The Universal Dock Adaptor

January 10, 2009 ub3rg33k

Well, I have to say I’m impressed with this doc. I like most people tried to do things on the cheap, and bought a dock from Ebay. It was a genuine Apple dock, however not for Touch 2nd Gen. It did work, however fitment was sloppy and the doc adapter didn’t fit. This one just works, plugged it in, dropped my Ipod Touch on it, and it synced straight away, the good thing is, if I don’t use the dock adapter, it fits with the case on 🙂 Finally, the remote control that comes with it, also controls the MacBook … Continue reading The Universal Dock Adaptor

Apple Mighty Mouse Unboxing

January 10, 2009 ub3rg33k

The Mighty mouse is a very elagant design, no visable buttons on the top and the “squeeze” buttons on the size. The scroll wheel is a 360 degrees rollerball. In the box Unboxed The underneath and that’s all there is to show really ! I’m still getting used to the mouse, I don’t think it’s as responsive as my PC mouse (however that is a Razor 2000DPI Gaming mouse), but the 360 degree scroll wheel does make up for it.

Gotta love the apple packaging What’s underneath the MacBook Pro The stylishly designed document holder The multi ended power supple cable (which if you didn’t know is held onto the Mac with a magnet, so no fear of breaking off the end of the power adapter if you were to trip over the cable, Clever I know !) Well, in true geek style, I thought I’d take shots of the unboxing of the MacBook Pro. btw, forgot to mention in my previous blog “Apple Day, Hurray !” , that we went to the Apple store, because the one I had … Continue reading The MacBook Pro Unboxing.

Apple day ! Hurray !

January 9, 2009 ub3rg33k

Well, as planned, we went to the Apple store in Leicester after work today. If you’ve never been to an Apple store before, then I can highly recommend it. If you asked me to describe what heaven looked like, it would be an Apple store. We walked though the …… looking for the store as we’ve never venture to …. before. Walked through the carpark, through John Lewis (the store, not a person, LOL)….saw next, new look and the I saw it, no words outside the shop, just a huge 10 foot illuminated apple logo above the door. I swear, … Continue reading Apple day ! Hurray !

Soon I will be free from the Micrsosoft pain and suffering.

January 3, 2009 ub3rg33k

As with most Windows users, we all get used to it’s little quirks, think “oh well”, when you see the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), hold the power button down when it decided to lock up and show all your open apps as (Not Responding)….well I’ve had enough. I’ve used non-linux based operating systems for many many moons, since that day that everything was branded as “IBM Compatible”, when DOS was a sold operating system, and DOS Shell was a simple way of managing your files. These days I talk about where when you had an option to fire up … Continue reading Soon I will be free from the Micrsosoft pain and suffering.
