January 25, 2013March 6, 2025 Apps, Features, Mac OS X, Macintosh, Photography 0

Parallels 8 desktop for the Mac & iOS Application – Review

January 21, 2013March 6, 2025 Apps, Features, Mac OS X, Review, Windows 0

I had heard a lot about running virtual machines for years but had never thought to do it. I would think, what’s the point? But then I got the chance to review Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac and its iOS application companion. It was a new experience for me to use a technology I was not familiar with, which is rare, so I grabbed the chance with both hands.

Nuance Paperport Notes – Review

January 16, 2013March 6, 2025 Apps, Camera, Creative Writing, Features, iOS, iPad, iPad 2, iPad mini, Photography, Review, Scanner, Tablet 0

There are many applications that do word processing but this one from Nuance goes further than most. It actually lets you take advantage of dictation on your iPad. Considering Nuance brought us Dragon dictation, it is not surprising dictation transcription is part of the application but it is integrated very well.

Pulp Motion – Review

January 14, 2013March 6, 2025 Apps, Features, iDVD, iMovie, Mac OS X, Photography, Review, Video 1

If you want to make slideshow-type videos, PulpMotion is the app for you. It has similarities to iMovie, but is different enough to be worth a look. It is incredibly easy to choose a theme, drop in photos or videos, add some background music, insert a caption or two, and export it in a format best suited to your intended viewing platform. While it is drop dead simple and quick, there’s also a lot of power to tweak and customize your slideshow to get it just the way you want.

Hewlett Packard (HP) is the granddaddy of the consumer inkjet printer business, manufacturing the first DeskJets in the mid-1980s. My first decent printer was an HP DeskWriter (specially configured for Macintosh computers), which I bought in the late 1980s, around the time HP did their first big price reduction (for the DeskWriter) from around $1200 down to $800.

December 27, 2012March 6, 2025 Apps, Book Review, Features, Review 0

I have been a Mac user for quite a few years now. It was surprising that I had never used iChat, considering how often I am talking to friends online all over the world. Now with it becoming the Messages application I was curious to see if it did more than what you see at first glance.

December 14, 2012March 6, 2025 Apps, Audio, Earphones, Features, Headphones, Headset, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, iTunes, Microphone, Music, Nemo Memo, Opinion, Review, Speakers 0

The t-JAYS Four (abbreviated as tJ4) headphone are almost (or better than) conventional, which is a good thing. Multiple size comfortable tips and a too-small carrying case are provided in the idiosyncratic standard JAYS hard shell product packaging that we have described in prior reviews of JAYS products.
