So this is the deal, I love my macbook a lot its probably the best laptop I have ever had but sometimes I just get pissed off. I just found out that the dvd drive in the laptop is region coded and that you are only allowed to change region 4 times. What the hell is this??? What if you are traveling a lot and you buy dvds all over the world does this mean that you are not allowed to do this. Seriously that is just lame. I bought a few movies now while I am over in the states and I would love to watch if that means that I cant watch them on my macbook just because it is set up for europe that sucks. Apple you just lost one star….

So Apple announced the release of their new ipad, finally. What is it? Well lets just say that even if you have a good macbook and a good iphone but you still feel that there is something missing, why don’t you take an macbook and turn it into an iphone? Pretty good idea (Alteast in apples case). Personally I fail to see the point to buy an ipad if you already have a macbook and an Iphone even if it has an affordable price. Of course it is an apple product and probably the coolest one they have released so far but is it really worth buying one? screw it! I will buy one even if it will probably not make my life happier. It has word processing software, ability to watch movies in HD, store your photos and show your friends, a wonderful calendar and the best web browsing experience since Netscape beta. To see the video of the ipad go to www.apple.com
So this is the deal. In the united states you dont earn a lot of money if you are a waiter or waitress. Some can even earn as little as 2 dollars an hour. Instead the system is built on that the customers pays tip. The tip is usually in between 16 – 20 % of the total cost. I thought about building a smart tip calculator that will calculate the perfect tip for you and had some time over today. I am sure that there are plenty of other much better versions out there on the internet but this was mainly for fun and to learn more about php forms. This v1.0 is still not perfect and doesnt take all the facts into consideration but its always a start.
Now a days it is becoming more and more popular to have all your tools available online. Pixlr is a free online image editing and graphics software very similar to photoshop. As long as you have a good internet connection this software will allow you to have access to a great editor where ever you are. You will find it at http://www.pixlr.com/editor
At the moment I am trying to improve my skills in Excel and VBA. I know it is not the best language to code in and the structures suck to make anything optimal with but since it is the official tool to use in the office I have been trying to learn it better. Just got int VBA and I am finding it very interesting. I will post some examples of cool things you can do with your spreadsheets later.
I got a question asking on how you can comment om my gallery photos. To do this you need to register a google account which is really simple and fast. There are multiple ways of doing this. Two of them are that you either register a gmail account (recommended) or you register a google account through picasa. As soon as you have a google account set up you can access a great email tool, a great calendar, web phot albums, google maps etc. It is the best provider of almost everything web based!
