    Proof that even Microsoft can listen to the critics

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 15/12/2010

    » The eXtensions column has not been particularly pro-Microsoft over the years. My students think I hate Bill Gates. Although that is untrue, I do maintain the fiction in class. Some of my colleagues would not change from Redmond's offerings, and for sound reasons.

    What I have learned: Even MS can impress

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 22/12/2010

    » If teachers never learn anything new, they do a disservice to their students. Likewise, writers should always search for new ideas; inflexibility will not stimulate readers. My recent look at Microsoft Office 2011 has been a nice surprise - I find myself not only liking it, but happy to recommend it to Mac users. For those wondering about changing from other platforms to Apple's OS X, this would make the move relatively painless. The difference in style sometimes confuses those new to Macs (http://www.microsoft.com/mac).

    With the iPad it's easy to get a Life, a Guardian or a New Yorker

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 29/12/2010

    » It seems somehow fitting to write the penultimate eXtensions column on the device that (in my hands finally) is beginning to create major ripples not just through the halls of the computer makers, but the dusty palaces of the news businesses as well.

    A farewell column: Pastures new

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 05/01/2011

    » In his 2007 introduction to the iPhone, Steve Jobs said it was great to have been involved in not one but three developments that have changed the world. With a little more humility, since I have been in Thailand I have managed to make a few ripples.

    If you need to get iLife, don't do it by mail

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 10/11/2010

    » I thought I had been smart by ordering iLife online as there were no copies in the shops, but I watched the online tracking as it remained at the airport for several days: Clearance delay. I checked with DHL on Thursday and was told that this was due to Customs. I think she meant with a large "C". I made a final check on Friday evening. I look forward to Apple's online software facility and downloading directly: no disks; no frustrating waits.

    Unleash your creative capabilities with iLife

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 24/11/2010

    » This is my third look at iLife '11, which includes GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb. Although iTunes is a part of iLife and it integrates with the other parts, it is installed and updated separately, because of its functions as a conduit for online services and synchronising of iOS devices, like the iPhone.

    Image software that's cheaper than the 'must-haves'

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 20/10/2010

    » Mac users enjoy access to a rich variety of software and while some of the big names (like Microsoft or Adobe) are often cited, I tend to eschew these for a number of reasons, including economy.

    Apple as busy as ever, Thailand as slow as usual on the uptake

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 03/11/2010

    » It was a busy week for Apple last week with financial results and a "Back to the Mac" event. Both were reported in the Bangkok Post Business section and are well-covered online. We had a new iLife; Facetime for the Mac; a report on some features of OS X, 10.7, Lion, which incorporates technology from iOS (the iPhone system); and a Mac App store which will be online by January. Lion is due next Summer (www.apple.com/mac/facetime).

    The iPhone 4: So far, so good

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 13/10/2010

    » I have had the new iPhone 4 in my hands for just over a week and have been getting used to its new features and superior performance. The iPhone 3G that I have been using for some 18 months now has served me well. While the white back has a somewhat matte finish these days, the glass is as clear and unmarked as the day it came out of the box. Instead of an expensive case, I just use an iPod sock, which the staff at iStudio found amusing. It works for me.
