Glavred "MakRadara" Alexander Marfitsin

Togliatti is famous not only because it is the birthplace of "AvtoVAZ" and "Courage Bambeya" - in this glorious city lives and Alexander Marfitsin, which is the eighth month at the helm "MakRadara". About how he has come to "apple of life" and what his approach in the development of our blog, Sasha told in this interview.

- Sasha, how long have you moved on "apple side"? What was your first device with an Apple logo?

- On the "apple of the" I'm with 2009, when I bought iPod nano 3rd generation. Then I sold it, added money and bought his first iPhone 3GS. Since then, almost without a break with the "apple".

- And what prompted you to buy just the iPod, rather than any other player?

- It was one of the easiest-door in Apple's world. One of the most affordable. I have long regarded Apple products on their official website and decided to slowly get acquainted with the "apple" philosophy through their products. Therefore, I start small.

- And why you have started interest in Apple as a whole? Everyone has their own reasons: some love everything stylish and beautiful, the other, of course, want to show-off drive, and others looking for a more comfortable and successful products and solutions... How evolved for you?

- It all started, as I recall, with the presentation of the first iPhone. Then I did not have internet, so my friend and I bought the magazine "Gambling", which were all sorts of discs. One of the rooms was a disc just with this presentation. We put the disc in the DVD-player and started playing. That's probably when I became interested. Although he did not understand then the charms of Apple: if I had a regular Windows-PC and smartphone Nokia's Symbian.

- Why did you switched from "Symbian of Nokia," on the iPhone, perhaps asking too. :) And why did you decide to switch to Mac? For windsurfing were certain claims, or an iPhone impressed and decided to expand its "Apple experience"?

- In fact, to the WIND I've always had a claim. Realized that for me is the best fit is Mack. Therefore, as soon as an opportunity, I immediately bought myself MacBook Air. What I am very happy.

- By the way, on the Mac for a long time work?

- 9 months of work, but the feeling that used these machines lifetime. Vindovyh hell quickly forgotten.

- And what you initially most pleasant surprise in the iPhone and MacBook? Any hardware tokens or software solutions ...

- Simplicity and ease of operation. It is obvious that when we first met you see just that. All chips and technologies do you see then, looking deep. But the fact that they provide on the surface, usability, best seen.

- How organized is your workplace? I know you have their number.

- Yes you are right. I have several jobs. I can work at home, office or cafe. Home - from your PC or laptop, in the office or cafe, respectively, with only a laptop.

At home, I still use my old PC vindovyh that will soon want to upgrade to Apple's desktop. As the laptop I - MacBook Air 13 "2013. Keep the battery 9-10 hours than he really impresses me. It's easy to take with you and work from anywhere.

Due to the fact that I do not have a permanent job, I do not have any special accessories. I can use any table to get started. The main thing that was sure the Internet. All the necessary information - in the cloud.

- lists of favorite programs faster on your iPhone and Mac formed? What is your working tool?

- On the Mac is a browser, e-mail, RSS-reader yes twitter client. Actively use also Pocket, OneNote to conduct personal notes. Added to this are many photoappendices on the iPhone. Aypad for me, the perfect gadget for reading all kinds of content.

- What prog of its stock you could recommend to readers of "MakRadara"?

- As an organizer use Fantastical and very pleased. Quickly add events and reminders, it works in conjunction with the standard, which is very convenient. Financial manager I have a half years CoinKeeper. They say that there are better solutions, but I got used to it already. I like the mechanics: pulled a coin and quickly recorded consumption.

1Password - better storage of passwords, everything is clear.

OneNote to view the notes in the same service from Microsoft. I like him much more EvernoteTo quickly create a note and place blocks of information as I need.

Reeder - the best app for reading RSS. Bought also the Mac version, and is very happy with this program. Pocket - real Masthev. In each browser on any device I have is an extension to quickly put off the article for later. Each client device has to read anywhere. Readability wins in typography, but in terms of functionality and the number of supported applications, Pocket simply has no equal.

Tweetbot - the best twitter client that I have ever and where ever used. FROM Mailbox convenient handle a large number of letters, which I have to work a lot. Goodreader - a great PDF-reader. The most useful feature of the program - the ability to send notes to the book's e-mail.

- And how did you find out about these programs - from surveys to "MakRadare" or in other ways? ;)

- I mostly read English-language sources and blogs. But also to "MakRadare" also I found a lot of useful applications.

"Those who do not know us, I can advise only one. Take a minute of your time, go to our blog in a browser, and I am sure you will find something interesting and useful for yourself and you will not regret the time spent. I am not ashamed of the work that we do together with our team "

- What do you as the chief editor and the reader "MakRadare" like the most? How would you recommend (or you recommend) a blog for those who still do not know about it?

- Maybe it sounds immodest, but I like the way "MakRadar" changing under my command. We have assembled a great team of writers and we are ready to reach (and have already reached) many purposes.

While working, I always put myself in the place of our readers: it will be interesting and useful for him? We do not write to "just write" - which appeared in every article we put meaning. And it gives good results, readers appreciate our approach, and we are happy to try them.

We try to do the best content in the apple among the Russian-speaking blogs. We can not say that we have become the best, but the fact that we are closer to that goal - that's for sure. We intend to continue to move further.

Those who do not know us, I can advise only one. Take a minute of your time, go to our blog in a browser, and I am sure you will find something interesting and useful for yourself and you will not regret the time spent. I am not ashamed of the work that we do together with our team.

- BSIP, as they say. :) Thank you for the conversation.
