MacHeist Good deal?

Posted by KL Tech Muse at 11:00 AM on March 14, 2010

If you are a Mac user you have probably heard of MacHeist. MacHeist is a package program that is release occasionally. It contains several programs, which if you brought alone would cost several hundred dollars. When you buy the MacHeist package you get all the programs for less then $20.00. The programs that are offer with MacHeist vary with each release and the date of release is unknown. This latest MacHeist which is now over, had the following programs in it: MacJournal, RipIt, Clips, Flow, CoverScout, Tales of Monkey Island, RapidWeaver and Tweetie. The MacHeist Web site says that they sold over 175,000 copies of the software and raised over $1,250,000 for charity. I admit I am one of those who purchased the MacHeist package this time around. I was already going to buy Ripit and was interested in Clips, so it made sense.

If you are a user and are interested in any of the programs in the package MacHeist seems like a no brainer. It is also a good deal for the charities, and MacHeist itself. There, however is a fourth group that maybe the losers in this scenario. That group is of course the developers of the various software. For example if you brought Rapid Weaver as a stand alone package it would cost you $79.00. With MacHeist you are getting it plus five other programs for a little less the one-fourth the price. So why do they participate in the MacHeist. It can’t be that the money is being given to charity, as Merlin Mann said on Macbreak Weekly 184 if you want to give money to charity, then give to charity. Is it a way to foster good will, that is the willingness to sell product A at a lost for a short period of time, in the hope that the buyer will buy product B at full price down the road. I don’t have an answer to this question, but there is obviously a reason developers participate after all this is the third year of the MacHeist program.

There is one area that I don’t totally agree with Merlin Mann. He thinks that as a user you should not purchase a MacHeist bundle, but if you really want the product you should pay full price. I disagree with him on this, my way of thinking is that MacHeist allows me to have programs that I wanted but couldn’t afford. I have always wanted to use Rapid Weaver, but I could not afford it, the chance of me buying it at full price was very small. Therefore the creators of Rapid Weaver didn’t loose $79.00, because they never would have gotten it in the first place. Also, I didn’t force the developer to participate, I just took advantage of their participation. If you are a mac user did you purchase the MacHeist package. If you are a developer did you participate in the program, if so why or why not, I would be interested to hear either way.

Capacitive Touch Screens – A Step Backwards?

Posted by Andrew at 9:58 AM on February 3, 2010

Ever since I bought my first PDA (a Palm III) back in the late 90s, I’ve used the kind of touchscreen which needs you to give it a slight press, typically with stylus but a finger will work just fine too. Apparently these are resistive touchscreens and work by having two thin transparent parallel sheets which are brought together by the press.

Newer mobile phones such as Apple’s iPhone, the Palm Pre, Google’s Nexus One, use capacitive touchscreens which use distortions in electrostatic fields to detect fingers on the surface of the screen. Frankly, I think they’re a step backwards.

Why? One – you can really only use your finger. Things like styluses don’t work anymore and, two – the accuracy or resolution is really poor. Let’s be honest, your finger isn’t exactly the most precise pointing device. My finger tends to block out the very thing I’m trying to tap on.

The last time I did any finger writing, I was probably about 5 years old. I then learnt how to hold a pen and write block letters, graduating to joined-up script when I was seven or eight. Finally, after a couple of decades in adulthood, it’s back to finger painting on a 3″ screen. Does anyone else think this is wrong?

“But you don’t have to get your stylus out each time now to tap on the screen. It’s so much more convenient”. But the problem in the past was not the screen – it was the user interface. It expected more precise pointing than a finger. On PalmOS I could very easily start applications with my finger and choose from dropdown menus but editing Excel cells was too challenging. If you had a modern phone OS with a resistive screen it would work just fine. And you could have the best of both worlds; finger pointing for basic operation and the stylus for fine work.

“But you can scroll through lists with a flick”. Yes, you can and it’s great, but I find that too often I select an item instead of scrolling and it’s incredibly irritating when you’ve just dropped an email into completely the wrong folder. Could we please just have scroll bars back?

“But what about multi-touch? That’s only available on a capacitive screen.” True enough, but this is a phone not Microsoft Surface. I don’t even find the gestures that easy to do one-handed so I’m quite happy to give up multi-touch.

I have tried the Pogostick stylus but it’s not much better. I still end up stabbing at the screen rather than gently tapping, the resolution or accuracy is no better and the stylus head is pretty big. HTC appear to be bringing out a capacitive stylus but it’s not yet available in the UK and it’s quite expensive.

My point is that a capacitive screen would be fine on a larger screen, where there’s greater room for bigger buttons and multi-touch with two hands would bring benefts. But on a small 3″ phone screen, I needed better accuracy, not worse and I’m fully on-board for a hybrid of finger pointing for dialling and quick selection, but with the finer control of a stylus to select text, edit cells and generally be productive. A resistive screen can provide this far better than a capacitive screen as far as I can tell.

I think we’ve been sold a dummy.

iPad. Just you wait Henry Higgins.

Posted by Nolan at 7:43 AM on January 28, 2010

My first thoughts? I’m only surprised by two things:

The price. I expected $700 in the high priced Apple universe.
The lack of a souped up e-book or magazine to show the potential to the media industry.

So in response to our great host at Geek News Central, and he is wiser than I for certain, let me add a few of my thoughts in support of the iPad.

Not surprised at the lack of a camera on this model, but I will be surprised and disappointed if it doesn’t make it onto a future model (for the iPod touch as well). Apple doesn’t like including items if they are not sure they will run perfectly or could cause battery or other “market image” problems. Overall I appreciate that. Most of the time. I think.
Not surprised at the lack of Adobe Flash. I believe HTML 5 will progress enough that soon most sites will have a secondary link to a different video format for each page. And perhaps the federal budget will balance soon as well. One can hope that Apple, Adobe, Democrats and Republicans can all get along.
Not surprised with (but I don’t like) another Apple store to buy books from. I am glad that you can purchase the Amazon Kindle app and still purchase from there. You can be certain that when the new media begins to come out that most of it will probably flow through Apple for the iPad.
Not surprised at the negative response of “What is so great about this?” If I recall people were just like that in regard to the iPhone and Touch and the initial closed apps setting. And of course the iPhone and iPod Touch won’t really do much for gaming. So I’m positive that the iPad will not do much for media and communication. Even 6 months is going to tell a new story.
Not surprised at (but again don’t like) the lack of output options. In many ways Steve Jobs is becoming that which he fears. He hates buttons and jacks. But what about awkward, ugly, expensive, easy to lose, easy to wear out adapters? An iPad with a few jacks would look much better than an iPad with a white thing sticking off of the bottom and a bag of extras.

I own a first-gen iPod touch. I didn’t have AT&T and so it was my only option. I jail broke it briefly to get some apps but soon restored and waited for the app store. It doesn’t have the fastest processor. It doesn’t have side volume buttons. It doesn’t have the built in speaker and voice capabilities. It has been a great purchase. Even as the product has evolved I have enjoyed so many of the benefits of new software. I have no doubt that is going to be the case for the iPad.

I’m waiting to purchase the iPad. Why? Partly the money, but mainly my need. I have no current need with where I’m living and what I’m doing. However, as the books and magazines begin to pile in, the software designers get creative, and time passes – I will probably be tempted. For certain you can cross a Kindle off of my wish list. We should be realistic – the e-reader industry is shaking even if they have Android. To quote Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady “Just you (w)ait (H)enry (H)iggins just you (w)ait.”

In a Word a iPhone on Sterioids Check Gizmodo Coverage

Love the concept and they almost did it right. But it is missing the following

No MultiTasking
No Camera
No Flash (Adobe)
No Verizon or T-Mobile
No Widescreen
No HDMI Out

Plus your still locked into the App store. Your not going to be able to load your own applications on this. It’s a locked in ecosystem worse than the iPhone in that you thing your getting a computer but instead what you are getting is a iPhone with no phone and few extra shiny features. For the above reasons I will pass on this one.

No Multitasking is the biggest killer. Why is Apple so scared of Multi-Tasking you know that the Andorid phones and tablets coming will have that feature.

This device would have been perfect for Skype calls. But guess what no camera. IDIOTS!

The One Thing Apple Did Wrong this Year

Posted by Jeffrey Powers at 2:17 AM on December 28, 2009

First of all, I know there are going to be people disagreeing on this, so let’s just say we’ll agree to disagree….

I have seen a few articles on the web talking about the 10 things that Apple has done right and the 10 things Apple has done wrong. While I look at some of the items on these lists, I agree with it for the most part. You can probably guess some of the things like Apple and AT&T, the Tablet rumors, not upgrading the Mac Pro, etc.

All in all, there is one thing that I think Apple should have done this year and didn’t really do. It’s something that was on Beta News top ten list of things they did right. But I disagree:

Apple did not lower the prices enough.

Back in June the gossip was that Apple was lowering prices on their Macbooks. Everyone was a flutter with a possibly “affordable” machine. But in the end, the reality was that the Intel Dual core laptop started at $999. If you wanted a more affordable Mac – The mini only costs $599.

Now if you compare that to a PC Laptop – 2.66 Dual core with 2 GB DDR3 memory and 250GB hard drive, you will find that price is at about $700. It is said that 30% of the macbook sale is profit. That is about $300 for the Apple name and OS. Apple is expected to have sold about 3 million new machines in this quarter alone, meaning $300 million in sales – or (if numbers stayed the same year round) $1.2 Billion.

Before we move forward – I realize that Apple has to answer to investors. Making profit is key, especially in this economy. However, this last year and a half has not been good to some. Most companies have tried to lower prices so people can buy more and re-stimulate the economy.

Apple didn’t do anything viable for the average consumer.

If they would have done the same thing as with the original Macintosh, then I would be more sympathetic to the cause. Basically, Apple – Back in 1985 – started a program to build, or even rebuild school computer rooms. I was lucky enough to go to a High school that had received 30 Macintosh Classics from this program.

But in this go-around they didn’t. They pretty much profited the money from the sales.

I am all for making a profit in any economy. PC manufacturers would always complain that the problem with building computers was they would only make a couple dollars from selling because the competition was so high. That is why companies made support plans – to make some extra cash on a sale.

My problem lies with the fact that a low end Macbook is not affordable to the average consumer. That is why Microsoft made the PC hunter commercials. A Mac for $1000 whereas a PC Notebook for $500. Yes, it might have a slightly slower processor to it, but will the average consumer actually notice a500 Mhz difference? We could also talk about how AMD processors would match the speed and keep the price low. But let’s not get into THAT argument.

Add to it Apple’s other interests, like iPhone sales, which are great. It costs them $179 to build a 16 GB model. Now while you are saying “That’s OK, I only paid $199 for the phone”, the reality is you didn’t. AT&T picked up the difference for the exclusivity. A $400 difference.

Here is how it works – AT&T pays Apple a monthly fee per phone on their system. So within 2 years, AT&T will pay Apple around $400 for your phone ($12-15 per month). Making Apple about $400 on your $179 iPhone ($600 in total). Of course, if you buy the phone outright, it will cost you $499.

Now we will talk stocks: This last week, Apple shares rose to $209 – the highest they’ve ever been. Why is that? No other reason than the fact that a rumor is going around about a Tablet that might be coming.

Really?

I could go on with numbers, but I think I made my point. Apple could have easily dropped a Macbook to $700, and a Macbook Pro to $900. They would have then sold Apple care for $70 a year and still made a tidy profit.

So the rumor of the Tablet is it will sell for $600. I would venture a guess to say it will be more $800 (if this rumor comes true). Why? Because Apple doesn’t want to “Cheapen” the computer experience for anyone. And they certainly don’t want to lighten the pocketbooks.

IDC Predicts Big Change in IT and Telecoms

Posted by Andrew at 4:37 AM on December 8, 2009

The analysts over at IDC reckon that 2010 is going to be a year of “recovery and transformation”. On the recovery side, they’re expecting global IT spending to increase by 3.2%, returning to 2008 levels but a large chunk of this spending is going to occur in the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China.

But more interestingly, the transformation part is going to be increased adoption of cloud services and the arrival of “enterprise-grade cloud services” and complementary application platforms. IDC thinks this will be the most important development for the next 20 years particularly when linked in with the growth in mobile devices.

Regarding mobile, IDC sees these competing with PCs as user’s main devices, with over 1 billion mobile devices, fuelled by increasing adoption of smartphones and Apple’s iPad tablet. They predict over 300,000 iPhone apps and 5x growth in Android apps. Interestingly, they also predict “apps stores” for netbooks, which I think has already been evidenced by moves from Intel.

Other predictions include “socialytic” apps which mashup business apps with social networks, further reductions in CO2 through IT solutions and more mergers, acquisitions and partnerships.

Personally, I think the cloud services linked to mobile devices is right on the money. I’ve recently started using a Palm Pre and it links to several on-line services including Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote. Looking at just Google, there are connections to Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reader and I’m expecting Tasks, Documents and Notebook to be available before long. So I’m already living in the cloud and I love it.

The whole press release is over at IDC.

Sigh. I mean, Psystar – nice try. Apple wins.

Posted by Jeffrey Powers at 10:56 AM on November 15, 2009

Well, a Federal judge ruled and Psystar lost their case. Apple has definitely shown the hand of God here. But the real question is: Will it be the end of it? Hopefully not.

On Friday, Judge William Alsup sided with Apple that Psystar has indeed violated the End User License Agreement (EULA). He ruled that installation of the Mac OS on non-Apple hardware is not allowable. Therefore, Psystar must discontinue their line of Mac clones. Finally, he ruled that Psystars’ counter claims are not arguable since Psystar altered the Mac software to run on other machines.

And now I will quote:

Today we celebrate a glorious anniversary of the information purification directives we have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!

Confused on where that is from? Well, it’s “Big Brother” from the 1984 Superbowl ad by Apple. It is followed by:

…You’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984…

That is true. 2009 will be like 1984. Little did George Orwell know, but he was writing about Apple 25 years later…

Just like everyone else, I agree with the ruling. Psystar had to alter the program to run on another machine, therefore they should have to pay. But just because that happened, doesn’t mean Hackintosh is going away. Just underground. Apple won the battle – not the War.

I still think that if Apple put out a OSXPC version, put a price on it and followed with “No support”, people would flock. The independent PC support person would then be asked upon to learn and understand so they can fix these problems. Apple wins by adding a new revenue stream and also because it’s creating new jobs. We get an unsupported system for $129, but it might lead to our next computer purchase being an Apple product.

As for Psystar, maybe they’ll appeal, but most likely Apple will take the company down. Welcome to the corporate world. R.I.P. Psystar.

Will online media become a monthly subscription?

Posted by Nolan at 8:43 AM on November 3, 2009

Rumors are circling that Apple is proposing an online TV media subscription model. For just $30/month you could possibly have access to the archive of syndicated shows and the new shows as they come. Later in the day I read of a favorite tutorial site, which shall remain nameless until I do a proper review, was bumping its fees to about $15/month. Many of my favorite podcasts have donation links on their site for $2/month or so. Please understand, I am a believer in paying for labor. I am just beginning to wonder when this evolving online monthly subscription model will break.

Some people believe a service like Apple’s would get rid of the need for Cable or Dish and save some money. I don’t see that. The streaming system is not ready for the high-def load and most people will keep the Cable and Dish for their instant viewing. For those that jump into the online media, how many monthly payments do you want to sign up for? I just can’t keep signing up for more monthly payments. The inflation on monthly tech and media services is getting pretty high.

Cable and Dish consolidated traditional media into a monthly package. What about online media? It will forever and always be a mix of traditional and common man media. How many packages can I pick up? One traditional media package, ten small media packages, one cell phone media package. . . A revolution in content delivery is underway and will continue to occur, I just wonder where and on what there will be a price tag.

No more Hackintosh Netbook?

Posted by angelo at 9:57 PM on November 2, 2009

Well apparently according to some sources like PCWorld, the newest update of Snow Leopard will kill the Hackintosh. 10.6.2 will not run on the ATOM processor, therefore knocking out all the instruction sets for any netbook running that version. Therefore, you will have to stay in a lower level to keep the machine running.

I really don’t understand why Apple is so Anti-hack. iPhone bricks – Palm Pre doesn’t get iTunes – now the hobbiest is not allowed to play? What’s next: controlled net neutrality? (you think I’m kidding, but I would guess if Apple had it’s way, there would be an iNternet)

We get it, Apple: You had the contracts with UMax and Motorola. Macintosh clones of ten years ago where you pulled those licenses. You even go against Psystar so they don’t profit off your work. But going against the tinkerer? Going against the core Geek?

Remember Apple – you run on an Open Source architecture in FreeBSD. While I’m not saying you should Open the OS, you might find that giving people the option may turn them to Apple products faster. They will flock to something they are used to. What is to stop someone from writing code that could closely mimic the Apple OS? What about someone that just writes code to make an OS that could Rival MacOS? Android, perhaps?

And while I will not cry Antitrust on this, I do have to ask the question: Why would I go with something that is so closed? I am wondering if they should re-review their 1984 commercial where the woman ran down the aisle with a hammer to smash out conformity. Who would have thought the old guy on the screen was Apple itself?

BTW – there is no mention on if these instruction set changes will affect any desktop Hackintosh system. You might just be safe….

…for now…

An E-Library for E-Books

Posted by Nolan at 11:50 PM on November 1, 2009

Another e-book reader is rumored to be in the works and this one is by Creative. And the promises are broad with a color screen, media, music, the moon. Of course this is right on the heels of Barne’s and Nobles Android powered e-book. Did I forget Apple who has long been rumored to be working on a tablet style device that will reinvent media once again? I confess that I put more faith in Apple’s ability to bring success, if I have any at all.

I have fingered the Kindle and I have browsed the iPhone/iPod Touch e-reader applications. And I still don’t own, or have plans to own an e-reader. Why? Books are expensive. Buying and e-reader so I can buy e-books is still expensive. If I am tempted to read after a day at work and at the computer, I don’t want to look at another digital screen. If I need something to read, I hesitate to pull the trigger on a $12 book that I will finish in a week. I’m struggling.

Could or should there be a reinventing of the library? Your town probably still has one. It is an old technology where you can check out books for free (or a nominal membership fee), and then bring them back. I must admit I’m shocked that the print industry didn’t sue the libraries for lost profit years ago. What about a library system for e-books? Could it work? How? Amazon allows two Kindle’s to share a single account, and that works great for family. Apple is demonstrating the technology with its online video rental system. You rent it, download it, and then it disappears. Certainly it could be done. I would even pay to rent a book.

Well Creative, I hope your e-reader convinces me, but I’m not sure it’s possible without a revamp from the print industry. Maybe Apple will come through and convince me to pay $700 for a tablet so I can purchase really snazzy media to read, but I don’t see it.

Just Killing Time with iTunes

Posted by susabelle at 7:13 AM on October 28, 2009

Last night, I spent the better part of three hours making adjustments to my iTunes library. I have three computers I use regularly, all with iTunes installed. I only have one iPod, and I use it on all three machines. I kept my manually-managed music library on one of the desktop computers, and I did all the podcast syncing automatically from my laptop. Then at work I have iTunes on my desktop so I can plug in my iPod and listen to whatever while I’m at work. This worked well for the last couple of years, until the most recent updates to iTunes. For whatever reason, all three machines thought they suddenly needed to sync podcasts, and when I plugged the iPod into my work computer, it wiped out all podcasts and put old ones on the iPod instead. I turned that off, then found the laptop was attempting to update playlists automatically. I turned that off as well. But in the meantime, my iPod had gotten pretty discombobulated, and I couldn’t find anything I was looking for.

Ergo, my three hour adventure last night trying to get everything re-arranged. First, I backed up my iTunes music on a portable hard drive and then transferred them to the laptop. Then I spent many tedious minutes manually updating music onto the iPod that had disappeared. After three hours, I gave up and went to bed. Too many songs were still giving me the dreaded exclamation point (“I can’t find this song, want me to find it for you?”) even though I knew they were on both iTunes on the laptop and on the iPod itself.

So this morning, I went all rash and bold and just auto-synced the iPod to iTunes on the laptop. I clicked “yes” when it gave me the “all playlists on your iPod will be deleted,” gritted my teeth, and let it go. Ten minutes or so later, I had the iPod ejected and working.

So far, so good, but it’s still early in the day.

What bugs me is how long this took me. I had wanted to remain manually in control of what got updated on the iPod, but it seems that that option is not time-effective, much less good for my temper. This was partially iTunes fault, partially my fault for wanting to control it manually, but also Windows Vista’s fault. It was more a matter of trying to get to all the music on my hard drive, not all of which was in iTunes, than anything else. Every time I would add a song, I would have to navigate to it through multiple steps, and for that, I blame Vista. I don’t get all my music through the iTunes store; some is from Amazon’s MP3 store, some from eMusic, some from my own CD’s. One thing I’ve had a complaint about Vista all along is how file explorer works. No “back” or “up one level” button like I used to have on XP, so there’s a ton of clicking and clicking. And explorer’s need to default to “my documents” and the equivalents just REALLY bugs me. Clickity clickity click just to get to somewhere, when if it were just on the C: drive, it would be easier. But no, it’s c:/Users/Usernames/My Documents/Music/ or some such other convoluted place.

No wonder users are frustrated and can’t figure out where to find things. Hopefully, I don’t have to do this again any time soon! Although I have realized that I’ve lost several of my podcast feeds on iTunes, and need to figure out what they were and get them set up again. Grumble.

Apple and Google have lost that lovin’ feeling

Posted by Nolan at 5:45 AM on October 1, 2009

It was a perfect relationship to start. The sharing of information, mutually beneficial partnerships, an alliance against the Dark Force of Microsoft. What a perfect marriage. Apple and Google. Google loved Apple products and Apple loved Googles information. That lovin’ feeling was oh so strong. And then something happened.

Google announces they are building an phone operating system (Android). Then Google announces the development of a desktop operating system. In a marriage that is like going from a single checkbook to independent checkbooks. How long before trust became an issue in this marriage? Not long. Soon anti-trust allegations of Google and Apple being too familiar in the corporate world were surfacing. Separation seemed an unavoidable possibility that soon became reality. Google’s CEO moved out of the board room at Apple. Trust is so important in a relationship. Evidently as friendly as these companies seemed to be, they were keeping many secrets from each other.

Right on the heals of the separation comes the new that Apple is rejecting Googles Latitude application from the iPhone because it infringed on Apple’s default program Maps. Isn’t Maps driven from Google’s database? We thought so, but perhaps not for long. You see the most recent sign that the divorce is inevitable came today. Apple has purchased Google’s lesser known mapping competitor Placebase.

Well, my timeline and details may not be exact but the rumors and stories of movie stars never are. This is feeling like a sad rerun of “John & Kate Plus Eight”. How long until Apple cuts Google out of the show? Indeed that lovin’ feeling is gone, gone, gone, oh oh ohhhhh.
