iPod Touch 3g Unboxing

After using my 1st generation iPod Touch for close to three years, I have now gotten a new one for Christmas. This is the thirty-two gigabyte model and I have to say I love having the extra space as the old one was only six gigabytes. This is just an unboxing video, but there will be a review coming sometime this summer from Southern Fried Geeks. I will be alternating between a tutorial and an unboxing until I run out of unboxings. However, your opinion is important to me, so I will ask for it. Do you like the unboxing videos? Do you want me to space them out more? Tell me what you think, and I will try to accommodate it.

Start Screensaver Using Automator

Everyone on Linux will know what I mean when I say lock the screen and start the screensaver. People on a Mac will look at you with a black face. (or at least I think, but hey prove me wrong) Anyway, on a Linux bases OS you can lock the screen, this will basically start the screensaver if you have one set up and require you to enter your password when you go to unlock the screen. On a Mac there is no pre-set way to do this, but you can do it with the powers of Automator. Most people underestimate Automator, and just let it collect dust in the Applications folder. However, I think that every Mac user should have an understanding of what it does and how to use it. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make an application using Automator that will start your screensaver without having to wait for the timer to initiate it on its own. So before I bore you any more with text, please watch the video below to learn how to do this. Oh and by the way if you made it this far in the post good job, I know I probably wouldn't.

Lapel Mic Unboxing

As you might or might not know, I am currently trying to get a tech show off the ground with a friend. The show is Southern Fried Geeks, and I have been mentioning it in the past few videos that I have done. Well in this new year (2010) I I going to really try and get it off the ground, so far we have been doing a bunch of tests just trying to figure out what worked. One thing that we were lacking though, was equipment. So for this Christmas I got quite a few items that will help us out in shooting the show. In this particular case I am unboxing the lapel mic that I am going to use in the show to (hopefully) improve the audio quality. I hope you enjoy, and have a great day.

Magic Mouse Unboxing

So, as most of you probably know, I could be considered a Mac fanboy. Not as much as I used to be, but I still have a bit of a weak spot for the latest gadgets from Apple. Perhaps it is because I have a knack for the latest and greatest, or maybe it is because their hardware is always cutting edge and introduces new things never seen before. The later is the case of this product. A multitouch mouse. The Magic Mouse. This mouse is like a trackpad and a traditional mouse all in one. Now don't get me wrong this mouse is not traditional in any way so, if you are into the original stuff, it is not for you. This mouse is very different and does come with a learning curve, but I do have to say that so far I have been very pleased with it. Now if I could only get it to work on my PC that would be great. The video below is the unboxing video, and there will be a review after I feel I have had enough time with the mouse to actually be thorough. So, enjoy.
