Watch and Use Hulu, iTunes and TV Networks Outside the US
Here’s a free program/service that I found off “A New Mac Tip Everyday” Blog to help everyone who’s ever tried to watch iTunes, Hulu or the websites from the TV Networks (NBC, ABC, Fox, etc) from outside the US. If you are outside the US, all of the sites mentioned block you from watching shows. […]

Apple (at Macworld this week) announced that iTunes will no longer “protect” their music with Digital Rights Management (DRM). Now they even give you an option to upgrade the songs that you’ve already purchased in the past to the new DRM Free version (it’s under the far right side in iTunes under Quick Links, where […]

Ask any of my family or friends, and they’ll tell you that I always recommend Picasa to help manage pictures and Picasa Web Albums to help share them.

Using a Network Share for Apple Time Machine
I found these useful articles about using a network share with Apple Time Machine (Apples built-in backup feature). http://rajeev.name/blog/2007/11/03/time-machine-with-smb-and-nfs-shares/ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5918065� There appears to be some issues with using a network share once it runs out of space, as the backups are not pruned correctly from what I can tell from the posts. There is a […]
Outlook 2007 versus Entourage 2008
I do like Entourage 2008. It has a “Mac Feel” to it which fits in nice with other programs. It’s very easy to use. I also like that you don’t have to VPN into work in order to use mail, as it can use your OWA (Outlook Web Access) connection and credentials. Just use “mail.yourcompany.com” […]
