10 tips for new Mac users, switching from Windows...

17th July 2006

apple / software / tips

Being the sort of guy who likes to use keyboard shortcuts rather than having to reach for the mouse all the time, I felt a bit hostile once I got my new Macbook Pro. I knew how to do task X or Y on Windows with a few keystrokes, but having moved to Mac OS X (read 10 not X, as I made the mistake!), I found myself feeling annoyed that I didn't know my way around the OS smoothly.

So I searched the Internet to find out about some of the more obscure shortcuts. Below I've listed and explained some shortcuts that a new Mac user, especially those coming from a Windows environment, may not be aware of. It's definitely made my life easier, hopefully you're a new mac user, these will be of use.

The Omen 666 - Short Film Review...

24th June 2006

movies / reviews

Ok, so this is the second post related to 666! But what can I do, I watched the Omen on Wednesday! Was it scary? Not really! I haven't seen the original 1976 Omen, so can't compare the two! But I've heard that the original was scary!
