影相白痴專用DSLR: Nikon D3000

自從多年前嘅Fuji S4 Pro陰影之後, 一直都唔敢玩DSLR, 自問冇影相天份. 再加上見有小部份人用左貴貴嘅DSLR影出嚟D相仲差過普通DC, 又或者只係一味只係用Auto mode………直到最近見到Nikon嘅D3000, 雖然佢只係入門單反, 但係佢勝在有個叫Guide Mode嘅教你點影相模式, 啱晒我依個影相白痴. 之前響鋪頭已經玩過勁多次同勁耐, 依期瘋葉國Nikon減價, 又有比其他牌子長嘅保養, 終於入手成為由細個就好鐘意有黃色相機帶嘅機主. 希望我會學識得點用佢同影到靚相啦. ^^"

Palm Pre短試

終於有機會試玩Palm Pre, 響Bell Store度玩左勁耐, 耐到佢個staff想趕我走 ^^"

對Palm Pre本來真係有好大期望, 想當年Palm都幾紅架, 都有好多人用Palm handheld. 不過後期比M$果D cheap PocketPC玩殘左, 佢地自己果D hardware同software又唔爭氣, 股價直下......今次Palm回歸, 請左勁多前Apple顧員, 要打做一部iPhone killer.

點之期望越大, 失望越高...... 先講硬件, 手感唔掂, 真機竟然感覺勁似dummy機. 個畫面又細, 本來3.2"唔可以真係好細, 但係佢個OS上面條menu bar做左黑色, 又做晒圓角咁, 俾人感覺個畫面得好似得返3"咁. 佢另外個賣點係有個有制嘅真keyboard, 不過真係嘥氣, 勁難禁, 同Blackberry冇得比, 係差好多果隻....... 到軟件, 個web browser同Google Maps都冇iPhone上果D禁好用. 成個OS冇果種簡單同user friendly嘅感覺. 佢另一個software主要賣點係multi-tasking, 將每個你開左嘅software做成card, 用之前我本來都覺得係個唔錯嘅idea, 用落之後我只係覺得ok, 唔足夠做到成為一個大賣點, 因為當你開到5-6個cards嘅時候, 部機已經開始感覺到慢, 仲要果D唔做話係好似3D game禁大食嘅apps. 唔係個個人都好有首尾話用完唔用個app會自己quit左佢架(but that's what multi-tasking is meant for?!?!). 仲有開左禁多apps會好食電架喎. 所以以暫時嚟講multi-tasking都仲唔可以吸引到我. 我相信總有一日有人會諗到比card更加好嘅idea, 仲有要等埋更省電嘅dual or mulit core嘅ARM CPU先至夠完美. 暫時個solution都唯有係靠push notification.

都係果句, 對Palm Pre好失望, 用左成team前Apple人, 有iPhone做抄集對像, 結果都係得D咁嘅野. 睇吓Palm個股價同Pre嘅零售價就知今次Pre有幾成功啦.....我最欣賞佢嘅就只係果舊Touchstone叉電..... 睇嚟要做到iPhone嘅level睇嚟都係要交俾Google Andriod 2.0. 唔怪之得tech界D人成日講, 今時今日當你提到新科技, 大家第一時間就只會諗起Google同Apple~

瘋葉國好野!!!

今日蘋果出左好多新玩具, 大家都會將注意力放響新21" / 27" iMac, MacMini, MacMini Server, Magic Mouse, MacBook, 甚至新Apple Remote, Wireless Keyboard, AirPort Extreme, 或者Time Capsule身上...... 不過如果你都係住響加拿大你會多一份喜悅, 就係由於加幣今期走勢強勁, 全線MacBook都有價減!!!

MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.26GHz: $1399 → $1299
MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.53GHz: $1749 → $1599

MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.53GHz: $1999 → $1799
MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.66GHz: $2299 → $2099
MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.80GHz: $2599 → $2399

MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.80GHz: $2899 → $2599

MacBook Air 1.86GHz 120 GB: $1749 → $1599
MacBook Air 2.13GHz 128 SSD: $2099 → $1899

MacBook 2.26GHz: $1150 → $1099

正正啱晒我下個月入傳聞中嘅新MacBook Pro! Yeah~~~

新keyboard A1314!?!

Engadget早幾日響FCC網度發現Apple新bluetooth keyboard同mouse嘅申請蹤影..... 新mouse就預左架啦, 好有機會會加入Mulit-Touch技術, 之前已經傳左好耐. 我比較對新keyboard有興趣. 照FCC張圖所見, 新keyboard比現有果款仲細. 依家果個已經好細, 點解要再細?! 突然有個奇想, 依個新keyboard可能係個冇制或者得好小制, 成個touchscreen, 除左俾電腦用之外, 佢仲可以俾iPhone/iPod Touch用. 用開iPhone都知, iPhone會隨住軟件自動用上唔同嘅keyboard layout, 如果係touchscreen keyboard咁就啱晒啦. 睇嚟十月份一定會破財, 問題只係大財定細財. Mouse同keyboard就必買, 但係個Apple Event點會得禁小野丫, iMac, MacMini, MacBook都應該會有upgrade. 仲有仲有我等左成年嘅MacBook Pro都有機會響依一兩個月內出新野. ^^

雪豹小貼屎: 開啟64 bit

當大家好開心上晒早兩日推出嘅OSX Snow Leopard之時，不防打一打開"About this Mac" > "More Info..." > "Software", 你會見到System Software Overview裡面嘅64-bit Kernel and Extensions竟然係"No"..... 即係你只係boot入左OSX 32bit mode!!! 如果你係用緊64-bit嘅Intel Mac機可能你會有D失望. 你又或者可能見到其他網站會敎你話開機果陣禁實"6"同"4"說可以boot入64-bit mode, 但係依個方法好煩好唔方便, 因為你要次次開機都咁做. 我有個小tips可以幫到大家, 首先你要好肯定自己部機係行64-bit Intel CPU. 仲有依個方法係要改OS裡面嘅config, 如果你唔明白就唔好亂試. Try at your own risk.

你只需要改依個檔案 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

將本來


改做


咁就次次開機都係入64-bit kernel. 你會發現第一次boot機會明顯地比較慢. 之後又會正常返(or最多慢兩秒, 應該同32-bit唔會有明顯分別).... 之於有人擔心怕可能入左64-bit後會令3rd party software用唔到, 我又唔覺喎, 你估Windows咩, 又分32bit版64-bit版, 用左兩日一切正常. ^_^

大貓就快出籠喇~

Snow Leopard "The world's most advanced operating system. Perfectly optimized.". 好有可能今個月尾推出. US$29 upgrade咋. 我就US$49 upgrade五部. Can't wait. ^^

iMacTablet?!

最近Apple iTablet / MacBook Touch嘅風越吹越勁, 講到真係三個月內實會出. 仲話已經有人見過真機添..... anyway, 照依家大大小小唔同嘅網站推論, 依部所謂iTablet將會係部10"巨形iPod touch, 有自己嘅App Store之類....... 我就有小小自己嘅幻想, 我覺得巨形iPod Touch一D都唔吸引, iPhone都做都晒啦, 要我選擇可以放入衫袋定係10"芒, 我會揀前者嘅方便性. 仲有依期13" MacBook Pro大賣, 賣到唔夠貨, D消費者真係會馬上再選擇只係細3"嘅tablet? 仲有佢地手上可能同時已經有iPhone添...... Apple應該點market依部細tablet呢? 俾D用開17" laptop同desktop果一群? 但係果群係小數喎. 不如出部可以吸引到晒大部份人嘅機啦，不論係現時用緊laptop定desktop嘅人..... 大家仲記唔記得蘋果以下依個專利? iMacTablet?!?! 用laptop嘅人返到屋企有大芒; 用開desktop都可以帶部電腦出街.........
