Harry's Tech Survey

2008-08-23
hey guys jon rettinger here with John for lakers com sure you guys have seen there a lot of tech surveys going on and everybody's living some great answers to it but one guy in particular I Harrison 30 or hair you may know him I'll put a link to his channel in the sidebar create his own texture ray so I'm going to try and answer Harry survey as he's calling it just got back from a 13-hour orientation so this is nice way to unwind before I go out so let's get started his first question is what is the main ofc use today I use 0 x 10 leper the most current version it's my my OS of choice use windows at work when I have to but my main OS at home is OS 10 leopard how many desktops do you own currently just own the one I Mac a 24-inch to plan gigger that I'm making this video on is my dedicated desktop machine how my laptop's do you own currently actually I don't own any just sold my macbook pro for the imac but i will be getting a new laptop in the next month or zone so for right now big guzik what does the highest spec system you currently use well as i said it's my imac it's got 2.8 bigger processor i just upgraded to four gigs of ram thing as a screamer i love it so that's the most high expecting you've got right now i expect something that we used used regularly i assume he means and system that guy I either owned or used on a daily basis is still the imac the only a few weeks old and is still the highest spec one that got to see the folks back to check out the unboxing uh watch piece of software do you run that is the most system hungry IE photoshop final cut um question I gotta say parallels actually parallels desktop through point O lets me use windows on my mac and I've dedicated two gigabytes of RAM to that I don't use it very often maybe once a month whenever I have to go to window into windows for something but right now that's the most power-hungry a non emulations software I gotta say would probably be I movie which I do most of my video editing in and that I don't really do that much strap processor hunger stuff and I wouldn't use for photo editing I use iphoto for photo wedding great it's really easy one click for a red-eye one click for zip reduction get to tap it your tits gone your eyes are red aren't red and your face them look so shiny um there's always a nice thing what you use for movie editing I use iMovie 06 which actually called I movie HD I don't use iMovie 08 I just prefer the look and feel of iMovie 06 you can actually get it for free if you have I'm the weight from the apple site just type into search to find it there current web browser Firefox all the way firefox for me has been the most stable open most reliable I'm not dissing Safari I think it's a great browser but I came from firefox when I switched over to Mac I which is used to it so that's my primary browser although I've tried so far as I mentioned I've tried camino I've tried opera tried windows explorer I tried Netscape back in a day so I really tried them all I think Safari i'm currently using i believe through point O is been the best for me uh what should you prefer OS 10 microsoft windows linux unix BOS or any other OS 10 all the way at least for me it's been the most stable i like to not have to worry as much about viruses or I worry as much about computer crashes I like the fact that i can change machines really easily just use time machine or migration assistant to change data and migrate over new computer I like the use of use when I need these of use hugged complexity but I need to get to programs it a more def more in-depth just overall I think it's a more elegant and well-rounded operates within weeks for me windows for some people is the best way to go but in my opinion it's OS 10 all the line lets you scroll down here see the next couple questions the next question he has is if they've used windows before which has been your favorite version windows 95 windows 98 etc um well I want to rent the mac for your a nap so I've used them all use millennium I use 95-98 I used two thousand I used to XP and actually I have not really used vista very much but my favorite I guess is still got to be XP you know when I used it it was great for the first in a couple years and as Windows generally goes it starts to slow down but it was fine I didn't have any major issues windows just wasn't there wasn't doing for me what I needed to do if you've used macs before which is your favorite version OS ninth Panther tiger etc cancer that leopard was my first real exposure to the rack world so answer that one there I do any tech related qualifications um I love it other than that no real qualifications or technological degrees an undergraduate degree or university degree was in liberal arts and I'm getting my master's degree in business so no technical degrees but just a lot of Technology um out of the technology revolutionary switch you think most inspires you Steve Jobs Bill Gates Steve Wozniak Paul Allen etc uh interesting you know I think that what Bill Gates did actually growing a company from you know his garage Paul Allen is very honorable whether you love Microsoft or hate him he leased out to respect what the company has done and what Bill Gates did for that company and now what he's doing philanthropic alee he really is an amazing man at a fantastic businessman so I really have a lot of respect and admiration for Bill Gates um similarly for steve jobs as well he took a company that was failing famous quote by Michael Dell I believe I'm on the lines of I shareholder asked him what he would do for Apple he said I'd give the money back to the shareholders and sell the company and that was before Steve Jobs came back on and that was situation with Apple it was a dark horse it had some hardcore fans but it was never going to have mass adoption they had ugly design they had Anan elegant OS that wasn't very scalable wasn't terribly user-friendly and Steve Jobs came on early created its cult of mac if he will revolutionize the products revolutionized the operating system so from a business standpoint in a marching standpoint which is my business really have to throw a lot of respect for Steve Jobs the apple marketing machine very few companies can charge of premiums Apple does and really and the consumers mind do no wrong so much respect for up for Steve Jobs I can't go on for this question forever but try make it video a little bit short for you guys if you could have any get in the world not get invented to help you and what would you what would it do for you that's a tricky question you know there's the obvious answer time machine go back to time by all the google stock you know but realistically I'm attached to my mobile I would like a more featured mobile one that could do live video conferencing one that had a great battery one that could do flash video faster than 3G data I want to hit a web page and have a load instantaneously so I guess that would know 5g at that point and something that was adaptable than my need so if I needed something that was gonna be used for internet the phone could def / internet I need something to type an email keyboard would adapt to me a device I would adapt to the user at the mobile communicator we really be my ideal and something that's realistic and I think probably coming in the next few years um what search engine do you use google at the easy what is your favorite apple product of all time a lot of people are going to say iPod the iPod certainly revolutionized Apple but my favorite product is the iphone what they did for Safari mobile was unbelievable i use a browser all the time and it's an unmatched experience i've tried the windows mobile versions I've tried skyfire I've tried the new version of operating sign point five but still nothing compares to our mobile on the iphone have you ever tried a linux distribution I tried redhead a little while back it was nice I just didn't have an effect player that so it can't really answer that one more detail oh can you program and if so what languages I can do a little HTML not too much so sorry have you ever developed you in a webpage or for another person well if you guys check out w WG on for lakers calm which you should all know you know i helped develop that Armand did majority of the coding but he and I work together on design stuff but as far as coding and programming it's definitely him but T&I uh co partners in co-founder and founder and founding of the website which office we do use microsoft office 2008 for mac and it's fantastic i do not recommend off 2007 for pc the ribbon thing up there totally sucks but office 2008 defi the way to go so these are the answers to harry survey
