  • How to manage a cluttered email inbox

    Let's be frank here for a minute. The only reason that I use a hardware email client is for the instant search capabilities that I have. I was an early adopter of gmail and one of my favourite features was the instant search speed of the google servers. When you wanted to find a key word it would look at a huge number of emails instantly and the search provided relevant results too! When I started using multiple emails on different domains I quickly needed to find an email client to aggregate multiple accounts and gmail didn't seem to fit...

    Well a long time ago I was going to write a tutorial about how to get that weird glare out of eyes in Photoshop, basically the idea is to make two masks around the glare and lower the brightness or saturation until it looks normal.

Think again, Lion will be digitally distributed only."][/caption] As far as I know OS X Lion is coming to the world and Canada on July 22, 2011. The new OS is going to be distributed only on Apple's internal App Store and will be at the low $30 price point much like the release of Snow Leopard. Clearly this low price point has worked well for Apple by encouraging early-adoption while simultaneously discouraging piracy. I think that this is not a sustainable price for consumers though, I was recently...

    Today continued to paint a picture of the new iPad 2 in Canada as technology blogs are discussing the possibilities that Apple will announce the second-gen iPad 2 within the next month in Canada.

  • 2.8 ghz i7 macbook pro shipping time

    by firewire New Hardware, New Posts to follow? Well it's been a while since I've actually posted something serious here, but with good reason! Mid term season is upon us; I am just getting over all the work and a pretty rough cold too! I also just ordered one of the 2.8 ghz i7 MacBook Pro's direct from Apple.
