In Homeresque fashion let me say, "doh!" IOS as an operating system is not quite ready for prime time, the battery takes forever to charge, its heavy, and its multitasking functions are handicapped. It will need another couple reiterations before its ready for real work. So...for right now I have a very nice entertainment tablet with a pen that will allow me to e inner artist thats in me in the future (I could have done this just as easily with a decent sketchbook and an array of pencils.) Sigh... It's not a complete waste. The tablet is fast and some tasks on it like going through my Flickr account is much faster. For note taking apps with the pencil, its just gimmicky. I want to like it but I can't really justify the high price for something I used to accomplish with paper and a pen.  Also, the IOS versions of Movies and Garageband are stunted as well and I'm just not used to using them yet. Maybe I will be able to find some workarounds but I just n...

iPad Pro I have been patient and I have waited a long time for my next productivity laptop. I have used macs for about 11 years now. I purchased my last one about 5 years ago: a 13 inch MacBook Pro. I have debated upgrading to a 15 inch but since it is locked down from upgrading the memory the hard drive and more for more money has prevented me. I like tinkering with it and I like that my MacBooks can be futureproofed for about 4 years. However the new MacBooks don't allow that and while it is a bit faster; they look like typewriters to me.  These days it is all about content production and I feel the iPad pro is the all in one solution. If it is fast enough and large enough that is. It looks like it is fast enough and the large number of apps I have purchased can be put to good use on a bigger machine.  I mean VSCO or enlight is more intuitive to me than photoshop and I have never had a problem with iMovie. Now if I can do it all on one machine, there is no need ...

Hello, my name is Dan and I'm an Apple Fanboy. Today, I got this tip from a reader (Thanks Tai). It's on Craigslist and the guy is selling a couple 32 gig iPads in Korea for 920,000 won. The price seems right, but what about the product? Honestly, I'm too much of a chicken to find out. I only buy my Apple gear from legitimate sources or from people I know. Speaking of which, my friend Richard is selling his 13.3 inch macbook with 2.4 processor for 1.1 million. Check out Daveseslcafe for more details. Oh, before, I go back to talking and writing about food- I wanted to talk about the new 4G iPhone. I have been drooling over the pictures all day over at gizmodo. 4G iphone I want it. I've been waiting forever for it (that's why I have my stupid LG Viewty Phone. I know, awful). My iPhone sources have told me that it won't come out this summer like the rest of the world because Apple released their iPhone later than everyone else. It would probably come...
