. I could be getting ahead of myself. Drools…

Lifesize Gundam in Tokyo
It’s so beautiful and menacing at the same time. In Tokyo, Japan they’ve finally completed their 1:1 scale lifesize Gun-freakin-Dam!!! Those japanese folks do a lot of strange things but a lot of their ideas are goold and this is definitely one of them. Genius idea. I just hope this doesn’t mark the beginning of the Uprising… My toaster has been acting strange lately…

Mac OS 10.6 is your hot cousin
She just got off the plane and you reluctantly go to the airport to meet her thinking about how you’ve never even heard of this cousin and why should I go out of my way to take care of this person I don’t even know. And suddenly a MACK truck hits you!!! Metaphorically speaking. Your cousin shows up at the gates smiling and waving at you! She’s a hottie! Now you don’t know whether or not to greet her respectfully or to take her out and buy a drink!! Confused? Thankfully, I don’t have this problem.
So you knew it was coming. And Apple just announced that Snow Leopard will be on sale in September. But do your really know what’s inside the new update. You’re thinking all the changes are under the hood and there really isn’t all that much there. Well, I suggest you have a look at the long list of items Apple has in store for Mac OS 10.6. And I think the price for the upgrade is pretty reasonable considering what you get. $29USD. Compare that too a similar under-the-hood upgrade to Windows Vista at $79. Arguable, but in comparison Microsoft’s upgrade seems more like a long list of much-needed fixes rather than a real solid upgrade. I’ll leave it up to you to decide. This is a peaceful blog.
The subtle yet compelling features I’m excited about are the new gesture controls built into new and old macs. I’m using the pre-unibody macbook pro so I’m particually excited about the three and four finger gestures that are coming to the OS as default. No more hacks!!! And the ability to write chinese directly on your trackpad is a very welcome update, if not long-overdue update. Other things like a smaller hard disk footprint (The new OS saves you 6GB of space.), faster bootup and shutdown times, better network performance (even if its asleep, mind you), are all welcome changes. But what you are really seeing, is the most popular version of the Mac OS, OS Leopard, getting its second coat of polish. We’re talking about an OS that is so feature rich from its last update that it only needs to do a slight tune-up. Am I biased? Of course I am. But it only stands to prove Job’s age-old comparison between the Mac and luxury cars such as BMW and Mercedes etcs… Your typical BMW will only need service maybe once or twice a year. This is what i’m told. I’ve never had to format my Mac ever since I’ve bought it. I’m constantly formating other peoples PCs and cleaning out the junk that accumulates. But I digress. *breathe*
One more neat little feature is the ability to read Mac OS files from within Bootcamp. Meaning, if you’re running windows you can still have a peek at the Mac hard disk. Apple is so bored they’re adding features to Windows!! No more installing Mediafour’s MacDisk! Mind you, this only allows you to read Mac disks not write to them in Windows. Apple says this keeps viruses away from the Mac side of things. Touché!
It’s a hot update and I can’t wait for it to drop in September. I’ll let you know how it goes when I get it.
You know, she doesn’t get out much. No one really talks about her, or to her. Everyone knows she’s talented and would make a stellar house wife but nobody would like to admit to it. Actually, she’s hotter than you’ll ever know, you just need to warm up to her. Okay… now I forget what I was going to write about.
Oh yes! Power Menu! It’s back baby! 10.5.7 seems to the sleeper hit that no one saw coming. It fixes dozens of previous issues and keeps your mac running rock solid. Historically, one of the bigger updates that actually keeps true to its promise of fixing things instead of breaking things. And yes, they brought back the battery menu power schemes! Not sure what happened in the dot six release when they decided to have it removed across the board. Anyway its back and things are gravy once again. Of course your mileage my vary. Remember to backup via Time Machine. Cheers!
