How To Batch Resize Photos - Mac Picture Resizer

If you've got a big batch of photos, resizing all of them can become quite tedious. You can resize those pictures one by one using a simple graphics editing application, or you can find an application that will let you resize a big bulk of pictures in one go. I like that last idea better. If you also like that idea, and you're looking for a batch image resizer for Mac, then you don't need to look very far because you already have one installed in Mac OS X. Free! Macs come with a built-in application called Automator that allows you to batch resize images on your Mac. You don't need to download and install any third-party applications. Automator is a very useful application that lets you create automated workflows for repetitive tasks, and functioning as a a Mac picture resizer is simply one of the things that it can do.

If you want to learn how to resize a batch of images on your Mac using Automator, then here is a video tutorial that will teach you how:

Buy A Wireless iPhone Charger - Philippines

Looking for where to buy a wireless iPhone charger in the Philippines?

I was at the Rustan's Department Store in Makati today and I was looking at some products displayed in this little tech corner that they have (it's right across Lacoste, and it's not a very big area so it's pretty easy to miss), and I saw that they are currently carrying the Powermat wireless charging systems.

The Powermat is basically this pad that lets you charge a device by simply placing the device on top of it. But your device needs to have a Powermat receiver in order for it to get power. This receiver looks just like those protective cases for mobile devices. So you just attach your device to the case, and you'll be able to charge it without a power cord.

These were the following Powermat products that I saw were available at Rustan's:

Receiver Case for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS ... Php 3,895
A receiver case for your iPhone so that you can charge it on a Powermat.

Powermat 2X Mat with Powercube ... Php 8,549
This one does not come with a case for the iPhone. It's just a charging mat with space for 2 devices. It comes with a Powercube, which you can attach to compatible devices so that you can charge them on the Powermat.

Powermat Wireless Charging System for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS ... Php 6,999
This one is a bundled package that has a small Powermat that has space for one iPhone, and comes with a receiver case for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Powermat already has a charging system for the iPhone 4, but Rustan's does not carry them yet as of this post.

*Prices may change. I also don't know how long they'll be carrying this product.

Watch this video to see how the Powermat works:


You can learn more about the Powermat by going to the Powermat website.

So are there any iPhone users out there in the Philippines who want a wireless charger for their iPhones?

Touch Screen iMac Spotted At Auto Convention

This touch screen iMac that you will see on the video was spotted at the Philadelphia International Car Show 2011. This of course is not an official Apple product (at least not yet, and I don't know if it ever will be), but one that's been modified to turn the iMac display into a touch screen.

Here is the video (skip to 1:42 if you want to see the touch screen iMac right away):



So what do you think of the touch screen iMac? Would you want one?

The Mac App Store Is Now Available

The Mac App Store is now available.

I'm pretty excited about getting to use the Mac App Store. No more of those bulky boxes and installation discs! It's going to be pretty convenient to just have to go to one place to get most, if not all, of the Mac apps that you need, that you want, and even the ones that you didn't even know you needed or wanted!

Some of the benefits and features of using the Mac App Store include:

• Easier app installation - just use your iTunes password to buy an app and the installation begins right away
• Automatic tracking of your apps so that you'll know when an update is available - you can update one app at a time or all of them at once
• Re-download purchased apps
• See what others are downloading with top charts for free and paid apps

The Mac App Store is available as a free software update for Mac computers running Mac OS X v10.6 or later.

I'm still on 10.5 so I'll have to trek to the store and buy a license and installation disc for Snow. Hopefully, that will be the last time I'll have to do that. :)

The iSnooze - Apple's First Scandal of 2011

Wow. The year has barely even begun and we already have our very first Apple scandal!

So by now I'm sure many of you have heard of the very strange iPhone alarm bug that causes all the non-recurrent alarms set using the phone to simply stop working upon the entry of 2011 - an inconvenience that has wreaked havoc on people's schedules from all over the world. In an article from the Huffington post, a reader named Lindsay G. sent in a letter explaining how she had lost her job as a result of this bug, and is now blaming Steve Jobs for her inability to pay rent. Yep. Because I'm sure she was an outstanding employee who was a great team player and had absolutely no sense of entitlement. </sarcasm>

Here are some funny reader comments from that article:

dajoker85 writes:
If Lindsay G. is that close to being unable to meet rent, she should probably not own an iPhone. 

Mattea Berry writes:
Ha! My rooster crowed at 6 am, according to the sun dial, and my horse drawn carriage got me to work right on time. A pox on all ye who rely on newfangled technology!

Fortunately for me, I have the uncanny ability to wake up at the needed time even without an alarm clock. It's just that damn Metro Manila traffic that makes me late all the time. A pox on all ye unruly bus drivers!

Mac Bluetooth Transfer - Enabling Your Mac To Accept File Transfers Via Bluetooth

Sending files via Bluetooth from one device to your Mac (and vice versa) is a pretty convenient and quick way of sharing files. It should be a fairly easy task, but if you are having trouble with your Mac Bluetooth transfers, let's say for example you want to send a picture file from your cellphone to your Mac using Bluetooth and are unable to connect, here are a few things you might want to check on your Mac's end:

1. Make sure that your Mac's Bluetooth device is on and that it is set to be discoverable. You can do this by going to the menu bar at the top of your screen. On the right side of the menu bar, you'll find the Bluetooth icon.
   
2. Launch System Preferences and go to Sharing (under Internet and Network), and make sure that Bluetooth Sharing is checked.
   

Hopefully after checking these things and making any of the necessary changes, you'll be able to complete your Mac Bluetooth file transfers without any problems.
