Yesterday I tried to get access to the Apple Store to build a fantastic Mac Pro and compare it with a friend to prove that a self assembled mid tower PC is ALWAYS inferior to a Mac Pro, regardless of the price.
BUT
I did not reach the site. A “Post-It” told me that they were working on some upgrade… I suddenly thought about new products…
And I was right…
As you probably know, I am a backup maniac. I have multiple physical and online backups of all my data, particulary of all my photos and camera clips. And I also use Flickr service to backup all of them and share some of them too. So what happened let me decide about a lot of issues regarding my photos’ management.
Recently I had turned 35 years old, and for my birthday I made to myself an important gift: a Canon Eos 550D. Thanks to 550D photos’ resolution and size, and of Flickr Exif Page, I discovered that all vertical oriented photos of my collection have been modified with quality loss by iPhoto, also photos from the past, and I have uploaded to flickr not the originals but the modified ones. Moreover, now that I shot about one thousand photos for each month, iPhoto library was increasing in dimension very much because of a main big database file. And everytime I modify, add or delete a photo, an album, an event or simply I change something inside iPhoto management, iPhoto rebuilds this file. And this file takes a lot of time to be backed up online with Memopal because was around 10Gb the last time.
Ho scoperto una cosa interessante. Se volete usare un mouse USB programmabile di qualsiasi marca con il vostro Mac ma non avete i driver e vi interessa avere la selezione applicazioni o l’exposé o la dashboard premendo la rotellina od il tasto centrale, dovete semplicemente farvi prestare un mouse a tre tasti Apple da chi ce l’ha, programmarlo secondo le vostre necessità, scollegarlo e collegarci il vostro. Dovrebbe a quel punto funzionare con la precedente programmazione. Idem vale per mouse a più funzioni. Ovviamente per mouse a più di tre tasti non garantisco per gli altri tasti.
Ho potuto verificare personalmente che programmando exposé su click su pallina con Mighty Mouse Wireless e spegnendo poi il bluetooth, qualsiasi mouse a tre tasti anche di marche infime funziona a tre tasti con exposé nel tasto centrale. E questo con qualsiasi funzione io programmi sui tre tasti.
Utile, così non si è più legati a costosi mouse “per mac”.
