There is a new browser on the block and it is amazing. I have been running Leopard for a few days now and I finally got everything installed that I had before. Setting up Photo Shop and iLife 08 along with FireFox and a bunch of other programs has been a toiling adventure.
I wanted to do a full complete install on my iMac G5 and not a typical upgrade to Leopard. What is with the cats? After spending a few hours tracking down all the disks and serial numbers on the boxes that I thought I threw away, I got most of the daily programs back on the iMac and I am ready to start working again.
When I sought out to get FireFox back I went to the net and a friend Corey told me about the new FireFox 3 Beta 4 that is available now. Not being the biggest fan of FireFox and their past versions for Apple OS’s, I was a little hesitant to download another web browser. I like using Safari and have always had pretty good success with Safari. Except for the occasional back end website login that is not compatible with Safari .. not Safari’s fault though. Web Designers are lazy and don’t build their programs to be compatible with ALL browsers which forces developers like us to seek out alternative browsers.
So we got FireFox 3 Beta 4 installed and so far Mozilla has outdone themselves this time. The new browser in Beta is simply amazing and I highly recommend FireFox Beta 4 to anyone who is now using FireFox or wants to try it out for the first time. This is the internet browser of the future.
I watched the information that the iPhone is coming out with some new updates and these next updates are going to be something of a helpful nature. The last update to 1.1.4 was .. well .. eh. The new maps are cool and the text messaging features are pretty cool. Even though I have only used the multi text once so far but I see a use for it in the future.
The main feature about this update seems to be geared toward attracting the bigger companies that use one type of phone for their employees. Creating and distributing Apps that anyone can get involved in building. Targeting the big Enterprises is all well and good but I hope that the average joe gets these updates to and is able to use them for their own little home business features.
Some of the new features include the ability to lock out the phone and keep people from hacking into it. Another cool feature if you r phone is ever stolen. Just find a computer that you are linked to the network with and kill the iPhone.
One of the other new features is supposed to let you link up with the iPhone and your computer .. or your buddies computer .. and link files that pertain to contacts and appointments. Very handy for the on the go salesman.
The addition of games and AIM for the iPhone seems pretty hands as well. The battery on the iPhone is not going to be able to handle all that chatting. At least mine wont. Im going to need to be near a plug or a computer quite often. I wonder if there is something wrong with my battery. I’m going to go to the Apple Store and have it checked out.
One thing I do know is that if you don’t have an iPhone now and you want one but don’t want to have it on AT&T then you better get your hands on one now that is already unlocked. There will be significant update to the iPhone that is going to tackle the issue of iPhones that are not on the AT&T network.
In the past few months we have been looking at the Apple iMac. We do some video processing/editing and a little audio processing so we want something fast and powerful. The Mac Pro is a little much for us in the price range although we did find some good deals on eBay. So we will stick with the iMac since that is what we are all used to using.
Right now we have been editing all of our video and audio on our G5 iMac that we picked up in a trade. I’m glad we started working on a Mac since working with the Window$ Ba$ed PC was getting to be a real bore. With the iMac we can do so much more and do it a lot faster and more efficiently. We are all excited about getting another computer in the studio and even more so that it is going to be an iMac with the Intel processor. Time to get back into shooting videos and getting more content ready for the movie we are all working on.
