I was a Windows Mobile device user for about seven years. I was against the iPhone at first, thinking my Windows device suited my needs just fine. Then Ponzi bought me the iPhone. MajorDef wrote in to ask which is better for business… a Windows Mobile device, or an iPhone?

I am a product tester for Sprint, and recently got my hands on their new HTC Touch mobile device. It’s not a bad device. It’s very small and lightweight. It does everything I need it to do. But it just doesn’t compare to my iPhone. I get frustrated trying to push a button that doesn’t work on these Windows devices. After playing with this Sprint HTC Touch for about five minutes, I literally shook my head and said out loud “How did I ever DO this?”. Keep in mind that for seven years, I was perfectly happy with my Windows devices.

Enter my iPhone. It’s not just an amazing media device, it’s a joy to use. It’s smooth, it’s functional, it works the way I never thought it could work. It syncs perfectly with my Outlook, which is where I primarily live with my work. It can share my contacts, calenders and tasks. I can connect it to Exchange. It’s just magic. Is it perfect? Hardly. But, it’s the closest to perfect that any mobile device has ever come.

Apple didn’t set the bar higher with the iPod. It added a whole new bar to the playing field with this one.

I was surfing my RSS feeds the other night using Vienna. I came across a blog post about Vista from back in July, and decided it should be shared with you all, and commented on.

Over on JoeClarke.net, I came across a post called “Windows Vista: Bill Gates Driving his Edsel to Waterloo”. I could not have come up with a better title myself. Let me share parts of this blog with you.

Not only are needed software drivers very scarce, the entire interface is klutzy. Too many ways to mention, but whoever thought of revising the Explorer file folder scheme should have included listing the C: drive in the left pain. Why should I have search for the Root Of All Folders when wanting to look at all the folders sitting neatly like ducks in the left pane as has been done since Windows 3.0? OK, I like to learn new things, but only if the new things increase efficiency. Game players may love Vista, and maybe some folks who have never used Windows XP. I really believe Microsoft has jumped the shark on this one and one Serice Pack (coming out in 2009 according to one comedic blogger) will not fix the problem(s).

If you really like Vista prepare to buy newer software programs as many of your old XP programs will not fit. You may have to buy new peripherals such as printers, fax machines, scanners etc. You may not even find drivers for some Vista approved products, much less non-Vista products.

According to Vista Beta tester - Geekoid Christ Pirillo (google his youtube comments) and others, Vista is actually Beta software tested on Beta software. I believe Pirillo attempted to advise MS on some quirks, but was ignored.

This post was dated back in July, guys and gals. And guess what? Even all these months later, the same problems exist. The sky may not be falling, but faith in Microsoft definitely is.

When you resize a small image to make it larger, it tends to run the color together, and makes the edges jaggy or blurry. By turning a photo into Vector art, you get rid of those little imperfections.

If you want to clean up your image, make the lines clearer and colors cleaner when resizing it, you definitely want to use VectorMagic. This website and service is absolutely free, which amazes me. It’s easy to use, and the results are astounding.

Upload your image, and watch the tool detect what type of image it is. In my case, it detected my logo as a logo with blending. If I wanted to, I could change that to a logo without blending, a regular photo, whatever the case may be. It then asks what the quality (NOT the resolution) is of the picture. Analyzing begins, and it will stop to ask what color palette you want to use. Once analyzing is done… you can see the results. It’s amazing to see the difference between the original stretched image on the left, and the new cleaned up version on the right. That’s Vectorization, baby!

What is Vectorization, you ask? Vectorization (aka tracing) is the process of converting a raster image to a vector image. Raster images are pixel-based, whereas vector images are represented by geometric shapes such as lines, circles and curves.

Any time you come across a site like this, please let me know so I can help spread the word. I love finding places like this. This site is definitely something I’ve needed for a long time.

DreamScene on Vista allows you to run a video as a wallpaper. Unfortunately, I can’t use it. Vista claims my monitors are too big. That’s ok, I’m not giving them up. I did, however, discover a very cool trick awhile back to run a screen saver behind my active windows.

First you’ll need to open a command prompt. To do this:

• Click on Start, then Run
• Type cmd and click the Enter key on your keyboard.

Once the command window is open, you’ll need to type in the name of the screensaver you want, followed by p65552. For example, if you want the Ribbons screensaver running behind your windows, you would type the following in the Command window:

ribbons.scr /p65552

Be sure to note the space between .scr and the /p65552.

Voila! Isn’t this cool? You can now see the ribbons running behind all of my active windows, instead of just a blank desktop.

There is a new feature in Leopard that is available for every application and program on your Mac. This Help feature is so amazing, it will save you an incredible amount of time and trouble.

How often have you been working inside of a program, and just couldn’t find something buried in a menu that you KNEW was there? Face it, no matter how much you know… it’s happened to us all. Leopard has made it easy for you to find what you’re looking for.

Up on your Menu bar, all the way to the right is the Help menu. When you click on it, the first thing you’ll now see is a Search bar with a blinking cursor inside it. Type a keyword for what you are looking for, and a menu pops down with every place on your Mac that keyword may appear. Hover over the one that is correct, and it will open it for you… and even point a large blinking arrow at it.

Let’s say I need to tweak some settings on my firewall. Click on Help, type in firewall. Not only will it open System Preferences for me, it takes me to the proper place, and even the correct TAB for the firewall settings. It just doesn’t get any easier than that.

Many of you have asked me for a recommendation for a partition tool. In the past, I’ve recommended Partition Magic, which of course is not free. Wirelesspacket gave me a link to a free partitioning program that appears to be quite good!

PartedMagic is an open source project. It is a Linux LiveCD/USB/PXE with its elemental purpose being to partition hard drives.

What is a partition, you ask? Well, to put it in simple terms… take your Disk on your computer. Usually, your C drive of course. You can use this tool to create “partitions” on it, that is, separate sections. You can have one that boots a Linux distro, one that boots Windows, and even one for your music files. You see where I’m going with this? A partition tool will help you divide that hard disk, and manage the separate sections… or partitions.

There are two things that make PartedMagic stand out above other alternatives. One is the fact that it comes with complete documentation. The other thing is the sheer number of file systems it supports. Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.

I’m always interested in hearing your tips, tricks, ideas and programs you can’t live without. I encourage you to send me your thoughts via a comment to this or any other video, or by sending me and email to chris@prillo.com.

Guglielmo Plain has a question I don’t have an answer for:

My question is mainly about older computers not related to the new Intel based computer. I personally own a 1.5ghz G4 PB 17″ and I remember back in the day when I updated my OS from 10.3 to 10.4 that I got a considerable hit in performance or at least that’s what it felt like (I don’t have any tangible number or data to back it up). I remember that I once visited a repair person who specialized in Apple repairs and I mentioned that I felt that 10.4 was slower and he agreed with me and said that if I wanted to get the most out of my computer downgrading to 10.3 would be a good idea. I did not take his advice mainly because there were a few features in 10.4 mainly Spotlight that made my life a lot easier.

I have a feeling that 10.5 is slightly snappier than 10.4. Are my impressions being clouded by the hype and bling of the new OS or is it in fact faster and more efficient? Have you heard anyone else who thinks this or maybe that thinks the opposite and that it is in fact slower. Have you as a user of the newer MBP felt it to be faster/slower.

Well, I can tell you that the same apps on Leopard appear to be faster than they were in Tiger - most notably, VMware Fusion. Given that the minimum requirements for Leopard have been raised a bit, I’m assuming that you may not find the speed boosts that others are seeing.

After I reviewed the Saitek LED keyboard, I was unable to actually use it. So, I decided to bring Christmas a little early, and give it away to one of our community members at large.

On October 17th, I reviewed the Saitek Backlit LED Eclipse II USB Keyboard. It’s a great keyboard, and I really wish I could use it all the time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit on my keyboard shelf under my desk. My hands kept hitting the bottom of my desk. So, two days later, I announced I was giving it away.

The day has come, people have registered their guess. Now… let’s give this thing away to a lucky community member!

After many false starts… choosing people who weren’t present in the chat room… we finally find our winner! Congratulations, Perfect_Chaos!!!

I bought the Family Pack for Leopard. Apple gives me licensing to install my copy of Leopard on up to five Macs. The thing is… the disc is the exact same as the one for ONE install. Apple TRUSTS me to install this as I say I will. They BELIEVE in me. How many others companies DO that?

You heard me right, folks. Apple trusts us. They believe that I will install my copy on only up to five computers. They believe if you buy a single install disc, you’ll only install it on one computer. There is no “activation”. All you do is install. How many of you have had nightmares with Windows activation in the past? That type of pain and frustration is what happens when a company inherently does not trust its customers.

This is more than just “mac vs pc” guys and gals. This is about core beliefs. It’s about trust. Yes, that word again. Tired of it yet? How can you be? How often is it in this day and age you find someone who just trusts you automatically? Most of the time, individuals and companies alike generally distrust anyone and everyone until proven wrong. It’s nice for once to have the opposite be true.

Apple… kudos to you. I applaud you, and I thank you. I am going to be honest. I purchased the Family pack, and plan to install it on four Macs in my house. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to tell the truth.

This is the way it should be. Always. Period.

Back in 2002, I felt that a .Mac subscription was just a waste of money. Man oh man, has my mind ever changed. The upgrade to it with Leopard is so amazing, I can’t imagine NOT having it.

As I am making this video, you can see I am now installing Leopard on a second MacBook. I first installed it on the one sponsored by Ligit. Now, we’re putting it on the MacBook Pro sponsored by Blue Sky Factory. Everything has gone so smoothly since my upgrade on the first one, I feel comfortable putting it on the other machines. Two tips I have to speed up the install is to skip the dvd check, and uncheck the box for “install extra fonts”. You don’t need those unless you regularly use other languages than your native one.

Ok, back to the .Mac! There are just so many things you get for the $100.00 per year subscription:

• Web Gallery Easily share your photos and movies online from iLife08, with just a few clicks.
• Web Hosting You can now publish a website, create a blog, whatever you want to do with your space!
• iMap Mail Get an email address if you don’t already have one… or add another to your collection
• Groups Keep everyone on the same page using this feature.

The best feature as far as I’m concerned is Sync. This is absolutely unparalleled. There is no similar feature in Linux or Windows. Using Sync, you can sync your address book, widgets, bookmarks, calendar, Dock items and more across ALL Macs on your network! .Mac Sync is built right into Mac OS X, so setup is as simple as a few clicks. Just open .Mac Sync preferences, choose what you want to sync, and click Sync Now. You can have .Mac sync changes automatically, or sync manually whenever you like.

Is there any question that a .Mac subscription is worth what you’re paying for?

I get so tired of people saying that you cannot right click or scroll with a Mac. That is absolutely false, and I’m going to show you how to enable these functions.

On your Mac, open your System Preferences. This is basically the same thing as the Windows Control Panel. Once in System Preferences, open Keyboard and Mouse area. Click on the “Trackpad” tab.

Once in the Trackpad tab, look down under “Gestures”. Wow… what do you know? You can place a check in the box next to “use two fingers to scroll”, as well as next to “tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click”. That is your right click function. I don’t know why they called it a ’secondary click’, but it’s the basic right click.

You can, of course, hold down Control and click the trackpad, but why would you do that? It’s so fast, easy and convenient to use two fingers to tap. Once you do, I promise you’ll never think twice about it again.

If you have any other Mac Myths you’d like me to bust on video, be sure to leave a follow-up comment or send me an email to chris@pirillo.com.

When Apple released the features of Leopard, some Mac users got their hoodies in a twist over iChat. They compared it to Windows Messenger… but couldn’t be further from being correct.

iChat isn’t just for instant messaging. Just some of the cool enhancements to iChat include:

• With the new video backdrops built into iChat, you can make it look like you’re chatting from the Eiffel Tower, under the sea, or from the moon. You can also create your own custom backdrops by dragging a picture or video from iPhoto or the Finder into the video effects window. Backdrops even show up on the screens of buddies who don’t have Leopard.
• Transform your video chats using new Photo Booth effects. Add kapow! to a chat with the comic book effect. Get twisted with twirl. Soften your image with glow. Just choose an effect and your video changes instantly.
• Why wait for a darkened room and a projector to present vacation photos or Keynote slides? iChat Theater Now you can do it all remotely, right in iChat. Put on a photo slideshow, click through a Keynote presentation, or play a movie — in full screen, accompanied by a video feed of you hosting — while your buddy looks on. In fact, you can show any file on your system that works with Quick Look.
• Thanks to iChat screen sharing, you and your buddy can observe and control a single desktop with iChat, making it a cinch to collaborate with a colleague, browse the web with a friend, or pick plane seats with your spouse. Share your own desktop or your buddy’s — you both have control at all times. And iChat automatically initiates an audio chat when you start a screen sharing session, so you can talk things through while you’re at it.
• Now you can save your audio and video chats for posterity with iChat recording. Before recording starts, iChat notifies your buddies and asks for their permission to record. When you’re done chatting, iChat stores your audio chats as AAC files and video chats as MPEG-4 files so you can play them in iTunes or QuickTime. Share them with colleagues, friends, and family or sync them to your iPod and play on the go.

Who says that Instant Messaging has ever had this much functionality… and been this much fun?

Several of us got together on Ventrilo just to chit chat. We ended up talking about Vista and XP, the differences, the expectations… and the opinions on the reality that is Vista.

A community member who goes by the name of SWAT started this off by making a comment that he feels as though he was ‘ripped off’ with Vista. I asked him how? I mean, didn’t Microsoft promise more “wow”? Didn’t they guarantee more eye candy? They delivered on that, right? They gave us AERO, Flip3D… so many little things like that. So how does he feel ripped off?

SWAT’s answer is simple. He says that while all of those things may be considered to be great new features in the eyes of Microsoft… but they are not in his. He doesn’t feel that Vista has lived up to the hype, and that it’s a “$500 copy of Poker”. He doesn’t necessarily want all those bells and whistles. He just wants a stable Operating System that will work. Unfortunately, at the time he had to buy a new laptop, he could ONLY get Vista on it, so he feels stuck with it.

Datalore, on the other hand, truly like Vista. He’s having no issues with it, and simply turns off the features he doesn’t want. But isn’t the point that you shouldn’t have to turn things off? Isn’t the point to make an Operating System that does what it needs to do… without so much getting in the way? Why the need to keep trying to outdo each other with gadgets, bells, whistles, and hoopla? Why can’t we get back to focusing on making a product that will run well, and do the things we need it to DO?

I’m going to keep this person’s name anonymous for the time being, because I’m sure he’d get flamed out of existence for admitting to believing in these stereotypical myths about Macs.

Allow me to provide a list of reasons why I don’t like macs. If you really want to prove their equality to a Windows fanboy such as me, feel free to demonstrate their debunkery through video. Since your recent conversion to the Dark Side, I suppose even I can give the time of day.

I haven’t switched yet, but here are his seven reasons for not giving the Mac a chance:

1. The Mac UI is so easy to use, it’s insulting to a power user.

2. Macs are bad for popular games because few games are made for Mac and they don’t do DirectX.
3. Most popular software won’t run on a Mac, and there is seldom a good equivalent.
4. I haven’t seen a mac with more than two screens (Three for a laptop); do they go higher?
5. Since OSX runs on some sort of *nix base, it can be lent to all the *nix stereotypes.
6. Macs are more expensive than similarly-spec’d PCs.
7. Even with all the great advances made in the past few years, one cannot “try before you buy” a Mac

Where do we begin to debunk these theories?

Are you ready to upgrade to the latest version of OS X, Leopard? Great. Here are the versions available to you today. Select carefully, as only one of them is right for you:

• Mac OS X Leopard Home Basic
• Mac OS X Leopard Home Premium
• Mac OS X Leopard Business
• Mac OS X Leopard Enterprise
• Mac OS X Leopard Ultimate

And if you plan on installing Mac OS X on more than one computer in your house, you better be even more careful about which edition you decide to purchase. I would recommend the following for those of you with more than one Mac in need of a Leopard upgrade:

• Mac OS X Leopard Family
• Mac OS X Leopard Family Small
• Mac OS X Leopard Family Nuclear
• Mac OS X Leopard Family Retired
• Mac OS X Leopard Family Adopted

If you still want to run Windows or Linux applications on OS X, you’re out of luck. Unless, of course, there’s some kind of magical software out there which would allow you to run those programs in Parallel. Gee, wouldn’t that be awesome? Yeah, and maybe pigs will fly out of my PC’s floppy drive.
