Firefox just works better

How far does one's ignorance over technological matters go?

Well, I just installed Mozilla Firefox on my mom's laptop and I had to change its icon to the infamous Internet Explorer's "e", otherwise she wouldn't know how to check E-mail.

Oh damn you iTunes!

I remmember the day I was given the gift of portable music. It was Christmas ´97, and I got my first discman. The first one to use it was mybrother. He excluded himself from the family reunion to an isolated room where he listened to his Alanis Morisette album, which was his present, in myChristmas present.

Since then, I don´t know what it feels like to be on a moving vehicle and not listen to music. That same discman would go everyday to class with me until early 2005, when I got my first iPod. I remmember when I started taking the city bus to school, I wouldn´t take me iPod with me in the beginning. But then I became a very bitter person. So started taking my iPod with me, even if taking the bus was somewhat dangerous.

Last night, I sync-ed my pictures library to my 80Gb iPod. I never sync my iPod to my libraries, but it was the only way to get my pictures into my iPod. So I did it. I payed much attention to not sync the songs and erase them all. But I guess that didn't work.

This morning, as I say to my dad in the car "I feel like listening to the Foos today", I realised I couldn't find any songs on my iPod. Only pictures! What good will that do?

This is my first big frustation I get from Apple. I'm guessing there are more to come. Oh well.

Mac OS is growing on me

For almost three weeks now, I spend the first four hours of my day monitoring video-editting and advertising classes on 20 Macs.

Just now, after I left my job to work on some stuff on the pc-lab I just tried to close a window on its upper-left hand corner.

This makes me happy. :D I´m leaving the dark side of the force. Now all I need to for Apple to finally release Leopard so I can finally get my Macbook Pro!

Adobe Camera Raw

I've just discovered a whole new world in the wonder that is Adobeland.

Now all I need is to nerd my way through life for another three years so I can master Adobe Camera Raw like I've mastered Photoshop. Muwah muwah muwah.

Is this guy kidding me?

I just read this from the Apple´s Hot News Feed.

“Video looks amazing on the nano,” reports Tim Gideon (pcmag.com) in his review of the new iPod nano. “Watching an episode of ‘The Office’ was pure joy" (...)

Seriously, the SNL sketch, people?

So the rumors WERE true!

Apple did launch an entire new line of iPods.
Now I feel bad for my not-even-one-month-old 80Gb Video iPod.

But hey, 160Gb?! I'm starting to think Steve Jobs is turning into that SNL sketch.

Great video.
