iPad as Movie Camera – 1. September, 2011

Ever wanted to shoot a film with the most awkward prosumer digital video camera imaginable? If you answered with a confident “yes,” then here you go.

I don’t own an iPad but I gotta ask if you would want to step behind this…

… the next time you shoot something? Well, I guess it’s only a matter of time before we see the first iPad shot/edited feature.

iPad Game Lust – 24. March, 2011

I have no interest in getting an iPad… that is until I heard about this game.

Damn, that looks cool.

Netbook Advice – 22. April, 2010

A while ago I asked if I should get an iPad or a Hackintosh. Now I’ve learned that the best computer to Hackintosh, the Dell Mini 10v, has been discontinued and there’s no clear successor in sight.

My question to you is this: what’s another great computer to Hackintosh? Or is there a great, affordable notebook you’d recommend? What do you think of the…

  • Acer Aspire One D250
  • Samsung N150
  • Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (not a good Hackintosh candidate)

Thoughts?

To iPad or Hackintosh – 3. February, 2010

Like every tech lover out there, the big question is “do I get an iPad?” Maybe you’ll let John August test it for you, maybe you’ll wait until Stu Maschwitz develops this Magic Bullet interface.

Me, I’m not sure. I’d love to have a smaller, lighter version of my laptop, something less crucial to my work which is easier to transport; my life is on my laptop. I’d also love to be able to haul my media with me, have something where I could upload photos, take my writing with me (so I’d need some version of Final Draft and MarsEdit) and surf the web without worrying about leaving personal information on a public computer.

All that said, the iPad is almost there. I wish the OS were more robust and it cost about $200-300 less. So, what other options do I have? Why not a Hackintosh?

I could buy a cheap Dell and hack some OS X onto that sucker. It’s not a bad option but then I can’t upgrade and I’m always circling catastrophic disaster without a life vest because neither Apple nor Dell would be willing to offer me any kind of customer support.

So, what do you think? Should I look into an iPad or a Hackintosh?
