For some reason I always seem to like and support the underdog more than the popular. And there are always new services and software being released. One of the services will usually end up being popular and the one to beat while the others will fall by the wayside even if they are eventually better. Here are a list of the services/software that I use and prefer next to their popular counterparts.
I will add more to the list as I think of them. If you can offer any suggestions where the underdog is better than the more popular competition, please leave them in the comments. I would love to check them out.
Well there are many free software things like MacHeist and MacAppADay popping up all over the internet it seems. The process of getting the software is as fun as actually getting it free. A new one that I am starting to see a little bit of info about is called WasteAWeekend.com from the creators of MacAppADay. I don’t know much about it, but they have some interesting ads they have created and a neat little video below.
I recently ordered a new 17″ Mac Book Pro from Apple computers and I received a nice big box from them yesterday, so here is the unboxing.

And now for everything that was inside:
What I Received from Apple Computers Hosted on Zooomr
Turns out the only thing inside that giant box with all that packing material from Apple was the neoprene computer case that I ordered with the computer. Such a tease.
I think it is really great that Apple wants to get the products to me as fast as they are available, but I think it might be a little more efficient if they at least waited to give me the case with the computer. I have no use for the case on it’s own. To me this was a big waste of shipping space and materials when the case could have easily been shipped inside the same box as the actual computer. If they come from different warehouses, I can understand that. Maybe ship the neoprene case in a somewhat smaller box with less packing materials, I don’t think the case is going to break that easily.
I will post pictures of the actual unboxing when the actual computer arrives next week. Sorry for the tease, I just thought this was rather funny.
