Trade Your Pc For Apple ?

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

Let’s say the offer was there, if the guys at Apple decided to offer you a computer at the exact value of all of your parts for your custom computer all tallied up to get a total value at full perfect value. Would you take this deal? Would you feel as if you are at a gain? or would you feel as if you are at a loss in performance, security, ability, creativity? Would this migration cause you any grief/ Could you make a an easy transfer to the Mac, Apple operating system ?
What operating system would you be changing from ? Windows? Linux? BSD ? Please say which version also ex: windows 98, windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 , fedora, xandros etc.
If Mac announced that they are looking to expand their hardware range by trading your pc and studying your personal combination of devices so they can better write the Apple Operating system for a new assortment of apple computers. Would your participate?
would you offer more money after mac evaluates and fair trades, so that you can get an even better and even newer apple computer?
Would be able to give a fair review of the apple computer you get in swap for your pc ?

Zane Savage on Apple TV

Makes Sense to me.

“

This device is a DOWNGRADE for anyone who currently owns an Apple TV. I like the price, I just don’t like the hardware.

”

Very Well put.
I like my media I want my media.
Least they can do is sell some of the New apple tvs come with multiple usb ports, That way you can watch home videos without needing yet another device hooked up to your television.
It looks cool. The concept is good. but the full end delivery is not up to my likings either.
Maybe they should call it the mini or the “budget apple tv” Wait, net flicks on apple???
but they don’t let anyone on their stuff right? Apple is screwy and it trips me out what mac people think is acceptable.

Apple Makes 99 Cent Shows Store

Posted onAuthorTech News

Cnet reports that Itunes has a new store for tv shows. 99 cent shows on itunes.

Everyone already knows what will be on that section of their site. The office,Family guy, Southpark and a few other internet trends. Lots of Chick flick tv shows. Resolution will be above par. 48 hours is the window of time we have to watch the videos and then bam it’s gone.

Well cool, that actually brings media to the public the way we have kinda always wanted. Really we wanted the owners of tv stations to stream for free. Well we could handle adverts and stuff. We kind of expect it. So the rental of a tv show we could probably watch on time, is kind of lame. Does give us the chance to watch the movies we would have missed because a late day at work or what ever catastrophe we would encounter that would prevent the enjoyment of our favorite show. DVR.

It’s a good idea for some.

For me it’s not what I am looking for. I refuse to put quicktime,itunes or any other media from apple on my computer. They just don’t have enough  bugs worked out to keep me interested.

Apple to Brick Jailbroke Iphones

Posted onAuthorTech News

From Mashable, It seems that Apple is claiming their intentions for your use of their product. (Apple is bricking the hacked iphones. Again.)

On one end I understand why they don’t want you to modify or enhance their product. Their whole operating system is that way.

On the other end I understand why people get upset that they paid for something and should be able to use it how they want to.

That’s just apple. They create it, they tell you how to use it. Many accept that as a logical request. Others find that to be zombie like. I find it crippling by not allowing more people to create and innovate to evolve more in the directions that other people than Mac employees may think is next or most wanted.

But again they put a copyright on their product with a specific end user license agreement. When you buy their product you are at some time  given the EULA that you have to agree to before you can actually use the product. Most people do not read them. They just click ok and hurry into their new goodies.

So Enjoy your Iphone for what it is. :-)

Hands on with Iphone 4

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I got my hands on the IPhone 4. After a week of arguing with the macfaqs at work about how Apple is not super man and the pope rolled into one and how the Iphone really does have a signal issue.
One of the co-workers brought an Iphone 4 in to the office and let me get a hands on.

one of Iphone4's Cameras.

IPhone 4 With camera on

The camera on it is amazing. (yeah I’m in the background gathering pictures with my G1).

Back Of IPhone 4

You can actually have a full on video chat with someone who has an IPhone 4 also.

Front Camera

The resolution is remarkable. The thing is nice and heavy feeling. Very sturdy. Somehow though it looks like the old nano and a Motorolla birthed an Apple. Video quality is up to 720p 29 fps recording.

screen area

  • 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display
  • 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
  • 800:1 contrast ratio (typical)
  • 500 cd/m2 max brightness (typical)

512mb Ram 1GHz processor Really impressive. That could play GTA liberty City Stories easily.

Well that’s the best I can do with my limited time with the phone. The co-worker that brought that with him is now as we speak on a plane to somewhere on vacation. HTC needs to build more like that. or Motorolla needs to build more like that. Then again, just be motivated by that to make something better. So if I did not make it clear reception was fine. a room with 7 computers 6 of them running and reception was fine. No matter where I placed my fingers on that phone, the signal was good.

(((((1 video was removed)))))

I really appreciated the chance to check that thing out. It was the feeling of when you are holding a brand new hard drive that you know is fast and has tons of storage. It just felt sturdy very well built and nice and heavy.
I will not be buying one simply because AT&T has chased me away already with their bad signal in my area. Sure wish it was on Tmobile. Not much better but better.

Iphone4 Released

Posted onAuthorTruXter

The Iphone 4 has been released. At some AT&T had lines of people who camped waiting to be one of the first to obtain 1.
The apearance is slightly more boxy and resembles past ipods with hint of influence from android phone shapes.
Functionality has been smoothed in ways that makes android phones look dated. Video quality is suprisingly high. That will surely be compared to droid 5mp cams.
Full review on the review section of truxtertech.com . Houston malls opened at 7 am to release. Day 2 opening at 8 am. For those who missed out. Video chat works.
Russian president got his todaqy straight from steve jobs while in california.

April 2010 In Tech News

Posted onAuthorGame News1 Comment

That was a very busy month for tech news. Lots of great things came, some not so great but that is almost unnoticeable. Looks like good news for the gaming world all the way around. Bad news for the business phones. Then again, no one really used palm anymore anyway.

Android Tablet Rumors

Posted onAuthorTech News

It seems as if people want Android to compete with Apple Ipad Tablet. As if there is this big battle waiting to happen. The problem is, the Ipad is a useless accessory that serves no other purpose than to do and be what Apple wants. That is, for the future to be planned and predetermined. Google makes their hardware and software with rules and laws protecting them to say ” this is what we are selling, this is what you can do with it. It is a Horse bit and Blinders future if you let the product manufacturers tell you what is good, as apposed to produce what you request.
There is no use in that tablet, otherwise people would have bought the many Microsoft tablets through the years. It’s not a question of quality, it’s a question of convenience and capabilities. If it is an E-book reader with app abilities Neat, so is a $200 laptop. I mean if sun glare is not a problem to you, Otherwise a Kendal migt be the better, lighter and cheaper rout.

You must always have the option of a mouse and keyboard. You should not force people to have only one interface option.

My only hope is everyone who makes gadgets, just ignores the Ipad and moves on in computer and telephone direction. That would prevent us from being forced into a touch screen only type of interface. That junk would get old fast. I would hate to write to the Tech News site on a touch screen. After about an hour, my finger tips would get sore. Imagen if it was your job. I actually freak out when people touch my monitor. Imagen if all we had was touchscreen. I would be forced to sit in teh corner chewing on the collar of my shirt staring off into space mumbling “amonia glass cleaners and key action, We used to be able to do what was called ‘over clocking’ and we could tweak our machines and linux was a real, it’s not a myth, it’s not a myth”.
Hopefully we get an Android system that competes with the Ipad, but is nothing like the Ipad at all. That would be our best hope and safest bet.

Mac Shuns More Flash

Posted onAuthorGregSnippets1 Comment

Apple Bans Flash Compilers?
I know this is about APPS. but what backlash can it cause?… well you see it goes like this……..

So Apple takes another stab at adobe. I myself hate the pdf reader. Other than that. I am ok with Adobe. Question is, what will Apple do next ? Drop the partnership with photoshop? Will they upset adobe enough that adobe decides to forget apple exists all together? If that happens then apple will have to do something that would make mac users cringe. Insert an opensource software…! YIKES!!! Completely unheard of.  Just kidding with the sarcasm. Mac has bought many opensource and Linux patents. Linux users say it keeps Linux alive. I think it limits Linux software and makes developers have to start over.

So, Let’s cross our fingers and hope mac goes corel.

Will this kill youtube? or will youtube and other flash sites (or lack of) be the reason people stop buying mac products? I am certain there are more users of youtube than there are of mac users.
