Apple released Magic Trackpad which I had wanted for 10 years.
Now I use only MacBook Pro for all purpose except server, so I am very familiar with trackpad. I discarded mouse 10 years ago, and today I discard Kensington Expert Mouse.
I love this simple and seamless design with Wireless Keyboard.
I bought Adobe CS5 Web Premium and installed it on my MBP today.
Thanks for the genuine 64bit engine, Photoshop CS5 was apparently improved and runs faster than CS4. Also Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash Pro, and Media Encoder got faster on every processing.
About Dreamweaver which I expected the most new improvements, I could not feel much speed in this version. I guess this release is not major upgrade version but only bug fixed version.
I replaced hard disk drive of my MacBook Pro which I use for Traktor with 500GB HGST drive.
Every time I tear down this MBP (not unibody), lots of screws annoy me so much. I refered to iFixit, and replaced the internal hard drive with new one. It has enough space to store original audio data for mixing songs (I guess about 10,000 songs in wave format). I know there was a choice for more storage. 500GB is reasonable price at this time. And I like HGST (HITACHI brand), it's quiet and much reliable.
My MacBook Pro upgraded MacOSX to version 10.6 code named "Snow Leopard" today.
I could feel some few good updated/fixed elements and disappointments.
I posted Snow Leopard report on Techlog.
Apple Cinema Display is well designed by Apple's design technology, but it can not adjust its height. It means default Cinema Display is not ergonomic.
Mounted Cinema Display 23inch with a cheap VESA mount arm and Apple Adapter Kit will ease and decrease your stiffness and stress.
Mac mini G4 was running as printer and fax server in my home.
After software update, it never booted up.
The problem subliminally existed on the disk of hard drive. So, I replaced it to new one.
iPhone Modem is an app which lets you use iPhone as wireless modem.
Two same name apps exist on "http://iphonemodem.com" and "http://iphonemodem.de".
Both app have basically same function, but "iphnemodem.de" says "iphonemodem.com" is fake app. (whatever for me though)
VMware Fusion is virtualization software for MacOSX. You can run various operating systems like Windows, Linux on your Mac.
