Some OS X applications object to being moved from their default location and will break if you move them. But because OS X uses the actual applications (not shortcuts), I can only organize some applications into their appropriate folders. Since Windows uses shortcuts (“aliases” in OS X, “links” in Linux) for the Start menu, I can reorganize them to my heart’s content. My Windows “Start” menu and my Mac “Applications” folder look like this: Which maps nicely onto PCs, Macs, and services. I’m also adding a “Google” category to my blog, because it’s clear to me now that the computing world is dominated by three key players: Microsoft, Apple, and Google. So perhaps the rise of services (and the inclusion of “services” as a category) is the real story of 2007.
In 2008, I’m switching from Eudora (a PC-based and Mac-based email client) to Google’s Gmail. I used to use a PC-based RSS reader, but now I use Google Reader. Some software applications (like backup via ) include server (or service) components, but that’s not really what I mean by “services.” Others software services require no client-specific software (other than a web browser).
Using exifrenamer drivers#
But one of my software categories is “Hardware” (where I keep drivers and the like), so the addition of hardware was a logical extension. I originally intended only to include software. This article quickly became longer and more detailed than I had intended. This is my review of the software, hardware, and services that I was using in 2007.
