iPhone VS Android - Quick Review

This  or that? I used iOS 5 years before I got an android. It was a gift, actually - a Galaxy Note 3 that I've had for two years. I had an iPhone 5 before (I don't know where it is now) and loved it. iMessage, FaceTime, the camera, the display, all my apps and games - even unlocking the phone was fun (I'm lonely okay?) I never thought I could part from Apple's platform - then I got an Android for Christmas. I didn't ask for one, but my dad got the same phone and thoughtfully decided to get me one too. So, I've been stuck with it for two years - and I never thought I'd say this, but it's perfect for me! The stylus mostly. I'm an artist, so being able to write and sketch ideas on the go is amazing ; it's like a modern day Palm Pilot. I have (almost) the same apps as my iPhone (sans GTA III, Mass Effect Infiltrator and all my zombies games, unfortunately.) But which do I like better and who should go with what? I think...

"Should I Get a Mac?" - Answered

Yes! I get to practice my Apple Store skills on you now You know I've always wanted to work at the Apple store (what a beautiful aspiration), so I can pseudo-simulate that and help you guys out right here! So let's get to it. After using Mac for almost 7 years, I can tell you if you're any sort of graphic designer, application programmer, web developer, musician, video editor, photographer or writer (even an aimless one like me) - it's for sure worth giving it a shot. If you have an Apple store, Best Buy or friend with a MacBook - try a Mac out! See what you like about the OS. It's a lot like the iPhone or iPad if you have one, nearly identical actually. Apps like iMessage, FaceTime, iBooks and the App store really separate Apple - you can also take phone calls and reply to text messages straight from your Mac. If you're a video editor, Final Cut Pro X is one of the top creative applications available, along with Logic Pro X for music. The M...

PC V.S. Consoles - Which Is Better and What Should You Get?

Heads-up: the word "Console" is dirtier than "Mac" for hardcore PC gamers I'm going to be blunt here - when it comes to PC graphics, there is no contest. Now of course that means you need a good PC, so you'll have to spend a minimum of $800 for an entry-level setup - although, if you look on YouTube, there are some videos where you could (amazingly) upgrade your PC or build a new one for less than $200, that's capable of playing most games. I've been playing consoles like NES and Sega Genesis (or Saturn as some of you know it) since I was two. I played games like Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong and Tetris. Then I moved to Super Nintendo, N64 and Sega Dreamcast, so I can play Mario 64 and NBA 2k. I began to see graphic potential in games when the Nintendo GameCube came out. The visuals were stunning - titles like Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart were all I played for months. Then I got a Nintendo DS for ...

Chanel Glasses Review

I mentioned in the last post I love need brand-named products and in the first post that goes out to Apple. I'll line up every year for their new iPhone - except the past two. My dad got me an Android Note and I've been stuck with it ever since. Don't get me wrong it's not horrible - it was a nice thought and a lot of people actually like Android. It's not that I don't like Android either, it's got its perks; just moving from using only iOS since I was ten years old to Android - is to say the least, agony. Especially from an Apple fan boy girls's perspective. I love iMessage and well everything about Apple, they can do no wrong in my eyes. Except for maybe the questionable price points. I mean $22,000 for an iWatch? (edit: Apple Watch, as they couldn't get the patent for that.) What?!? I get it, it's gold, 18-karat at that. I'm no jeweler, but I'm sure I can travel to Dubai for let's say $1000 and still get three times as much gold, ...
