Macs are known for their ability to just work. Software seems to behave very well and for the most part, you don’t get as many crashes or freeze ups as on a Windows machine. However, the more I use my Macbook Pro the more I realize that, while it is true that you get less [...]
Emoji icons are Japanese picture characters of emoticons. If you have looked at the app store lately, you have probably run into quite a few of them either in the title of some apps or the reviews of apps.
Now before I continue, realize that ALL iPhones have the emoji characters built in. All the apps [...]

The instructions are on their twitter accounts and on the OnTheHub page but basically, all you have to do to enter is: Re-tweet #parallels4students. That is it!

While working on Hillegass’ book Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X (3rd Edition). I made this small app. It is called Speak Line and it basically speaks whatever you type in the text field. It is very entertaining.
The book shows you how to do it with the default voice but I could not stop there. [...]
Today I was programming in Xcode and realized that every time I ran my programs, I would get these weird messages in the debugger console. They didn’t break anything or cause the program to end prematurely but it made the compile and run process take longer and flooded the console with the weird message “unable [...]
A lot of people always ask me what the easiest way to create ringtones for the iPhone is. Apple made sure to make the process time consuming and not that obvious for the average user. Instead they offer to create the ringtone for you through iTunes at a price. Well I am here to tell [...]
After installing the new OS X Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro, I encountered some incompatibilities with some software. All of these incompatibilities were easily fixed by updating the software except for one: my HP printer/scanner/copier software.
The printer was working fine as a printer but I was not able to scan anything. I would press [...]
Up until today, I have been using hot corners in Mac OS X Leopard in two ways:
To start the screen saver as a way to lock my machine (require login)
To put the display to sleep when I am in class and wish to conserve energy or hide my screen without having to log back in.
After [...]
Ever since I bought my Macbook Pro 15″ I have been VERY happy with it. The operating system is great, the laptop hardware is very nice, and everything works together flawlessly. That is, until now. I have found the first con of this laptop: it’s sharp edges.
Because of it’s unibody design and the way they made [...]
I have officially purchased a Macbook Pro 15″
The specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo – 2.53GHz
4GB of 1066MHZ RAM
320GB Hard Drive @ 7200RPM
Nvidia Geforce 9400M
I must say that this machine is VERY well made. It feel extremely sturdy while still maintaining the beauty that Apple products are notorious for.
Last night, after downloading Xcode [...]
I have not updated this blog in a while and decided that now is a good time to do so.
I am planning on learning Objective-C (Apple’s programming language) and creating an iPhone app. I still do not have an idea of the app I want to create. I just know that I want to make [...]
I bought the iPhone 3G the weekend it came out. Waited about 4 hours in line for it. I already had some experience with an iPhone since I had bought my girlfriend the first generation version (I decided to wait until 3G and GPS was in the phone).
After getting the iPhone 3G I began running [...]
