Episode 4....Bento


The makers of FileMaker have released a preview of a new application called Bento. It’s labeled as “personal database software” for managing all aspects of your life from contacts and events to inventory and expenses.
It’s currently a pre-release trial version, meaning your trial will eventually expire, forcing you to purchase Bento if you intend to keep your data. The trial looks to last around 90 days at this point which, we assume, will coincide with an official launch of the product.
We have to admit that Bento looks quite promising thus far. FileMaker is specifically targeting the “personal use” users, as opposed to businesses, with dozens of pre-made templates and simplistic interface. It seems they’ve taken their wildly popular FileMaker software and cut the fluff down so that the average user can get up and running quickly.
Bento divides data into “Libraries”. You can choose from a set of 23 different pre-built libraries that cover just about ever category imaginable of data that could be put in a database. Everything from an Exercise Log to Vehicle Maintenance to Home Inventory is available to jump right in to.
All of the libraries can be customized to fit your needs. The small problem that Bento has is the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the default visual design of the templates though this may be available in a future release.

We suggest giving it a try.

Episode 3...Leopard

This post will be dedicated to the new launch of Leopard, the new version of the Mac OS X. It was put on sale on the 26th of October after a lot of advertisements. I think the best ways would be to watch the guided tour, which is perfectly done by the people of apple and it explains everything you should know from the basics of it. Which by apple is one of the best updates ever with more than 300 new features like, time machine, spaces and boot camp, just to mention a few. Now you will see on the guided tour the exact features and with a very comprehensive explanation. That is why I'll leave you with it, which I recommend that you watch them. It is long but worth it, mind that the videos are not arranged in order, you should watch the first one, the third one and lastly the second one.

Episode 2...IPOD

iPod is a brand of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple and launched in October 2001. The line-up currently consists of the original style hard drive-based flagship iPod classic, the iPhone-like iPod touch, the mid-level video-capable iPod nano, and the low-end screenless iPod shuffle. Former products include the compact iPod mini (replaced by the iPod nano) and the high-end spin-off iPod photo (re-integrated into the main iPod classic line). iPod classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models, aside from the Microdrive-based mini, use flash memory to enable their smaller size. As with many other digital music players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices.
Apple's iTunes software is used to transfer music to the devices. As a jukebox application, iTunes stores a music library on the user's computer and can play, burn, and rip music from a CD. It also transfers photos, videos, games, and calendars to those iPod models that support them. Apple focused its development on the iPod's unique user interface and its ease of use, rather than on technical capability. As of September 2007, the iPod had sold over 110 million units worldwide (stated in "The Beat Goes On" conference) making it the best-selling digital audio player series in history
