Can Apple Do No Wrong? March 25, 2008
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Tech , add a commentI see so much good press about Apple that it makes me wonder: Can a media outlet be critical of Apple and get away with it? Does Apple cut them off from future events? How can a company do no wrong… ever!?
Before I even start writing, I feel compelled to ensure my personal safety by mentioning that I do like Apple and own several of their products including an iPhone, an iPod Shuffle, a G3 iPod, an Apple TV, a MacBook and an iMac — not to mention a couple of Airport Express routers. So clearly, I like their products.
However, it surprises me that I cannot seem to find any negative press about Apple and really, nothing is that perfect. I see this a lot on Digg — a post about the smallest development from Apple makes it to the front page within 20 minutes whereas a cure for cancer may never see Page 6. Every media outlet — be it Internet, PodCast or TV — sings high praise for Apple and never has anything bad to say. Is it simply that they are scared of being alienated by Apple and not being allowed into future Apple events?
Can anyone shed light on how Apple manages to keep a purely positive image at all times?
Can You Recommend an Efficient Windows Based Music Player? March 1, 2008
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Tech , add a commentI love iTunes on my Mac but it is a real resource hog on my Windows system.
Before I ever started using iTunes, I used to really like Winamp which was a very efficient (not very resource intensive) music player. I tried an open source Ogg Vorbis player for a while a few years ago as well.
Now, I am thinking about switching from iTunes to something more lightweight on my Windows system. Have you used Winamp recently? How does it compare to iTunes in terms of resource usage? Is there something out there that is even leaner?
