Creating Business Cards Online
Yesterday I had my first business cards made, I used Staples custom printing services to do it. I ordered online and within 4 hours they were ready to be picked up. It was fast and easy too. It took me about 15 minutes to get everything designed and ordered once I picked my layout. You can customize them to your needs as well. The only unfortunate thing is that you need to use Internet Explorer to add any customizations.
I love my business card, I think it looks great. Nice and simple, very sharp and clear too. The quality is good as well which is something I was concerned about when I ordered the cards.
Mandy also ordered her business cards and picked them up today, they look amazing as well. Take a look:
Business cards are a vital part of the business world they are still around today even with the Internet (and Vcards). It is important to exchange business cards if you are looking to keep in contact with someone you might want to inform about your business ideas, products, services, etc. I have been attending a number of events lately where everyone is handing out business cards, it really is important to have one even if you just put contact information on it. Having connections is everything in the business world.

Why Choose A Mac As Your Next Computer?
The other day I asked Twitter this question, “If you could had to choose between a Dell XPS 730/Custom built PC or a Mac Pro - which would you choose and why?” - I had a feeling the replies would pour in and they did. Thanks to everyone who replied.
Twitter replies:
mand3rz @besttechie i would go mac pro. why? so I can have your old desktop :D
karolw @besttechie I would choose the mac pro. Because The Dell XPS has a high price range. And, it’s used mostly for gamers. IMO I would pick Mac.
jurassicjon @besttechie If I had a choose, i would so go for the Mac Pro, got to love the Mac OS
easy_way @besttechie this may be a bilt late but id get the mac pro cuz you aredy have a pc and a desktop mac would be nice
prozac420 @besttechie Mac Pro, because I’ve been jonesing for a Mac for years
ChrisTheMacGuy @besttechie Choose the Mac Pro; OS X is a far superior operating system to XP or Vista; You’ll pay more for the Mac Pro but it’s worth it.
krippl @besttechie Personally, I’d love a custom built Hackintosh. Best of both worlds
jeffreyrr @besttechie depends on your budget. Would either be Custom PC or MacPro. Custom is cheaper/better than XPS or MacPro bc it can do mac + win.
jfcap @besttechie custom built. Dell and Mac == no good.
gnimsh @besttechie mac pro. Dell probably has vista, custom PCs, like my desktop, can have stupid quirks, and I want to try os x.
paykan @besttechie mac pro simply cause it aint no Windows machine
dasfamiliar @besttechie Mac Pro. Because not only you could run os x, you can run Windows under bootcamp and still get full access to the video card. :)
David_Ford @besttechie: Are you serious?
Bayliss @besttechie - Mac Pro, pc’s aren’t as good as they used to be.
While I do not necessarily agree with all of the reasons as to why, I think we are starting to see a serious trend here. That trend being people migrating over to Apple computers. Why exactly are we seeing this trend? I mean, is it the hardware that’s better or is it the software that’s better or both?
Well, let’s take look at the hardware - the hardware in today’s Mac’s is superior, if not equal to that in a PC (Windows machine). Not only that, but it just seems to work right out of the box, why is that? Well, Apple has strict control over what hardware is used with OSX so they can easily manage drivers. Whereas, on the Windows side - Microsoft has their work cut out for them. Microsoft has to make sure their software (Windows) runs on almost any hardware on the market and for that, I give Microsoft some props. I am firm believer that it is not Microsoft’s job to make drivers for a product to work with their operating system - that’s the manufactures job.
On the software side of things, OSX trumps Windows in all aspects, period. OSX provides excellent software right out of the box, meanwhile, Windows not so much. I think that is a key feature of an operating system (the tools and software provided with it), after all, it is supposedly a system in which you can operate your computer on a daily basis.
This is why I am choosing a Mac Pro as my next computer. What will your next computer be? Leave a comment!
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware Review
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is honestly, the most advanced anti-malware application I’ve seen to date. However, while it is advanced and can remove even the toughest malware, the user interface is clean, simple, and easy to navigate and understand.
Reasons why I love Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware:
- Regular definition updates / detection rules.
- Awesome heuristics - heuristics allow the application to make educated decisions based on definitions to detect newer malware.
- Very fast and efficient scanning - the quick scan will become faster with every use!
- Scanning is not limited to a single drive - you can scan multiple hard drives.
- Friendly User Interface
- Context Menu options which allow you to scan files on demand.
- Includes addition tools to help remove malware such as FileAssassin.
- Built-in real-time protection - the real-time protection is non-intrusive and will help keep you safe. (requires product registration)
- The Malwarebytes Anti-Malware license is a lifetime license meaning it’s valid for all future product updates. No other anti-malware application does that!
What do you think of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware application? How has it worked for you? Leave a comment! I will send any problems and/or feature requests to the developer.

My Computer Setup
I have gotten numerous requests since I started streaming back in April 2007 to show off my computer setup. Well, I finally decided it was time to do just that. Although I may need to make a new one in the near future to show off the Mac Pro when I order and receive it this will do for now.
What do you think of my setup? Leave a comment!
