Modern life is, at best, complex and, at worst, horribly wasteful and confusing. I am galled by the number of chargers that I must pack with me when I travel with my various electronics. On any given holidays, I will leave with the iPod, the blackberry, the Bluetooth earpiece, the laptop, electric razor, and the [...]

How to import Hotmail .csv into Apple Mac Mail
If you are looking to import your Hotmail address book into your Apple Mac Mail, here is a nifty application created by Steve Roy: Address Importer Software. It is free for the first use (he asks for a $10 donation thereafter). I have used it just once and it took me less than 10 minutes [...]
Apple Stores – Sheer Genius
Listening to Apple‘s videocast of the opening speech at this year’s MacWorld 2009, I heard that Apple stores around the world receive 3.4 million visitors per week. Via a separate source, I see that Apple had 251 stores as of the end of calendar year 2008 (as reported here on CNET) and is planning to [...]
Apple’s inspiration reaches out… again
The never ending flow of examples of how Apple has impacted the world continues… Above is an outdoor ad in Paris by a travel site (www.marmara.com) using multiple coloured suitcases, much like the Apple Shuffle, to mention one of the iconoclastic campaigns. In both combinations, there is a joyful combination of personalisation, fun colours and [...]

Steve Jobs’ Launch of Macintosh in 1984… Video down Memory Lane
Feeling nostalgic during these difficult times? You are not alone. Many people, in this worrisome period (inspite of the arrival of Obama), are looking for creature comforts, reassurance and transparency. In the spirit of rekindling nostalgic moments, below is a little trip down memory lane, with the quixotic Steve Jobs launching the original Mac. Not [...]
Apple iPod Vending Machine at Airports around USA….
At Las Vegas McCarran Airport, I found this kiosk selling a number of Apple goods. It was a peculiar site, the logo atop being the little Apple of my eye, caught my attention. While Apple has seemingly established these vending machines in many airports (I have read about kiosks at JFK, DFW, Atlanta, SFO, Indianapolis…) [...]
Podcasts and Videocasts – New reasons to walk to work
Despite the sleek look & feel, I know that the Apple iPhone is still not perfect for my needs, so I have resisted the temptation thus far. Instead, I am content to max out my iPod. Although the agenda and contacts are weak applications in the Apple mobile platforms, I now have all my family [...]
