Advances in retail experiences for Bangkok's Mac users
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 25/01/2017
» Research company Gartner claims that 20% of organisations will use smartphones in place of physical access cards by 2020. A few days before reading that, I had been in the new head office of COM7, where staff are signed in and out using iBeacon and a smartphone app. This also controls access to specific areas. I was attending an Open Day at the building in Sanphawut Road, Bang Na.

Improving connections to the new MacBook Pro
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 11/01/2017
» When writing a summary of 2016 on my own site recently, I made a prediction: Apple's Q1 2017 financial results would be announced on Jan 24. I was wrong, it will be on the 31st, and as always will feature live audio transmission, although it will be at about 5am here.

Those damn cables
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 28/12/2016
» The 13-inch MacBook Pro I ordered online arrived last week and I switched to that as soon as I could. The transition was relatively smooth, but there were a couple of adjustments. A problem with these new Macs is not the few adapters available, but the lack of suitable cables.

The shape of things to come
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 30/12/2015
» In the late 70s county forces in the UK were given access to the Police National Computer (PNC) when it came online. This allowed quicker checking for stolen cars or for criminals who were wanted.

Apple products await Thai approval
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 11/11/2015
» The iPad Pro is expected to be released on Friday, but there is no official date for its arrival in Thailand. Like the Apple TV, I expect users will have to wait a little longer for this and the Apple Pencil that will arrive then, too.

More money, Mac problems
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 17/12/2014
» Macs sometimes go wrong. Many problems may be software-related, but I have had hardware let me down too. My 12-inch PowerBook needed battery replacement under an Apple programme, and a later MacBook Pro ate a battery every year. Two computers had hard disk failures: a 15-inch MacBook Pro under warranty, and my iMac after five years of use. With backups, I lost no data.

Fallout from Apple's WWDC
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 11/06/2014
» Last week, Apple’s WWDC at the Moscone Center, San Francisco took place. I watched the keynote presentations live and wrote my own blow-by-blow comments on my blog, uploading live. Deadlines, however, meant I was unable to comment in last week’s Life.

Back the Mac up, fool
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 02/04/2014
» I have one sure way to make my students laugh — I ask if they have backed up their computers. There is silence, then a slight giggle, then the class breaks into laughter. With all the work they put into classes and projects, they risk losing all, either by theft, loss, hard disk failure or software problems. My teaching colleagues admit to backing up once a month or less — maybe more when running a project. It took a burglary and the loss of a Mac with all my photographs for me to take backing up seriously.

iOS4 installation and Notes on the iPhone 4 release
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 07/07/2010
» I had really been looking forward to the iPhone update, known as iOS4, since it was outlined by Apple. A number of features looked as if they would be useful. Some of these brought iPad tricks to the smaller devices. It was developed for the new iPhone 4, of course, and is optimised for that device. Fewer features are available for earlier iPhones. Those before the 3G (and early iPod touch devices) could not install the update at all.

When your Mac won't recognise your iPhone
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 12/05/2010
» I have been running my new 2.66Ghz MacBook Pro for the past couple of weeks. I will report next time on day-to-day use and its performance. While I took great care to transfer the data and install applications, mostly by downloading from new, it was not all plain sailing. The software I use for the weekly podcast let me down and I am still looking at that. As a short-term remedy, I wrote parts of the feed myself.
