I would like to tune into this and share my current home office setup - everything from the desk to the computer and camera. My Usecase The ideal setup does not exist. But if it does, it strongly depends on what you do at your desk. In my case, I am in online meetings most of the day - presenting our software…

Great iPad Games

After writing about my favorite iPhone games (some of which I also play on the iPad), today I want to share a few of my favorite iPad games. The iPad really shines with titles that use the larger screen well or require precise touch controls. No surprise, most of my picks fall into the strategy and puzzle category. iBomber Defense Classic tower defense with a twist Yes, another tower defense game—I can’t help it! The genre demands patience, strategy, timing, and instinct… basically everything I don’t have, but I still love playing. iBomber Defense brings a unique style to the mix. The graphics are…

Mac App-Recommendation: Better Snap Tool

Managing windows on a Mac can sometimes be a bit tricky. Back in Windows 7, there was a very handy feature: drag a window to the left or right edge of the screen, and it would snap to full height but half the screen width—perfect for working with two apps side by side. For a long time, macOS didn’t offer anything like that, which is why I want to share an app recommendation. BetterSnapTool, created by Andreas Hegenberg, fills exactly this gap—and goes even further. It not only replicates the classic snap-to-edge functionality, but also lets you define your own…

The Apple Maps Controversy: What’s Really Going On with iOS 6?

The media frenzy around Apple’s new Maps app in iOS 6 has been frustrating to watch. Reports of navigation glitches, display issues, and inaccurate locations are everywhere. Some headlines go so far as to call the whole thing a "disaster" and a "major embarrassment" for Apple and its new operating system. But before we join the outrage, let’s take a step back. What’s behind Apple’s decision to switch from Google Maps? Are users really stuck with a broken product? And what are the alternatives? Let’s break it down. Yes, There Are Errors — But That’s Only Part of the Story…

Mac App Recommendation: ControlPlane

Who hasn’t been there? You take your MacBook with you wherever you go—work, home, a friend’s place, university, or the library. But each of these places has different needs: you might need different apps, network settings, or audio volumes depending on where you are. To solve this hassle, a clever developer created a free Mac app called ControlPlane. ControlPlane lets you define contexts (like “Work,” “Home,” or “Library”) and detect them using evidence sources—things like the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to, the time of day, or whether an external monitor is plugged in. Based on this evidence, ControlPlane automatically switches…

Why the iPhone 5 Will Be a Success

As some of you know, I’m a bit of an Apple fan. But don’t worry—this isn’t going to be a sales pitch for the latest gadget from Cupertino. I simply want to share why I still believe the iPhone is the best smartphone on the market—and how the iPhone 5 only reinforces that view. A Big Step Forward Last week, Apple officially introduced the long-awaited iPhone 5. Unlike past launches, many details had leaked ahead of time—whether intentionally or not. And yes, as a longtime Apple follower, I couldn’t help but think, “This never would’ve happened under Steve.” That said,…
