• Frankly I hate reviews that have such a personal bent. Obviously people feel differently about this shuffle. Some people really like it (I do). Your job as a reviewer is write for a general audience, including people that might like the choices a…

• I don't' get all the .Mac bashing. Name another competing way to sync all the info on your macs together (address book, Safari links, iCal, mail accounts). This makes it so easy to set up an account on a new mac. Plus, we all know syncing is comi…

  in Apple hints at .Mac improvements on Tuesday Comment by cesjr August 2007
• Apple could be afraid right now of killing off the Mac Pro before it has a chance to get off the ground. So first you introduce that, get as much money out of the market as you can. And then release something cheaper with Conroe. By that time the…

• Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Maybe I don't want to get 'a lot more'. Maybe I just want to backup my photos. Oh yes. Let me put on my shoes, I gotta travel 15 miles to ask a simple question. Um, Picasa is for Windows so I…

• Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Um, dude, we were talking about Picasa. I mentioned Aperture because the price of backup for Picasa + support for Picasa was almost as high as what Apple charge for Aperture. you keep forgetting you get …

• Quote: Originally posted by Gon What happens is I restore from backup. You know, the thing iPhoto doesn't let me do? Does your word processor have a library too? What's keeping you from deleting all your documents?I have good experiences of Ap…

• Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean So you're pretty much ready to pay $400+ just to be able to organize and backup your pictures? Hmm. Interesting. Where does the $400 come from? If it's .Mac, Applecare, iLife, you seem to be forgett…

  in Picasa is so much better than iPhoto Comment by cesjr November 2005
• I don't think Picasa is better than iPhoto. iPhoto is better than Picasa. Number 1, Picasa has nothing like iPhoto's integration with OS X and iLife (and increasingly third party apps). I love being able to add a photo to my iPhoto library righ…

• I'm not sure I understand this obsession with CELL PHONES as the future. I think Steve Jobs had it right when he said the future of the computer is, "you take it with you." (He said this one time when dissing the idea of the convergence of perso…

  in Billy Bob Gates say iPods to be overtaken by Cell Phones Comment by cesjr May 2005
• Quote: Originally posted by cmoney Don't think of cell phone music players as jukeboxes. That's not what Verizon and Sprint will bring to market. They'll offer a service where you can listen to the latest and greatest pop hit (and not the whole C…

• Quote: Originally posted by wnurse I know, you probably are frustrated that people don't see the light. Almost makes you want to slap them in the face and ask them to wake up but it's a reality of life. This is why the carriers will succeed i…

• Another factor against licensing at this point is that Apple can innovate more rapidly and better guarantee a glitch-free, reliable user experience by controlling all the pieces. As we all know, this is Apple's standard modus operandi from the begi…

• Quote: Originally posted by trumptman I hate to break this to you, but after the initial advance, most things become decidedly average. This is even true with music performers. The initial post stands. No matter how great we think the iPod, pe…

• I think the Symbian OS is great because you can load all kinds of different programs including a gameboy emulator. The 3650 is Symbian, but the Sony I don't believe is. I love my 3650.

  in SE T610 vs Nokia 3650 Comment by cesjr July 2003
• I just got the Nokia 3650 and I think it's great. No problems syncing address book contacts to the phone, except the groups information doesn't transfer over (grrr). Calendar and to do syncing are coming soon, says apple. Now I have it set up so h…

  in BT Phones, where are they!?! Comment by cesjr July 2003
• Of course it's funny. But what do you do when basically the product is good and, damn, APPLE AGAIN!!! Argh!! It's not too hard to poke fun at people like Jobs, with all the hyping and marketing (anathema to Ars types). Or to poke fun at the Mac…

• one more thing on the 12 inch PB. The sound quality out of the headphone jack seems very good to me. I have some HD 600 Sennheisers (awesome) and the detail is very nice. Maybe these built-in D/A converters are getting better. It sounds almost a…
