The Social Mac (NEW!!)

On August 31, 2010, in Apple, Mac, Social Media, Twitter, by Marilyn

For the past year and a half we have been working on our small business using Social Media to get our voice out to the world. Recently we are making a more concerted push than ever. I’m not going to lie to you, it’s work and my main investment has been my time. There are thousands of tools out there, most free, some paid, which do you use? What’s the best reach for my audience? How do you streamline all these different channels so I spend the least amount of time to get the biggest impact. These are things I’m doing for mac-fusion, why not share it with you? Why not help you run your business on the Mac and promote it too? So with this thought I would like to introduce to you:

iPad Case Mini Reviews from The People

On August 20, 2010, in Apple, Mac, Review, iPad, by Marilyn

I would love to be able to buy every iPad case that looks interesting, unfortunately they are a bit more expensive so it would be hard to justify. Luckily I have access to quite a few Twitter friends that are willing to share their quick takes on cases they are using. If you’ve tried a case that’s not listed here go ahead and email macfusiongirl@mac-fusion.com your Mini Review and I’ll add it to this post. Also check out the iPhone 4 case mini review post.

As much as I would like to try every case available for my new iPhone it starts to add up after awhile. Not to mention that it gets a bit disappointing. One of the worst things about a new iPhone redesign is it means you have to wait awhile for quality cases to be made as the first ones out weren’t actually tested on the real device. This can mean ill fitting cases, openings not quite right, looseness and other issues. After buying my second case I thought I would throw it out to Twitter to see what they like and get their pros and cons for the cases they tried. If you’ve tried a case that’s not listed here go ahead and email macfusiongirl@mac-fusion.com your Mini Review and I’ll add it to this post.

I just decided that I’m going to try and do all of my blog posts pics and videos only using Apple tools. This means using my iPhone 4, iMovie, Keynote and of course my beloved MacBook Pro. One of the things I needed first was a way that I could get my iPhone onto a tripod.

I’m fairly sure the boss needs to be committed at this point, but he just instructed us to put the MacBook Air on ebay at $1 starting bid with NO RESERVE. This machine is pristine, I know, as it was under my care and not used nearly as often as it should have been. If you are at all interested I say get in there quickly and bid as this is only a 3 day auction.

PS- for those of you that say this sounds familiar, it’s the same MacBook Air that we had up before but someone did the “buy now” option and then attempted to scam us with a fake phishing paypal email.

 

Interview:: Rob aka @AppleSpotlight

On August 9, 2010, in Interview, Mac, Twitter, mac-fusion, by Marilyn

If you found this interview from my twitter link then most of you are probably already following Apple Spotlight… if you’re not, go do that now. Apple Spotlight is one of the most trusted sources of Apple news links, tips and tricks you can find on Twitter. In just under a year an a half he his followers have grown to nearly 14,000 people. Rob is incredibly down to earth. He is a self proclaimed ultimate Apple Fanboy. He loves all things Apple and has taking to sharing it with the world with no direct gain for himself. He’s not making money off of it. He’s not getting anything free for doing it. No hits to sell advertising with. Just a man that loves Apple and wants to pass that love on to other like minded people. I’m going to admit that I have a bit of a fangirl like admiration for him. I not only had the privilege of him agreeing to my interview questions via email, we wrapped it up with a phone interview.

Interview:: Matt of Matt’s Macintosh

On August 4, 2010, in Mac, by Marilyn

I first became aware of Matt on Twtter. He doesn’t tweet much but when he does it’s always of interest. Matt has a crazy collection of classic Apple tech and makes some of the best looking videos on YouTube. He has amassed almost 600 followers on Twitter and nearly 4,500 subscribers to his YouTube channel. In addition to making nostalgic Apple videos he shares his tips and tricks on how he gets them to look so great. Most recently he shared how he made his time lapsed Magic Trackpad video using iMovie. Matt was nice enough to agree to a few questions.

The Ultimate PC to Mac Switcher

On August 2, 2010, in Apple, Mac, Microsoft, by Marilyn

Most of you know that the term “switcher” is a term that we use to describe someone that was using a PC and has moved to the Mac. What do you call someone that went from representing Microsoft to working at an Apple Retail store? That’s just what our friend Chris did. Here’s Chris’ story in his own words::

Custom Gelaskins for iPad and iPhone 4

On July 30, 2010, in Mac, iPhone 4, by Marilyn

I ordered my iPhone 4 with a bumper thinking that would be all I needed. Quickly I realized that I was getting nervous having two sides exposed and nude. Saw a TUAW post on how to mod your black iPhone 4 to make it white and found my solution. Gelaskins.com has tons of great artwork from talented artists ready for you to purchase. The feature that sold me though was the “Create Your Own”. I started out with mine. I may have went a bit overboard as I didn’t intend for it to get quite as girly as it did. Please note that I never intended to use the front or antenna pieces so I didn’t scale it or bother adding any art to that during my custom configuration:

Apple has come out with a work around for those experiencing antenna problems with their iPhone 4. They will soon offer free bumpers (and other selected cases) or give you a refund on your existing bumper purchase. So if you are NOT having issues do you still do it?

If your iPhone works fine without a case are you still going to ask for a free bumper/refund?
