I am giving Marsedit 3.0 a try. I have been using Marsedit for a while now on all my blogs and it’s a great tool.

If you are into photography like I am you will be glad to know that Apple released Aperture 3.0 a couple of days ago.

You can download and try it for free for thirty days.

Have fun!

I’ve opened an account with Carbonite.com to handle off-site backup. Unfortunately at 1 Mbps upload speed it will take one year before my initial backup is complete.

I have close to 500 Gb of pictures and close to that in video files.

It may be a better solution to buy a big disk and store the off-site backup at work.

I know that it would not protect me against nuclear explosions and earth quakes but at least it would decrease the probability of seeing all my stuff burning if there’s a fire at my place.

I am running Google Chrome beta for Mac and I am finding it way faster than Safari. It loads fast and the whole system seems to be running faster as I assume that Google Chrome memory requirements are smaller than Safari’s.

Worth the try even though Google Chrome beta for Mac is still missing features available on its windows counterpart such as bookmarks sync, extensions and full screen browsing.

Very promising and worth a try as competition is always a good thing.

Another day another Mac Problem.

If you configure your Address Book to sync with both Google Contacts and Mobile me then this is what some of your contacts may look like on your Address Book:

Does anybody have a similar problem?

Can’t you sync your address book with Google Contacts and Mobile Me at the same time? Really?

I am having a couple of problems that I am not being able to resolve.

Problem # 1 is that iWeb crashes on my kid’s iMac as soon as we open it.

I ran disk utility and got it to repair permissions but that did not resolve the issue.

Problem # 2 is that I added a contact through the contacts app on my iPhone and despite the fact that I can see it on the iPhone the contact information does not flow to Address Book on my Mac after I sync the iPhone with my Mac via iTunes.

I’ve tried the sync a few times and yes I have all the proper check box marked on iTunes info tab.

Any clues?

I am wondering if I found another couple of bugs or if I am having issues in the interface between the chair and the keyboard.

The MacHeist folks have another free software promotion in exchange for some advertisement of their services via your Facebook account.

This time they will give you a copy of VirusBarrier X5 which includes a six months free subscription to their virus definition system.

Personally I am going to continue to believe that my Mac is immune to viruses but in case you’re worried about that then this is a great opportunity to get some free software. to help you protect your Mac.
