Our little gadget girl hard at work.

Been a good week for my MacBook Pro. First up, the hard drive upgrade was easy and painless, thanks in no small part to the excellent Carbon Copy Cloner. Then I thought it was probably time to add another 4GB of RAM. Both things have given it a new lease of life.

Stormtrooper agreed that everything looked good. Now if only he could fit his head back out through the USB slot, how did he even get it in there to begin with?

Sometimes a little sticker is all it takes.

I love my new Magic Mouse so far. Multi touch gestures are nice, swipe and scroll work perfectly. The only downside? Loud clicky clicky. My previous mouse was completely silent so this is going to take some getting used to.

It's been a few weeks since I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to a 4S. It's already by far and away the best phone I've ever owned. I absolutely love it.

The Good

The retina display. It's not that the 3GS display was bad, but when you've used a retina display for a while, you really notice how much better it is.

The camera. Hands down a far better camera than the 3GS and it's one point where you really notice the upgrade. I've been extremely happy with what I've taken so far.

The Meh

Siri. It's cool tech I'll grant you that. I just don't really have any need for it. I've used it about a handful of times and then only for giving a demo to someone else. I just prefer typing on my phone to talking to it. Maybe I'm showing my age?

And as a sidenote, about 80% of the time Siri didn't understand what I said. Maybe it's my accent? Just yesterday I demoed it for someone and tried to confirm a reminder by saying "yes". Siri's response: "I don't recognize test". And then I tried "how do I get to the airport". Siri's response: "there are a number of Apple stores near you". Meh.
