The Missing Text Editor for Mac. How true?
A lot has been said about TextMate on Mac OSX. I just have to try it my self.

On my first glance about TextMate’s UI (User Interface), it really look ordinary to me. It even looks like TextEdit except with line code on the left.

So it tried using it on my daily web development task and found out it has more to it. One of them is converting non-ASCII characters in a few clicks and ticks on your input devices. Just highlight your line of code and press shift + cmd 7 it select the filter you want to do and it converts non-ASCII characters into html character entities.

So there is more in to TextMate that I haven’t explored so I bought this book “Textmate: Power Editing for the Mac (Pragmatic Programmers)” to learn more about TextMate’s hidden power on editing.

So when I find my self master of this tool then I will post another story on how my journey went with TextMate.

Feel free to drop me a line of comment below. Cheers!

I had trouble using Microsoft office for mac on the previous version, but on Microsoft Office 2011 they have made the same with the PC version of Microsoft Office. If you are new with Mac and trying to get your hands on Microsoft Word or Excel, you can easily use the software with no trouble looking for the formatting toolbar or the ruler.

So i bought one from Amazon as soon as I saw some reviews and a screen cast from a friend. Take note that Entourage is renamed back to Outlook and same as the user experience. On the software package for Microsoft office 2011 for Mac, Microsoft included Remote Desktop and MS communicator as a added bonus application. It’s a reasonable Price at $127.27 with free shipping at Amazon. Take it from me, Its the best release ever for Microsoft office for Mac.

I am always having a hard time designing on my macbook 13 inch, so I bought this great Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter that you can just hook on to your MacBook and attach it on your LCD monitor. A cool gadget for $29.00.

I am attaching my dual display macbook on $245.99 ViewSonic VA2702W 27-Inch Full HD 1080p Widescreen LCD Monitor with DVI and VGA Inputs – Black, So watching a movie or working on a Design Project would be a hell lot easier with this huge 27 inch Crystal Display.

Or you can go all mac with Apple’s Apple LED Cinema Display 27-Inch MC007LL/A.

So this would be an epic battle between Acer Aspire One Netbook Vs Asus Eee PC Netbook Vs Hp Mini Netbook. So time to choose which is the smartest netbooks of them all.

Asus Eee PC

Lets start with Acer aspire one, this netbook has a speed of 1.6GHz and it has with it the Intel Atom technology so which means this is much faster than my Pentium 4 PC “winks”.

Next we have Asus Eee PC Netbook and inside it is a speed of 900MHz, and it’s a Celeron. Which means my Pentium 3 PC is faster than this thing. I know its sad but compare to Acer’s Aspire One this thing doesn’t stand a chance. Asus Eee PC has the same price range with Acer’s Aspire, with $349.99

Last but not the least HP Mini Netbook. HP Mini Netbook is an Intel Atom Processor and has 1.6GHz Processor Speed. So HP mini and Acer’s has the same processor.

Now with the hard drive type and size

Acer has 160GB with Serial ATA or SATA

Asus has 120GB with Serial ATA or SATA

HP has 16GB SSD or Solid State Drive (Same type as Mac’s Air)

So as with hard drives Acer won the contest with 160GB but HP it has 16GB HD space but what makes it special? SSD or solid state drives are much faster tan ATA drives cause it doesn’t have to spin, so it is much faster on startup and file access.

As with the weight Acer Aspire One and HP mini is the lightest with 2.4 lbs.

So if you are buying a new Netbook you know what to buy. If you are going to ask me if which one to buy? Then it would be Acer Aspire One, just to be practical.

so hope this review helps you alot on your shopping. see you on my next review!
