    On the path to OS X

    I looked at the Macbook Air and was really impressed with its weight and thickness, it was very tempting. If I ever get a second laptop it will be the Air.

    On the path to OS X

    The Macbook will be used for the same thing the iPad was used for. However, I also do graphics artwork and plan to create iOS and OS X apps, so I need something more powerful than the iPad for these tasks. I'll be installing XCode and Photoshop on the Macbook - the iPAd can't really handle those...

    On the path to OS X

    I used the iPad for a modile computer (web surfing, email, book reader) and a movie now and then. I found that I use my laptop more often than i use the iPAd, so I'm going to switch my laptop over to an Apple product.

    On the path to OS X

    Just sold my iPad with Retina Display (WiFi+Cellular). I purchased this iPad from Verizon and it has served me well. I plan to save the money and add to it next month in order to purchase a MacBook Pro - yeah Apple has me spoiled now. I'll finally be able to replace Linux with OS X - which is a...

    How do you feel about being asked questions?

    I don't mind questions about my deafness. I see it as an opportunity to help educate others because it makes things easier on the next deaf/HOH person they talk to.

    New hearing aids

    Hey, nice suggestion! However, the search for my area turned up nothing. Searching for "Phonak" turned up nothing as well.

    If only I could afford a Compilot, I would love to have one. Thank you. I'll talk to my audiologist about this next week.

    What are you thinking about Part VII

    Wondering why they save up all of the food advertisements for TV and play them only when I'm hungry. It's a conspiracy!

    Free mobile phone stylus!

    How many times have you picked up a stylus on a cold day and thought about dipping it in hot water? How many times have you wished your stylus would clean itself? How many times have you had an instance where your stylus didn't work as advertised? How many times have you misplaced your...

    Been fit is cosmetic

    Years ago I was told that I may not see my 50th birthday if I didn’t lose weight - I weighed 260 lbs and am 66 inches tall. Since then I have lost over 100 pounds - I weighed 150 pounds yesterday morning. Here are the tips given to me by my doctor: Never eat unless you’re hungry. Many people...

The batteries last for two weeks, whereas my previous Phonaks went through batteries every three days. The only thng I miss is an on/off switch. You have to open the battery compartment to turn...

    New hearing aids

    I picked up my new Phonak Naida Q50 UP hearing aids two weeks ago. I spent two hours in a programming and Q&A session with my audiologist. I can actually hear my own voice now. I know I should give these aids an honest trial, but it's so tempting to take them off - I had forgotten how noisy the...
