According to MacRumors and my own iPhone 3GS that’s currently updating (I’m picking up a 4S in two days), Apple has released the anticipated iOS 5 update which is now available through iTunes.

If you’re curious about the changes, I’ve posted the change log that accompanies the update [...]
Monday April 26th, 2010 in Take It From Me. People are always asking me: “You have clients? What do you do for them? Oh, you’re an I.T. consultant? What kind of I.T.? What can you do?”
The main thing to take away is that a consultant is someone who has answers in a specific field. People are always trying to narrow down exactly what [...]
Friday April 2nd, 2010 in Take It From Me. **UPDATE April 14th: Apple has announced a delay due to a large number of sales in the United States. Whereever the bottleneck, Apple is unable to keep up and is delaying the Canadian (and international) release of the iPad by about a month. It’s been also announced that details of the availability will be made [...]
Tuesday March 30th, 2010 in Take It From Me. It’s a documented fact that (and excuse the lack of references, you’ll have to take my word for it) Apple has been on the rise as of late. There are more Macs than there have ever been, and with exciting new announcements about Apple’s iPad, and other looming upgrades to other devices (iPhone, MacBook Pro, [...]
Wednesday March 17th, 2010 in Take It From Me. It seems that with all the new people I meet that I happen to have an extended conversation with, they ask me “So… Marc, what is it you do?” and sometimes it’s less than easy to tell them everything it is that I spend my time on. I’ve always thought of myself as a really [...]
Saturday March 6th, 2010 in Take It From Me. Facebook – FREE This one goes without saying. You’re probably using facebook, and if you have an iPhone you may as well have the Facebook app so you can respond to messages or view them quickly in a pleasant interface. While viewing www.facebook.com is pretty seamless through their ‘mobile’ version, or even the full site [...]
Friday March 5th, 2010 in I Recommend, Take It From Me. I’ve always been a real gadget-guy. Technology opens doors and creates possibilities, facilitates what would otherwise be impossible, or illegal. I thought I’d share not only my hands-free setup, but other gadgets I’m using in the car that are making driving easier, and more of a pleasure.

AppleCare Protection Plan
I’m going to apologize in advance for the lack of visual stimulus, I don’t have any repair invoices to scan, or any helpful aids to break from all the words. I unfortunately have to fit all my experience on the matter in one post, which is unfortunately going to come close to [...]

Apple’s 3GS iPhone
I recently purchased a new 16GB iPhone 3GS, to replace the old 8GB iPhone 3G that I had been using since it’s release in July of 2008. I had long been coveting the upgrade, and was a little reluctant because I expect a new iPhone to be launched this June 2010, only [...]
Friday January 22nd, 2010 in Take It From Me. During my brief time at Apple, it was this question that I probably answered more than any other. Sometimes they’d be referring to the iMac (the all-in-one desktop unit), the Macbook, Macbook Pro, or Macbook Air (the laptop selection), or perhaps the iPhone/iPod (portable phone and music players); nevertheless, some answers applied to all three, [...]

Wednesday January 13th, 2010 in Take It From Me. I use the internet a lot – every day. Anytime I need to look something up, or I need an answer; It’s no secret that it’s a tremendously useful resource, but I’m certain there are people out there who don’t use it to it’s full potential.
