To evaluate what you should buy, we ad-

The main attraction of the Mac-

design), a Core2Duo processor

which is plenty for most things you’d want
to do. It can also take up to 2GB RAM and
160GB hard drive as well as a SuperDrive.
Its limitation lies in that it’s very hard to up-
grade, and it has integrated Intel graphics,
so don’t expect to play the latest 3D games
on a mini. Price: from AED2699.

iMac
The ultimate home desktop computer, the iMac
is the all-in-one that packs a punch. You can
get a 20 or 24-inch screen, up to 3.06GHz, up
to 4GB of RAM, and 1TB of hard drive. The
iMac’s selling point is the integrated package,
which also happens to look really awesome.

simple and quick guide to the iPods so
you can make a more informed buying
decision.

iPod Classic
This is the iPod we have known
and loved for so many years,
hence the name Classic. With a
large display, plenty of storage
space, this is still the king of the
iPods even though many new
models have been released.
Comes in versions of 80GB
and 160GB and is available in

timate fashion accessory. With a wonderfully
crisp display it can play video and the small
size means you can slip it into your pocket
and take it anywhere. Comes in 4GB and 8GB
versions in five different colors. Price: from
AED649.

iPod Shuffle
This miniscule iPod is different from the other iPods not
just in terms of size and price but in the fact that it has no
display. The idea is that you listen to music on the go and
it shuffles through the songs. There’s even an handy fea-
ture in iTunes that will always put a different combination of
songs on it when you sync. Price: AED329.

Apple TV
Although it’s not an iPod we present it here as it seems Apple
feels the Apple TV is in the same family. With 40GB or 160GB
storage capacity, the Apple TV can take all your music, pod-
casts, and movies. The multimedia can be synchronized from
one iTunes library on a Mac or PC, or streamed from up to five
other computers. It’s the easiest way to get your multimedia
content onto a TV. Price: from AED1399.

So you’ve taken the photos, edited them, and


now you want to share them. It’s fun to put
them on a web site but there’s nothing really so
satisfying as seeing one of your photographs
in print on paper. Here we serve you a few
pointers when it comes to picking a printer for
your photographs.

Printing
Availability of supplies
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to hunt

to print. Make sure supplies for your printer are
readily available in a convenient location.

The typical way a printer connects is via USB cable.
Many printers also connect via Ethernet cable or Wi-
Fi. Ethernet cable and Wi-Fi offers flexibility in terms
of where the printer is located, since it doesn’t have
to be plugged into a computer.

Apples
Sun Microsystems and Apple Computer have
a long history together. Sun considered buy-
ing Apple in the mid-1990s, the companies also
nearly merged on two other occasions, as well
as almost co-operating on a number of techni-
cal projects, according to Bill Joy, one of Sun’s
founders. Both companies have always been
the maverick of their markets, relying on quality
products and innovation over the power of mass

at
marketing.
The Sun of 2008 is much more than the Unix

Sun
workstation and server company of the mid 90s,
with a product range that encompasses every-
thing from the Java programming language, to
business integration software, thin client technol-
ogy and x64 servers. Solaris, Sun’s Unix operat-
ing system, is the platform of choice for telcos,
banks and business customers around the world.
Gil Amelio was in charge at Apple when Sun
looked at buying the company in 1996. With


Steve Jobs back we’ve all seen Apple’s star rise
again – the iPod, the move to OS X, the move
to Intel, etc. Shuffle readers are well aware of
what our favourite consumer tech company has
achieved.
In recent years, co-operation between Sun and
Apple has continued. Apple have integrated For years, particular-
ly since the advent of
Sun’s open source Dtrace code into OS X. Dtrace
helps programmers diagnose performance
bottlenecks in their code. Apple have also inte-
grated Sun’s open source 128bit ZFS file system
into OS X server. ZFS allows for TBs of storage to
the Unix based OS X,
be easily managed across multiple drives with no
single point of failure. Sun engineers have

issued laptops, however, have always been
Toshibas. Over the last few months however,
Macs have been added as an option.
Every Sun office I visit these days has employees
poring over their shiny new Macs. Internal aliases
have been set up for Mac newbies – most new
owners at Sun are using a Mac for the first time
in many years, myself included. We’re also find-
ing ourselves buying other Apple products for our
own personal use as well.
Who knows what might have happened had the
mergers gone ahead? Either way, thanks to Sun,
I’ve been able to switch. What if I get fed up with
OS X? Well, I can always put OpenSolaris on this
lovely Apple branded piece of hardware.
