Acer to Acquire Gateway

The news broke earlier today that Taiwan-based computer maker Acer will be acquiring Gateway Computer.

I have been purchasing Gateway computers for the past two years and happy with their service. On the other hand, I don’t really like Acer-branded computers for numbers of reasons. They are mostly personal reasons. For example, Acer shipped their computers running Windows XP with FAT-32 file format. Their computer design is far from being great.

Anyway, I currently have a pretty good business relation with Gateway, and I hope that it continues. Gateway has just recently moved portions of their assembly factory back into the United States. The latest computer I purchased direct from Gateway was assembled in the US.

By acquiring Gateway and its subsidiary, Acer is now the third largest PC company in the world.

How To: Add Photo from iPhone Directly to Web Gallery

Web Gallery is the newest feature for both .Mac Service and iPhoto ’08 (iLife ’08). Apple has quietly added the ability to send a picture from the iPhone directly to the Web Gallery.

When the “Send to Web Gallery” button mysteriously appeared during Apple Special Event – August 2007, it came back and returned an error message. In TWiT‘s  MacBreak Weekly 52, even Merlin Mann couldn’t figure out (at that moment) why this feature wouldn’t work. Eventually, the whole casts; Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko, and Alex Lindsay didn’t know how to make it work. (time stamp: 10 minutes)
Web Gallery - iPhone 01

It says:

None of your .Mac accounts have been configured for posting from mobile devices.
You must first enable this feature on the .Mac website.

Web Gallery - iPhone 02

The informations on .Mac website says that:

If you don’t see the Send To Gallery item, make sure you’ve set up your .Mac email address on your phone and that your iPhone has the latest software updates. For more information about using iPhone, see the documentation that came with it.

Before we go further, let’s get to the basic requirements:

Creating the Web Gallery:

  1. In iPhoto ’08, select the pictures to be included in the Web Gallery. Then click on the “Web Gallery” button (circled in red as pictured below)
    Web Gallery 01
  2. Check the “Allow photo uploading by email”
    Web Gallery 02
  3. On the sidebar, the newly created Web Gallery appears. You can rename the Web Gallery after it was created. On the top bar, you can find the web address and the email for that particular Web Gallery. You can send picture to the email address (on the top right as pictured below).
    Web Gallery 03
  4. The newly created Web Gallery can be accessed through the address on the top bar or directly to http://gallery.mac.com/your.dot.mac.name.
    Web Gallery 04

To add photo from iPhone directly to Web Gallery:

  1. Make sure you’ve set up your .Mac email account on your iPhone.
  2. Choose the photo you want add to your Web Gallery.
  3. Tap the Send Photo button (in the lower-left corner of the screen).

About iMovie HD 6.0.4

The existing version of iMovie HD ’06 in my PowerBook G4 and MacBook Pro was version 6.0.3. After finding out the “free” version of iMovie HD ’06 through a thread in Apple Discussion Board, I installed it on my MacBook Pro. Upon further inspections, I finally noticed that the version provided was iMovie HD 6.0.4.

I attempted iMovie HD 6.0.4 installation on my PowerBook G4, without installing iLife ’08 first. The installer specifically requires iLife ’08 to be installed first before iMovie HD 6.0.4 can be installed.

iMovie HD 6.0.4 - Can't install without iLife '08 installed.
