Prosoft Picture Rescue 2 – Review

May 29, 2014March 4, 2025 Camera, Features, Macintosh, Photography, Review 0

There are many ways to lose your digital photos. The easiest way is to format your camera’s memory card, which erases everything and makes room for new images. You can also lose files when something goes awry while transferring file from your camera to your computer. Sooner or later, many of us discover that we want some of those erased photos back. That’s when you should reach for Picture Rescue 2, a utility that scans your SD card and reconstructs any files that haven’t been overwritten by new files.

If I had to describe a quality headphone, it would beÂ the V-Moda M-100. When I first received this product I was in awe of how well the packaging and headphone were put together, just as I was with the V-Moda LP2. I feel a sense of quality when I come in contact with V-Moda’s products.

May 6, 2014March 8, 2025 Apps, Features, iOS, iPad, iPhone 0

I met and interviewed the co-founder and CEO of vipOrbit, Mike Muhney, at Macworld 2014. He’s the co-inventor of ACT!, a popular customer relationship management application that was revolutionary for its time, 1987. Mike’s newest venture, vipOrbit, was developed to address the poorly designed contact apps available on the iPhone.

Intensify Pro is a photo editing application for Macs with a seemingly magical ability to make pictures pop with vibrant colors and razor sharp focus. While it has some shortcomings, it is still an amazing application that you can use as a standalone or as a plug-in for Aperture, Lightroom, and Photoshop.

I got your innovation…right HERE!

April 22, 2014March 8, 2025 Features, Opinion 0

People say Apple hasn’t innovated in a long time (mostly non-Apple users and analysts looking for page views) but maybe they have and most people just haven’t caught on yet. Continuing on their strengths as a mobile platform, Apple’s iOS is getting ready to take the mobile audio world by storm and doing it in a very unApple way.

The World’s Oldest Apple Dealer’s Final Day

March 30, 2014March 7, 2025 Features 1

It all started in 1941. Maury and Betty Zuckman opened a little radio repair shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1977 a brand new company named Apple Computer struck its first ever dealership agreement for sales of the Apple II with the then-named Team Electronics. By 1987 FirstTech, which switched names two years before, dropped sales of stereo equipment in favor of becoming a full time Apple dealer. Now, on March 29, 2014, FirstTech’s doors have closed forever. A victim of increasing pressure from national retailers and service providers. 37 years as an Apple Specialist, 73 in total, was a pretty darn good run.

Day 1 is about to wrap up, and frankly, I’m exhausted! So, rather than describe my day, I’ll share a few pictures. The audio interviews I did, and will do tomorrow, will be in the next few MyMac podcasts, in addition to the 3 Geeky Ladies podcast. Enjoy!

And So It Begins…Macworld/iWorld 2014

March 27, 2014March 7, 2025 Apple, Features, Macworld Expo 0
