iPod, er… iPad

AppleAh, iPad…

Do we really need this? I still like to use a mouse and I still love my Macbook Pro even though it failed on me a thousand times (faulty hard drive, replaceable under warranty).

iPad is just like an iPod on steroids.  Trust that Apple will convince you that you need this gadget.

Price: $699 for 32 Gb and $899 for 64 Gb.

List of things I miss from Windows or IBM PCs

I purchased a Macbook Pro recently and so far I am loving it.  However, there are some things that I miss from Windows or IBM-based PCs:

  1. Page Up / Page Down keys
  2. Home / End keys
  3. Double-click to maximize window (On a Mac, this minimizes the window and I get killed by this all the time so I just disabled it.)
  4. Visual Themes! (Apple is so strict with their visual styles eh?  I was hoping to get the OS X Tiger look, to no avail.)

I thought this was going to be a long list.

Later.
