What's your thoughts on Apples new products.

New Apple iPad Mini announced: What's your thoughts on it get back to me the Mad Hatter.
By the way i am bias i have both products so let here what Cnet has to say i found it a interesting.

And if you missed the CNET live blog -- no worries -- it's all right here in the recap. To break it down for you (including my 2 cents), here is what's new:

Follow the link for all the info.

   -- A new iMac(Lee: Cool, I like the sleek, thin design)
   -- 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Lee: Nice and light, but pricey)
   -- Mac Mini desktops (Lee: It's faster, but nothing exciting.)
   -- iPad fourth-generation (Lee: What? Wasn't the third generation just released
      six months ago? Glad I waited!)
   -- iPad Mini (It's actually true! Price point a bit disappointing.)

Of all the things announced, I think the biggest anticipated product is the Apple iPad Mini. While rumors of it floated around for months, with speculations that the iPad Mini would be coming soon, it indeed came true and people are talking about it! Here is CNET's take on it.

Now that you've got a glimpse of what the Mini has to offer, what do you think? Are you excited to see it? Disappointed? How does it match up against Apple competitors in the arena of the same-size tablets: better or worse? What about that starting price point of $329? Is that the price you were expecting or is it too high or low? Your fellow members are speaking up to tell you how they feel about this new Apple product
The Mad Hatter.

Hi All i found this article on Cnet it's a good read The Mad Hatter.

We had no shortage of exciting tech product announcements this past month, from the Amazon Kindle Fire HD, Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows 8, to the Nintendo Wii U -- what's not to love? But the one product that takes the cake as the most anticipated was the iPhone 5; the media frenzy around it was absolutely crazy, to say the least. Call it hype, but with a record 2 million preordered iPhone 5s (that's double the preorders from the last version) just within the first 24 hours, that has to say something about how many people are waiting to get their hands on one. If you didn't make the preorder list and want this phone really bad -- well, you'd better grab a sleeping bag and chair, join the folks camping out in front of the Apple stores, and wait another couple of days until it is for sale to the public. But be aware that some folks have been camping out since the beginning of the week, so you might be at the end of some really long lines. And for the record, I will not be near any Apple Store for a while.

Now that some of us have gotten a glimpse of the iPhone 5 (if you haven't yet, click here for the CNET editor, Scott Stein full and thorough iPhone 5 review) -- what do you think of the new iPhone 5? Were you happy or disappointed? Do you think the new iPhone is overrated, or is it everything you thought it would be and then some? What do you think about the new features? The new iPhone is thinner, lighter, faster, and sports a larger screen size than the previous version, but there other phones that are already on the market that have comparable specs. Are you going to buy an iPhone 5 or are you going to pass on it for another brand and model?

Moving programs from an older Mac to a newer one

Hey The Mad Hatter have you wanted to move file from one Mac to another?
Here's how and it cost you nothing.!!!

The topic may not apply to those of you on Windows machines, but I still wanted to give our readers who are Mac owners or Mac newbies a chance to participate and learn something new. Maybe even one day some of you Windows users will be adapting to Macs, so you never know if this knowledge will come in handy.
if you do decide to do it yourself, you'll not only save some money, but also learn something new and be proud that you were able to do it on your own.

Apple has a program called Migration Assistant. It's fantastic! Unlike it's Windows counterpart, Migration Assistant moves programs as well as data. It's intuitive, easy to use, and works with just a FireWire cable. 

But yes, there's a possibility some of the programs you move will not run on the latest Macs. Or they may need updates before they will work. Do your research before investing in the new computer. 

Saving website logins in my browsers?

Do you do this?
Humm

Let me ask you this, when you visit a Web site that requires you to log in with your username or password to access information on the site, do you manually input your log-in credentials every time, or do you let your Web browser store the log-in information for you, so the next time you visit the site it can log you in automatically? Well, if you have a habit of letting your browser store log-in credentials and passwords for the sake of convenient access or simply because you have a hard time remembering that information, you may just want read up on this week's topic question from member Sarah, who asked if she's being stupid by saving her Web site log-in credentials in Web browsers.

Sarah, I'm glad you asked this question, as I'm sure many people do this all the time. You ask, is this a stupid thing to do? I wouldn't call it stupid, but I would call it risky -- storing personal information anywhere has its risks, especially when you aren't in control of it. The fewer places you have log-in names and passwords available for someone to steal, the less chance there is of them being compromised.

I will admit that I personally sometimes do store log-in and passwords for sites that I frequently visit; HOWEVER, it's never for a site that is financial in nature, and never a site that can be used to personally identify who I am, or cause any harm to myself, to others, or to the site. If any would-be perpetrators were to gain access to my log-in name and password from those sites, they wouldn't be able to use those credentials on any of my secure sites.

This invaluable and a good wake-up call to all those who let their browser do the storing of their log-in information, so read up and be informed of the risk you are taking. Thank you to all those who have stepped up and shared your knowledge on this important topic. Stay safe out there, people

They have a wicked mix of Jamaican style cuisine and it local freshly made each day.

Rinty's Home Cooking with its popular Jamaican dishes include curry goat, fried dumplings, ackee and salt fish (cod) (which is the national dish of Jamaica), fried plantain, "Jerk", steamed cabbage and "rice and peas" (pigeon peas or kidney beans).And their Red peas soup is to die for I just had some.
