boomouse Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Another question. I am planning to buy an external dvd. What will be the advantage of mac superdrive from the regular external slim dvd-writer/players (e.g. philips)? It is a bit pricey (almost P2k more) but the slim, slot loading Sony external worked very well for me until Ondoy killed it. I now use a slot loading Samsung which works just as well but not as presentable. Both are USB bus powered however. Quote Link to comment

boomouse Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I see. Price and logo lang pala difference. Thanks again.. My price information is obsolete. Sorry. I was at one of the SM Cybersomething today and saw that the slim USB bus powered DVD external burners were now only P2,750.00. Sony and Samsung brands -- priced the same, both slot-loading.

boomouse Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Any recommended softwares to beef up my presentations? Thanks.. I used to be a Powerpoint user too. But now, I have a lot of MS Office users asking where I got my transitions. I use keynote and make sure I use transitions that Powerpoint does not have. I know it is troublesome if you have to save a ppt version of your presentation to share with Windows users--if you want the distributed file to be as snazzy as your presentation file. I don't. I just give Windows users the complete frames without any transitions. That way, I am sure it will be displayable on their computer no matter what it is. Or I distribute a pdf version. If some one asks for a copy of the 'keynote' then I know he is a mac user so I give him the keynote file. Edited December 23, 2009 by boomouse Quote Link to comment

You can also try the Lusciuous SMS client for OSX here: http://www.luscious-sms.net/. Fair warning – I haven't tested it so I make no claims as to its usability. You can buy a GSM modem in one or two shops in Virra Mall and probably in the Gilmore area too. For bulk sending of SMS, have a look at Luscious. I have also seen a number os APIs that will allow you to automate SMS sending via an Applescript but that's a different story. Quote Link to comment

Do I have to pay for it? Quote Link to comment
boomouse Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 OK sir. Thanks. I am curious on your "other story." Do I have to pay for it? Of course not. It is just 'another story' as in: "I'll try to get around to seeing how to put it together when I find some time." That's all. Quote Link to comment

irvin1130 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Boom any know how on unlocking iphone?my sis from NY visited us last christmas here and left me her iphone sa pangungulit ko. Kaya lng nawala sa loob ko na kelangan nga pala open line kasi lock sa at&t. Quote Link to comment
artvader Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just got another Macbook White (mid 2009 ed. - I hate the unibody one). I think I bought it at bargain price (roughly P43,000). And it already comes with Snow Leopard and the store I bought it from upgraded the RAM from 2GB to 4GB for free. Yey! Quote Link to comment

Kaya lng nawala sa loob ko na kelangan nga pala open line kasi lock sa at&t. In Manila that is easy. In Barcelona… you'll have to look at any of several iphone unlocking services in the web. Google a few, make a shortlist, and send me the URLs of your selection. Lets evaluate them together. Sorry, this is as much as I can do for now. I am not much of a mobile phone user except for calls and SMS (hate the darn things). The only loss I did not regret from Typhoon Ondoy was that of my Windows Mobile HTC phone--a real piece of sh*t, that one. Quote Link to comment
bbadwidme Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm thinking of getting the new white unibody Macbook. While I'll be using it primarily under Snow Leopard, I'm planning on installing Windows 7 on it too for some games. How is it for gaming? Quote Link to comment

About as good as a generic windows PC with an equivalent video card. I suggest you just buy that computer and not a Mac if you will be primarily using it for gaming. Quote Link to comment
sirlet Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hello. Is there anyway to set-up my mac as a server using globe tattoo as my ISP? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

I suggest you just buy that computer and not a Mac if you will be primarily using it for gaming. Actually I still have a desktop PC for gaming. I'm just curious about the gaming aspect of the white macbook since I'll be using it as my mobile PC when I'm not at home (for example, work, vacation, etc). Quote Link to comment
boomouse Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hello. Is there anyway to set-up my mac as a server using globe tattoo as my ISP? Thanks! What kind of server? Files, apps, web services? Or just internet connection sharing? Quote Link to comment
sirlet Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 What kind of server? Files, apps, web services? Or just internet connection sharing? Internet sharing sir. I will use tattoo to my mac then share the Internet to the iPod touch. Quote Link to comment
artvader Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I do that all the time. Just go to preferences, sharing and check the internet sharing checkbox. On the pulldown menu, just select the port that the Tattoo is using (ZTE-something), then click the checkbox for airport. One thing I can say about the Mac: it's super easy to do these things...
