OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Now that the world has experienced the full release of Apples OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard the votes are in. The reviews are out. The hype is over. The wait is over. Survey says? That is the question. I think the world of mac users are stunned because, dare I say we expected more? The long awaited OS from apple that has been released is dare I say nothing more than a $29.99 …. gulp …. Service Pack? After doing both a clean install and upgrade install* I’ve yet to see a vast improvement. Yes its slightly faster, Yes it adds a few new features that the everyday user may or may not use. But overall, it was a $29.99 service pack. It’s how leopard should have been. But I must say eventually I will do a clean install. The difference I see from those wondering wether or not to upgrade to Snow Leopard or not. For $29.99 why not? If you are currently running Tiger (OS X 10.4) then its a bargain. The hype surrounding Quicktime X was a bit over rated. They stripped a large chunk of features out of it. It’s almost as if they are making us keep Quicktime Pro 7 around. Then what’s the point? Now being a mainly apple user, I of course pre-ordered the software and couldn’t wait to get it on my machine. Overall the install and upgrade was seamless. Even the install process was almost exactly like Leopard. Even the intro video on clean install was the same.

Is the bass really atomic, you ask? Scientifically, no. But it is shockingly potent at any volume. If you love it loud, consider listening in a controlled environment until you become accustomed to the Atomic Bass earphones performance.

Reviewers such as CNET rank Atomic Bass Earphones higher than other in-ear speakers costing 2 to 4 times more. (Click Here to See the Rating) Don’t be deceived by price or appearance of these earphones. Just because you’ve always brushed your teeth with green paste from a tube doesn’t mean you should freshen your breath with wasabi.

Social Networks … Why should I join them?

posted by The Tech Buzz on Aug.22, 2009, under News

What are social networks? That’s a commonly asked question. Believe it or not people are just finding facebook and myspace and think that social networking is limited to these sites. What is social networking you ask? Social networking is a service of online communities who gather and mingle based upon similar interests, activities, and or business. The foundation is interaction.
