Cleaning Out Mac With Onyx

As you might know your mac will slow down over time. It does not matter what you do with your mac as long as it is on it will slow down over time. Now don't get scared because it is nothing drastic like windows when you would have to reinstall the OS and you won't have to reinstall OS X either. The thing that happens is overtime files left over from unused programs and caches that never got cleaned pile up on your hard drive. This not only takes up valuable space, but it slows down your overall productivity as well. Now, there are a host of programs to do these tasks as well as you can do it on your on manually. However I am going to be showing you Onyx in this video. Onyx is a free program for doing various things to your mac like maintenance and changing secret settings. You can download Onyx Here. Without further ado, please watch the video below in order to find out how to use this program. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments section.

Quicktip #18- Announce Time OS X

In this quick tip I show you how to make your mac talk to you. Most people don't know this because it is a bit hidden, but you can make your mac announce the time to you. You can set it to announce it on the hour, every 30 minutes, or every 15 minutes. You can also select the specific voice that you want it to use. As you probably could expect the voices don't sound realistic, but it is still a good way to keep track of your time.

Southern Fried Geeks Episode #7

In this episode of Southern Fried Geeks, there was a whole lot going on. In episode 7, we discussed the Microsoft-Yahoo deal. Yes, we know it's old news, but we haven't shot the show in so long! There was lots to talk about, such as Bing and Yahoo mail, which we both had mixed opinions about. Later, I(kung fu gamer) brought my waterproof camera onto the set to do a little dissection, which didn't go as planned as you'll see in the video. I sort of combined the dissection and destroying, but it was still good. Finally, the last thing we discussed was the Did You Know? video which was very informative. Overall, it was a good episode of Southern Fried Geeks and we'll hope you come back for more!

P.S.
We have gotten a new set!!!! We just got rid of the whole table/chair/tv thing, and just transitioned to a new, more relaxed set with fancy chairs.

Koss Earbud Review

Last week I put up an unboxing video for the Koss headphones and now it is time for the review. Keep in mind that I have had these for much longer that 1 week. Thanks to video backlogging on my part most of my content is over a month old. Anyway, I personally think that videos are better for reviews so I am just going to tell you that I am very pleased with these headphones and they have a great sound for the price. To really find out what I think about them watch the video below.
