Ubuntu for smartphones?

Hey guys and welcome at another blogpost,

Today I'm going to talk about Ubuntu for phones, because I  want to make clear that Ubuntu for phones is out, for actually quite a long time. I'm not going to download it myself, so I'm just going to think about my thoughts.

Lets start with the looks, I think it looks very smooth and nice, but I think that it isn't practical because it works entirely different that an operating system that we've ever seen before. I actually want to download and install it but I'm not going to do it because there aren't much popular apps out there for the Ubuntu OS. I mean its looks really nice and after a moment of time it would work nice and fast to, but not for me. If I have my iPhone in June, I am going to install it, and I am definitely going to post a review on this blog. If you have downloaded Ubuntu on your mobile, leave a comment because I'm very curious.

Thanks for reading! 

My opinion about the iPhone 6

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the iPhone 6.

I will begin with the positive points of the iPhone 6, I really like de size of it, because I like to have a big phone in your hands. Also I really like the software, because it looks much nicer than the software from android. The phone self looks also very nice, especially with a black color, just because I like black phones.
The design of the iPhone 6 is a lot better in my eyes than the design of the iPhone 5, because this design looks almost the same as all other smartphones. The big ''home button'' I really like, it is very other than the most of the smartphones.

one negative point of it was in the past a very big issue, the phone could band in your pocket, and that was a big issue, so far as I know, that was a problem and now not anymore.

I think the iPhone 6 plus is to big, it doesn't fit well in your pockets and that is a problem for me, because I want to have my phone always with me. And the big size of it makes it difficult to type fast.

This was my opinion about the iPhone 6, tomorrow I want to write a post about something of school, because next year I go with my school to Gambia, and I will make a kind of cinematic about this landscape. I hope you will read this post, than I will tell you gays more of it.

Xbox 360 VS PlayStation 3

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the xbox360 and the PS3, and I will compare the xbox360 and the PS3.

I start with my opinion about the xbox360, I like the outside of the console more than the outside of the PS3, because its really simple and it looks in my eyes very good. The inside is almost the same, but one important different between the xbox360 and the PS3 is online gaming, that is one of the few differences, but I think this is not a different at the inside of the console, but more of the different between the makers of the consoles.


Now I will tell you my opinion about the PS3, I don't like the outside, because it doesn't looks like as a gaming design. But I really like free online gaming.




This was my opinion, I give the PS3 a 6 for the outside and a 8 for the inside. I give the XBOX360 a 8.5 for the outside and a 7 for the inside.

Thanks for reading this post, I hope it was a good one, and I hope you will read my next post

The 2014 Apple Mac Mini

Hey guys and welcome at another blogpost,

The new Mac Mini is for sale quite a while now, but I want to do a opinion post about it anyway. To start with, I don't like it, Apple is forcing you to buy your Mac Mini with enough RAM and hard drive space because you can't upgrade anything about the Mac Mini yourself anymore. Apart from this I don't think that we have to judge it only on the fact that its not user upgradeable anymore because the machine itself can be very good.

I really like the Mac Mini, it has a nice and sleek design and its very quiet even if you're running very processor of GPU depending tasks. And personally I don't find thats its so bad that they removed the ability to choose between a dual core and a quad core processor because if you'll really need a Quad Core I5 or a Quad Core i7, why don't just buy an iMac or Mac Pro. Except from the fact that you can't change the RAM and hard drive yourself but apart from that I still love the Mac Mini.

If you want to share your opinion about the Mac Mini, be sure to leave a comment. Thanks for reading!

Devine USB studio microphone vs Logitech c210 webcam microphone

Hello and welcome to a new post, this is a special one, in this post we will compare 2 different microphones, the logitech c210 webcam microphone and my microphone the Devine USB-1 studio microphone.

This was the test, as you can hear the studio microphone is a lot better than the webcam microphone, but the quality of the webcam microphone isn't bad.

So this was a short post, now you have heard the quality of my studio microphone. I will maybe upload two times today, but I don't know for sure.

Ergonomic keyboard or mechanical keyboard

Hey guys, and welcome at another post.

Today I want to talk about ergonomic keyboards this isn't a review but I'm thinking of getting one. I've never typed on one, but I can imagine that they would type really nice when you're used to it. You won't have to move your hands much on the keyboard. They just stay in one place, and that seems very nice, but they are quite expensive, so its a huge gamble, and if I don't like it its just a waste of money. But if I'm going to get a ergonomic keyboard I think I am going to buy a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard.

I'm also thinking about a mechanical keyboard with gold plated switches because I have typed on a mechanical keyboard and that keyboard had Cherry MX Brown switched, so it made less clicking sound, but the sound is not a problem for me. I want to buy a mechanical keyboard because you can type more precise and much faster in them. If I'm going to buy a mechanical keyboard its going to be a Das Model S Professional for Mac

If you'll have a recommendation or a tip leave a comment. Thanks for reading!

Call of Duty Black Ops II

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post i will tell you my opinion about Call of Duty BO2.

I really like the game, it has (for that year) nice graphics and a really nice gameplay. I'm a big fan of the bots game mode, so you can game with your friend on one console.
 The multiplayer of the game is nice too, but I don't like to play online, just because there are often hackers in a session and than I doesn't like a match. Also I really like the custom gun classes, so you can make a gun class that you like, and so you can make your own good class. I use most of the time the M27, just because I like the shooting range of it and the nice accuracy.

I'm not a big fan of the zombie game mode, because it's to fake, I really like FPS games, but it has to be realistic. when a fps shooter looks realistic you can feel the game, but when the game isn't realistic I can't feel it, and that is what I want of a nice shooter.  In game I really like it when you were hit by an enemy you see the blood in your screen, that gives the extra feeling of the game I think. 

I hate to play BO2 on the PC, just because when you have a mouse in your hands with FPS games it isn't feels nice, with a controller you can move in your chair to change your view on the game, but when you have a mouse in your hand you have to sit on your bureau, and I like to move when you play a fps game. 

I hope you liked this post, and of course I hope you will read my next post too. 

Android, WindowsPhone, BlackberryOS or iOS?

Hey guys and welcome at another post,

Smartphones are a very big thing in 2015, and there are three operating systems for smartphones out there, Android and iOS are the most common, and almost everybody has a smartphone with Android or an iPhone.

Windows Phone looks great, but I think it is a waste of money, there aren't a lot off apps for the Windows Phone, it was difficult to find some applications, it just didn't feel right, when I've received a picture through Whatsapp, it duplicated the picture, so I had two and sometimes three of them. And the worst part for me was: I couldn't get used to it. I've used Android on my smartphone, and iOS on my iPod Touch and iPad, but I've never used Windows on a phone.

BlackberryOS looks awesome in my opinion, and I like the design of some Blackberrys, but you didn't heard anything about Blackberry until the release of the Blackberry Passport and the Classic. I've did a lot of research on BlackberryOS because I've almost never used it, and I learned that there aren't much apps out there for Blackberry, you can't even download Instagram on Blackberry, and thats a huge shame because almost everyone knows Instagram.

I really like Android, you can find many apps in the Google Play Store and everything was really easy to find, installing an update was easy, finding settings and changing them was easy. The only problem I've experienced was that I couldn't move apps to my SD-card, but thats probably the phone and not Android. I really like Android, and it is very easy to use in my opinion.

iOS is really user-friendly, until iOS 7, and its so irritating that they are forcing you to use iCloud, but apart from that, I really like iOS, it works smooth and apps are very easy to download and/or buy. It has a nice design, and I really like iOS 7 and 8, because I am using iOS since iOS 5, and after two years staring at a screen with the same design its nice to have something new. I have experienced some problems when I wanted to sync my iPad with my PC, and I don't know if this is a Windows problem or a iOS problem, but I was really disappointed to see that, I own a MacBook, but sometimes I like to use my pc, and to not being able to just sync your iPad with it, is a real disadvantage in my opinion, and I don't now if I am the only one having this problem, so if you have this problem, or not leave a comment!

Thanks for reading everybody!

My new keyboard and mouse!!! CM Storm Devastator

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you something about my new keyboard and my new mouse.
 let's start with my keyboard, this is the cm storm Devastator MB24, I really like the keyboard and the lights on it, it looks very nice and the keyboard doesn't look cheap, but it's not very expensive. also the mouse


looks very nice, this one doesn't look cheap too.

You can switch the DPI of the mouse between 3 different levels, the level 3 has the biggest sensitivity and I never try this, but I think its really useful for FPS games likes call of duty. Level 2 is very nice for fast surfing on the internet. and level 1 is just a slow level, I use mostly level 2, just because it's not to fast and not to slow.


This was my review about The CM Storm Devastator. I have this keyboard now for a few hours, so I can't give a good review about it, I will post a other one when I have this one for a longer time.
I hope this was a useful (kind of) review, I hope you also will read my next post.

My future setup part 4

Hey guys and welcome at a new post,

There isn't ment to be a part 4, but this part is going about my future setup, that I am going to finish in about 2 and a half years. I want to buy a MacBook Pro because I need a Mac for my study, and I travel a lot, so thats the reason why I need a laptop, I also wanted a desktop computer, and first I was looking at some iMacs, but then I realized, why don't I buy a MacBook Pro, a MacBook stand, and an Apple Cinema Display or Thunderbolt display. If I do that, I'll have an iMac feeling using, without an iMac, and I know its more expensive, but I'm not gonna buy an Apple Thunderbolt Display I think, just a simple Apple Cinema Display from eBay. 

I hoped you liked this post, thanks for reading!

My MacBook from 2008

Hey guys and welcome at a new post,

I want to talk about my 2008 MacBook, because I'm still using it and I don't need another laptop right now, because my MacBook is doing everything I need from it. Its not that fast, but it its not really slow either. It has a 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, an Intel GMA X3100 144 mb graphics card, and I use my laptop for everything. From school work to blogging, and I really like it. The keyboard is not very good, but it isn't really that bad, the only disadvantage is that when I bought it, it typed very good and comfortable but the laptop is seven years old now, so the quality of the keys, and the entire keyboard is going down.

I've never owned a laptop before this one, but I really like it, and I wish I've never have you buy another one, but I have to, because I'm going to do a graphics design study, and I've need a MacBook for that. And mine is to slow and to old for the newer programs, because my MacBook runs OS X Lion, and can't run OS X Mountain Lion or later. So it is nice to get a newer, and faster MacBook Pro, and I'm sure I am going to like that laptop as well.

If you was looking for this laptop on eBay or something, I am going to give you some advise. If you wanted to buy this laptop, don't do it. I really like it, but its old. Its really snappy and quick for its age, but the latest it can run is OS X Lion. OS X Lion is supported now, but no one knows how lang it will stay supported. So I would suggest to buy another MacBook.

I hoped you guys liked this post, thanks for reading.

Macbook Pro 13'' retina.


So as you maybe know I want to use a MacBook in the future, what is the reason I want to use a MacBook?  That is really easy, I need it for my future study, I will go to the Graphics Lyceum Rotterdam and than I need a good PC/Laptop, and a good laptop for Photoshop and stuff is of course a MacBook or iMac, but I have to carry it with me when I go to school, that is the reason I will a MacBook, it's easy to carry and it's powerful.                                                                     

Hello and welcome to a post about the MacBook pro 13'' with retina.



Why a MacBook with retina? This MacBook I can also use when I'm done with school, with a normal MacBook I can't use it so long, because the software will be older. And retina has a nice and sharp resolution so Photoshop and stuff look likes nice on it.

so, now you know why I want to use a macbook.
I hope you will also read my next post

Apple Cinema Display

Hey guys and welcome at another post,

Today I want to talk about a change on my setup, because I only use a MacBook, without a second screen. I used my Iiyama Prolite E2482HS but when the Playstation 3 went to my room I moved my Iiyama Prolite. I can live with a 13 inch screen, but I really miss the space on a big 24 inch screen, so I am going to buy an Apple Cinema Display.

I could easily buy another Iiyama Prolite 24 inch with full HD resolution, but I've always wanted an Apple Cinema Display, so I thought, I have an Intel Mac, and I've need a computer screen so I thought that an Apple Cinema Display is a really good idea. I'm not going to buy a new one from Apple because they are really expensive, in the Netherlands they are 1.149,00 euro's from the Apple website and I can't afford it, so I'm going to buy it off eBay. I was looking at a Dutch auction site called Marktplaats, or Marketplace if translated to English, and I saw some pretty nice Apple Cinema Displays with a 23 inch HD screen for 150 euros ($162,00) or (110,00 british pounds) and thats a really good deal. I really love the displays from Apple, and my dad has a 20 inch one, and its working really well with his Mac Mini, and thats why I am going to buy it for my current MacBook, and future MacBook Pro.

Thanks for reading, if you'll have any questions leave a comment!

How AppleMacintoshBlog started

Hey guys and welcome at another blogpost.

I've written a blogpost about my computer history, and how I've started using OS X and I wanted to to let you guys now how AppleMacintoshBlog started.


It all started with my PowerMac G5, in 2011 I think. I've created this blog because I was bored, and I didn't want to game all the time so I started blogging. I was blogging in Dutch for about a year, and I was posting one time a week, and sometimes I wasn't posting in months, because blogging is fun, but its even more fun to see that people visit your blog, and all of that started when I started blogging in English, I was posting a lot, but I had to give it up, because I was getting bad grades at school. So I studied a lot, and when everything was going well on school, I've started blogging again, but not so much and motivated as I am doing today.

Not so long ago my cousin wanted to blog to, and I said yeah sure, so I made him co owner of AppleMacintoshBlog and now we are writing posts everyday, and upload two times a day, six times a week. And I have to admit, blogging together is much more fun than blogging alone, because you can talk about the blog, and write posts together. Since we are blogging together we've seen the pages views getting higher and higher, and today we've had 45 page views. Its really fun to see that people are actually looking at your posts, and if you want to start blogging, just start, and keep doing it. If you keep doing it, people will visit your blog eventually.

Thanks for reading, I hope this post inspired you to start a blog yourself, if it did, good luck!

Why I use windows and not OS X

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you why I'm using a windows pc and not a OS X.


This has a easy reason, money. I come from a family with a little bit money, so I was never able to buy a expensive PC or something, that is the reason, also I was not a big fan of apple, you have to paid for the most apps.
Apple Logo Wallpaper Hd 1080p
 But, I want a setup with only Apple products, why? I will start a design study, and for this study I need a MacBook pro. Also I will start my own design business so I need power full PC's and stuff, that is the reason I will buy a MacBook or iMac.


This was a short post, and now you know the reason I didn't work on Apple pc's or something.
Thanks for reading and I hope you will read also my next post.

My computer experience and why I am using OS X

Hello guys and welcome at another post.

Today I am going to talk about why I am using OS X, because in the Netherlands a lot of people use Windows, and sometimes people ask me why I am using OS X.

I haven't always used a Mac, I started using OS X in 2006, because my dad bought a Mac Mini, but that was the only Mac in the house. Me and my brother had a Windows computer at the time, I believe it was an HP Compaq with an Intel Pentium 4 processor. I wasn't using my computer much at the time, so I never needed an upgrade, but in 2009 or something, I've started using my dads Mac Mini more, because I needed to do a school project, and I needed Photoshop for that. My dad used Photoshop all the time, so he had it installed on his Mac, and I hadn't.

So when I was using the computer I was going to like OS X. At first I didn't liked it at all, it didn't worked for me, I accidentally removed something from the dock, and I didn't knew how to replace it. I wasn't used to using a Mac at all. But when I was doing that school project, I had to use the computer more and more, and eventually I really liked OS X, and after that week I almost never touched my pc ever again. In 2008, my dad bought a PowerMac G5, because G4 and G5 systems where really useable at the time, and I was so happy when he bought that PowerMac G5, because his older Mac Mini G4, was now mine. And because of that Mac Mini G4, I wanted to learn more about computers. So I worked for 3 more years on my Mac Mini G4, until my dad decided to buy a brand new Mac Mini, and that was the moment that I became the new owner of his older PowerMac G5.

I really loved that PowerMac G5, it was so fast, even in 2011 it was a really good computer but computers with a PowerPC processor started losing support. After 6 months the computer was broken, and I had to throw it away because it was taking up to much space, and I wish I didn't throw it away because when I was doing some research, I discovered that I only had to remove the Airport card. So yes, I threw a perfectly fine PowerMac G5 out. and I was actually sad about it, but luckily I always had my reliable Mac Mini which I've still have, I don't use it, but I don't want to throw it away, because its that computer that started my curiosity in technology. So I've used my Mac Mini for 2 more years, and at the end of 2013, I've bought my MacBook, and I'm writing this blogpost using it. And I really like Mac, and I love my MacBook, I am looking forward to make an upgrade, and buying a brand new Mac Book pro Retina.

How I started with Gaming?

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you how I started with gaming.


 I started gaming by my cousin Ralph, I was with him. The first game I ever played was: Minecraft, I was 8 years old, I know, a little bit late to start with gaming with 8 years, but my parents hasn't much money, I was 10 years when I gets a Playstation 2, and the first game on my ps2 was GTA San Andreas, I  was 12 when I gets my first own PC. but it was a crack PC, I only was able to play minecraft, but I was able to gaming. So I didn't care.
When I was 14 I bought a new PC, this one was a Dell Latitude, and I played more games, when I was 14 I also bought a PS3, and I could play more games. Now I have a Packard Bell and I really like this PC, this is the PC I use in my setup.
 I started with gaming on a laptop, with very cheap accessoires. And now I use a good Pc and good stuff for my setup.

So this was my post about how I started gaming, I hope you like it, and I hope you will read my next post.

What I hate about Windows and Windows fanboys

Hello guys, and welcome at another post,

Today I am going probably piss of some other fanboys, and I'm going to explain what I hate about Windows. Just as I said in the post: What do I hate about Apple and Apple fanboys, I don't hate Windows entirely, and I don't hate any fanboy. So lets get started.

Lets start at the fanboy problem, because always almost on every Mac review, a Windows fanboy comments: Windows is better, Facebook machine, waste of money and a lot of those worthless comments. My question to those people is: Why? Why are you watching a review of for example a MacBook Pro, and leave a dumb comment. And don't get me wrong when an Apple fanboy does something like this, at a pc review it irritates me just as much. Another thing that really irritates me is the facts that some of the Windows fanboys are just feeling so high-class just because they spend lets say a thousand dollars on their pc, instead of four thousand dollars on a Mac Pro, and then say: My pc has the  same specs and I've just paid a thousand dollars for it. Its so useless, because people who buy a Mac from four thousand dollars could, could have bought a pc with similar specs for a thousand dollars, but they didn't because they want to use OS X and not Windows.

And then you'll have the drivers, I know this is just my pc, but I'm always having problems with the driver of my wireless card, and it drives me crazy, in fact, I just gave my 400 euro pc away to my dad, because I really hated that thing. Another thing that really irritates me are the viruses, and I now that if you'll have a good virus-scanner that this problem is as good as over, but I've never even bothered to look for a virus-scanner for my MacBook.

Thanks for reading, and leave a comment, if you'll have a question, or just want to share your opinion.
