News from The Apple Store – Magic Trackpad
0Today, Apple Store has posted a new range. The product range has expanded Apple Trackpad Magic, that is a plus (sounds like a set at McDonalds ) Macbook touchpad?and Pro in the iMac keyboard stand?a. It looks aesthetically, does not occupy much space and it is this last may be regarded as a disadvantage. Why buy an additional device, after that it ?mazać sobie po nim palcami?, since when I have a slim desktop keyboard with a Bluetooth Mouse Magic?
I laugh news magazine Chip, which posted:
? Pierwszą z nowości jest Magic Trackpad, czyli makowy odpowiednik tabletów Bamboo Wacoma.?
Have contradicted themselves in this sentence, because the trackpad, and the tablet are two different things, But besides Wacom can do much more and not just for this, to feel on the desktop as the MacBook.
Poza tym w cenie Trackpad?a tj. 69 usd można juz chyba zakupić Wacom Bamboo Small z Pen?em, now that we have established the tablets.
In conclusion, For me it is a superfluous gadget, because work on the touchpad is awkward on the desk, the more abandoned in favor of Magic Mouse trackpad seems irrational.
Dropbox, that is, a free virtual drive, to which the files can not be sent unless only Polish Post
0Ever since I discovered the application, Dropbox service actually installed it everywhere I could, home, work, phone. Why is it so cool? To begin with what is actually already mentioned Dropbox?
Dropbox is a service, through which we can store your personal files online and manage access to them. Applications for support services have been created on all major platforms from Windows, Mac OSX, Linux for mobile platforms iPhone, IPAD, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, And if this were not enough for us is access from a web browser, or even simply, we can send files via e-mail client. The latter service is made possible by additional application SendToDropBox (http://sendtodropbox.com/), which, after authorization of access to our Dropbox account generates a special e-mail address, which we can send files to your virtual drive.
In addition, Dropbox is free in the basic version, where you get 2GB for your data. This is enough space for everyday file sharing between our devices. If, for someone is not enough can buy a larger package, or take advantage of the Partner Program.
Individual folders on your virtual disk, we can share with our friends, so we can move, eg. pictures from the event, that in a moment found themselves on their disks using the full bandwidth, and not be tormented to the limits on popular file hosting sites, whether zcachowane by Google, or worse, hit the public profile on facebook pedestal.
Now, some advantages, bo sam dysk to nie wszystko co oferują nam autorzy DropBox?a.
- Synchronization ? dzięki niej mamy jednoczesny dostęp do tych samych danych z folderu Dropbox na każdej platformie
- folder Dropbox ? czy jak kto woli skrzynka wrzutowa, it is a directory where I put all our files and after loading the server will be synchronized with the other devices in our. The folder is created by the same client application in a conspicuous place
- LAN synchronization ? dzięki niej w sieci LAN mamy błyskawiczny dostęp zanim zostaną załadowane do chmury
- free application, free service
I think, he did not need anyone to encourage the application. In my case the application is inherent in the system such as skype or safari.
The application is available for download: here
How to connect Xbox 360 the Internet with Mac?a.
0I decided to connect the Xbox 360 to the Internet using a macbook?and the provision of services and the Internet. I will say right away, that could be, and thus saved me the purchase of an adapter or an optional WiFi router, and for this amount I buy at least one of the original game.
We first need Cable type skrętka, to connect your mac?and console.
Then we have the Network Preferences choose manual configuration and enter such. The following data:
In the next step we need to Internet available. Of course, we provide a combination of Airport cards for Ethernet connection ? according to the picture below.
That's all we have done for this mac?you. The rest of these steps is to configure your Xbox 360.
The network configuration we choose wszędzie manual mode. The IP address of the write sequence number of our connection to the console with mac?em ? 10.0.0.2
The subnet mask should be the same setup that previously ? 255.255.255.0, a brama to nasz mac, and more specifically its IP address ? 10.0.0.1
Once you have everything you typed click Done and go to the DNS configuration.
Here are the addresses may differ in each. In my case it was 192.168.2.1 as Primary and Secondary ? 192.168.2.255
This could be dictated by the, I'm behind two routers, although 100% I'm not sure.
Your best bet is to check it by running Terminal.app and typing ifconfig nazwa_interfejsu_ethernet eg. ifconfig en0
Then we'll see, we need addresses.
And that's all there to enjoy full access to the internet on our console. When you download the update, the console used the full bandwidth, also there should be no problems with the functionality in this configuration.
Waiting for comments, Was that also in this way to work.
Pixelmator vs. Photoshop puktu view web designer
0Luckily I managed to win Pixelmator application in a contest organized a birthday MojMac.pl site so I can enjoy the full version of, that is not so awkward, younger brother or a clone of Adobe Photshop.
I do not intend to describe all the advantages and disadvantages of both applications, and only compare in terms of both applications most frequently used options in the design and preparation of graphics for web pages.
At the beginning of Pixelmator's see how to cope with opening PSD files.
It is widely accepted in, that if an application supports graphics format. psd is cool, cool, trendy ? a zatem Pixelmator spełnia oczekiwania tej grupy użytkowników.
Can open format. Psd, but as you can see in the picture below to perfection even give it a little lacking. After opening the little intricate graphics layer of the fonts have been rasterized, and blending options (blending mode) Pixelmator completely disregarded, and what's interesting masks left.
(Pixelmator left without the option of mixing, the right Photoshop)
Therefore,, if you want to work in Pixelmatorze, must first flatten each layer, applied to the remaining effects, and text elements will have to apply again if we intend to interfere with the content.
Another useful tool especially in the last phase of working with graphics for writing CSS for our new image is chopped pipette, if you like eyedropper.
The Adobe product is not anything special in this, simply fulfills its function, the authors added a relish Pixelamtora in a small window with an enlarged, which follows our pipette, co pozwala na dokładny wybór koloru interesującego nas pixela bez powiększania całego projektu ? małe rzecz, and how comfortable. I will only add, że takie coś w dodatku do firefox?a ? ColorZilla byłoby zbawieniem przy pracy z kolorami.
Of course, during the preparation of graphics for Web sites will host a free Cutting blade (ang. Slice Tool).
Co ciekawe Pixelmator w tym momencie ponownie zaskakuje ? po raz kolejny utwierdzam się w przekonaniu że bracia Dailide dobrze przemyśleli potrzeby użytkowników programu.
When cutting out the elements for all we immediately set up the format and quality. It is very convenient for example if. more than a slight compression of the background graphics page, or you need some element in PNG format with transparent background, and the rest can be compressed JPEG. Of course, Photoshop also makes it possible, ale dopiero po w osobnym oknie z podglądem na cięcie ? osobiście uważam, że wygodniej jest ustawić takie parametry przy każdym elemencie ? rzecz gustu.
Interestingly Pixelmator saves only those fragments, which cut out, and not all the graphics as Photoshop. O ile wygodniej jest skopiować te kilka plików do naszego katalogu /images niż przekopywać się przez czasem kilkadziesiąt plików i szukać tych slice?that, we are interested.
I will not elaborate on how this program is better to design web pages, because at the moment is probably the obvious choice, but the solution described above, previously known tools Pixelmatora issue should be closely monitored by programmers with Adobe, since the harvester is not everything, there's still the convenience and intuitive operation.
How to record a video of what's happening on your screen?
4Recently I had to prepare training materials for the maintenance shop for the customer. Until now I was not needed, all of a sudden we had to look for fine-grained application…
Choice fell on Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/), which is really nice to use, can determine the dimensions of our film, can be stopped during such. after it, to copy the text and paste it in the product description, In addition to the free version offers only save the recorded file to. swf.
At the beginning I did not really accounted for it to taste, but in the end I was happy, swf as such has a very nice interface, caching and you need do is to put on the ftp and give someone a direct link.
Paid version allows you to save a file in video format, for the rest of the options are not dug, because they were not I need.
In addition, the program enables bezpośredni upload na I serwery, creating screenshots ? although from what is a mac?The new Grab…
In summary I recommend to all who want to record your actions on the computer screen ? PC, because the program is also available for Windows.
What to write on a Mac?you? Editor with code coloring, maybe IDE?
4You probably have hundreds of thousands of lines of code for me, and perhaps more ? never counted. I went in it from the Notepad, by a more civilized editors, that can color the syntax of PHP, Html or JS, until it came time to select IDE.
Let's start from the beginning…
How to choose an editor?
My choice fell on TextWrangler. Why? Reason prosaic… is free, can color in virtually any language which requires, work on multiple files simultaneously, even directly on FTP, resume session, and also has a Find&Replace ? Now perhaps some people wonder why I mention this feature, Check it out but in how many authors are able to program it przebajerować enormity of extra features making it awkward to use.
If someone is not enough recommend BBEdit ? more professional, commercial product that the authors TextWrangler?a. What is the difference can be found at http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ I give just one important element, a mianowicie możliwość pracowania well projektach, not like in TextWrangler solely on individual files.
I think, BBEdit that can be safely described as competition for TextMate?a, and Coda ? also paid applications.
Personally, I have not used their longer than you test period, issue an opinion because I can not. For me it is most convenient TextWrangler, When I need to work on individual files.
Of course, advanced projects, no application forms in simple text editors, because it is inconvenient. Thus, the presence Ide, ie Integrated Development Environments.
At this stage I would like to once again highlight, that his opinions on observations exhibit the work of the PHP language, but not Ruby or Java.
How to choose an IDE?
Be the first one I chose IDE Zend Studio ? logical choice, I think everyone know what language this company does. Well soon parted, as for me, because it was a clumsy, telework often ended in spill situations ? But I do not deny, that in the current version it works better now.
Another tool, which is more than a year popracowałem Eclipse. Quite a powerful tool, but on a mac?u as in not too crude and not very mac?owe GUI ? It's basically the only reason he was looking for something else.
Ultimately, the choice fell on NetBeans, which is almost perfect. Working with him is pure pleasure, Projects are created quickly, tips work very well for any language, and even the framework?a, and for this it looks nice.
A very convenient feature is the ability to open two files side by side jedocześnie, at the high-resolution iMac?and works very.
Ultimately I chose the editor ? TextWrangler oraz IDE ? NetBeans and so far I'm not going to change this duo.
And what do You use?
Cup – Currently spot od, or how to cheaply sell your personal information
1In fact, these cups reservations were one big sham, and why?
About this later…
After making a reservation / zamówienia and Bek otrzymałem wiadomość, it will be sent to the address.
For a time there was silence, until I received another message, which invites you to visit the showroom iSpot?a ? What marketing, because it may tempt me to buy something..
After a few days I was in the mall and went into the living room… after waiting for several minutes, for the Lord to guide talks with probably little rozgarniętym customer on the phone asked for the promised cup and to my surprise I got it in stock, without asking for data, that left handed ? that is, as if I walked into the living room by not reporting anything previously…
However, it is not the end.. since before I could get out of my “great” I had a cup of ADDITION complete report of receipt ? complete nonsense.
Oczywiście dwa razy podane dane nie podlegały weryfikacji ? kolejna niedorzeczność.
It's almost the end of criticism… iSpot cup with the logo and Mac OSX Snow Leopard looks like on the pictures below:
Not! Plain mug advertising… the company with Apple idealogią powiniśmy expect more…
My adventure started with an Apple…
1My experience with Apple was launched in April 2007 when he wanted me to powerbook?a. After asking dozens of questions in the forum myapple choice fell on PowerBook G4 15?. As the first computer with a gnawed apple it was probably the best choice possible ? in the event of failure of the financial loss would not be large.
Of course, everything ended well and I was very pleased. I used it a little over a year, and in the meantime I bought Macbook White 13?, I use to this moment and so far I am not going to get rid of. I would also like to thank the administrators for a successful transaction MyApple PowerBook purchase?a i MacBook?a.
First mac?and sold ? greet a fellow of Lodz, I hope that continues to serve. Besides work I use the new iMac?a 21.5?, which is ideal and very convenient solution to the office.
Hello World, that is a welcome entry!
0Welcome all to my blog devoted to Apple topics. Na wstępie chciałbym zaznaczyć, iż całkowicie nie mam zamiaru konkurować z AppleBlog Pawła i Włodka, czy MójMac Przemka, które osobiście codziennie przeglądam. Mój blog dotyczyć będzie wyłącznie moich doświadczeń z produktami Apple, applications on OS X?and whether the programming on Apple platform.
If time allows I would like to focus most on the latter aspect, because so far it is quite neglected in ?Polish part of the Internet?. Most likely, this is not a traditional course, and more a, or more partial write articles on a particular application. Perhaps there will be also screencasts, if there is interest programming mac?that.
Certainly there will also news from the world of Apple, bo jaktu nie skomentować pojawienia się nowego iPhone?and whether the iPad?a.
Feel free to read on
