The author of "MakRadara" Artem Kozoriz

About Artem, as well as about all in our blog editors, we can say: a dedicated Yabloko. With the backing of a rich user experience, he made a conscious choice in favor of Apple's, and since then constantly explores the possibility of "apple" devices, which provide full-time and third-party application. But their observations and conclusions to share with the readers of "MakRadara".

- Tom, what was your first "apple" device?

- iPod nano fifth generation, graphite gray, 8 GB. With him, by the way, is related one story, and perhaps if not for her, I would never have met with Apple's, or it would have happened much later.

A friend of mine once told an online store, which is distributed free of charge for the purpose of public relations a limited number of expensive electronics and gadgets, including iPods, Playstation, watches, games and all that. You should have a daily login to the site and answer questions, earning credits, which are at the end of the month could grab anything (unless, of course, have time, it's unlikely). Some have probably guessed; for the rest I will say that it was Lockerz.com.

Well, in general, trying to get the iPod for free was not successful, but I could not calm down and decided to buy it on the hard earned. In a small town you can not just go to the store and buy the iPod, so I started looking on the Internet, where it can be bought cheaply, and can not remember how, but came on One student, who was baryzhil such as the iPod was necessary for me (he had dozens of iPods, won competitions to attract friends all VKontakte). In general, in order to save I bought it three or four iPods, and himself with a light hand was the huckster. :)

Leaving one iPod itself, I sold the rest and almost justified its price. Nano stayed with me long, I realized that this is the gadget for active people, and since I was little his scripts Use a month later, I changed it at the last moment on the iPod touch 3G, and imbued with the power and beauty iOS. That's so unusual was the beginning of my apple way. :)

- Hehe... Now baryzhish apples? :)

- But somehow after the incident and it was not necessary. Except when their devices sell before buying new, the experience is a little affected.

In iOS, I fell in love at first sight. In it I liked absolutely everything from fonts and icons and ending icon "plug" on the battery meter when fully charged.

- You say "the power and beauty of the iOS." What is the first in this system, it makes you feel the? Specific details you can recall?

- Perhaps the sense of wholeness and completeness. In those days, I, like many others, used on Nokia smartphones Symbian. The last of them was the Nokia N78, working under far from the very first iteration of the OS, but even taking this into account, in It had also great to work with a file to bring it to the state, which would have suit. In iOS, I fell in love at first sight. In it I liked absolutely everything from fonts and icons and ending icon "plug" on the battery meter when fully charged. In all this, I felt the attention to detail and care about the users. To tell the truth, sometimes I could just unlock the screen and enjoy the home screen, so iOS was good.

- so good? I know you jailbreak dabbled. ;) Something you Yabloko still not pleased?

- Jailbreak was not open, but the reasons were different. The first "untethered" I have an iPhone already become the "quartet", before it was unlocked 2G and 3GS, which without Ceyla at all. Plus, it was the "inertia" and habits of customization, developed over years of use "Symbian." Strictly speaking, the jailbreak could find an excuse up to iOS 6 - after seven, he became the lot of bearded geeks and poor students. Personally, I am absolutely satisfied with iOS in its pure form, starting with the sixth version. I am ill with all these "fit to the system by itself" and was reconstructed on the model of "everything is thought out, and choose the best", as do not regret.

- Mac Pro you can say the same thing?

- Yes! I absolutely can safely use "sink» OS X, what is more, I think, even be able to manage a set of built-in applications. When I first came Mack, of course I immediately rushed to install it in a bunch of "necessary" programs and tweaks, but it's - quickly into the same old habits of windows. With each reinstall the system completely (and I sometimes do) fall off all the "husk", and are really the desired application. I have a rule: to install new software only when the problem can not be made available - in the first place, "native" - ​​tools. I try not to deviate from this principle, and sometimes even tightens it: put the application immediately, when it becomes necessary, and the second or third time, thus including even greater "Filtering".

I have a rule: to install new software only when the problem can not be made available - in the first place, "native" - ​​tools.

- Furiously Plus. :) himself a supporter of this approach. And you can call a couple of full-time programs OS X, which you tried anything to replace, but came back? And why do not you come party counterparts?

- The first thing that comes to mind - it's Skitch. Immediately after buying the Mac I installed this application and could not get enough of its convenience and functionality. Upset one: tinkering with the export output file. Later, I rummaged in the normal "View" and realized that he was no worse - and even better, as could all the same, but it has to save the results, it was just enough to close the file. There were also attempts to replace full-time e-mail client, but sooner or later, I still come back to the Mail. Now, to be honest, I use AIRMAIL, but only because he had bought it at a discount, and once accustomed. On iOS, only the Mail, how much did not try, you still come back to it, it's perfect. :)

- And what third-party iOS-and macro-programs you still love to use and advise all their friends Yabloko?

- By its nature, I am a conservative and minimalist, so I have very little application. I'll start with OS X. One month ago (or so) I reinstalled Yosemite «clean», as it sat on the first beta, and following his principle to install applications as necessary. Who looked and was horrified, a small set of applications, enough for me to work and live.

I like to use almost all the installed applications, due to the fact that I and are carefully selected. Among them can be distinguished:

• Pixelmator - it works with graphics, for my needs is an excellent replacement for "Photoshop";
• CleanMyMac - I am rarely used, but it is a perfect example of what should be the app for OS X;
• Writer Pro - Writing Copy for temporarily using it, for lack of better alternatives (Write and Typed We got on the editorial "cronyism", and on a regular basis, I do not use them);
• Twitter - on a Mac to me with his head enough official client (even if in Tweetbot updated design, I immediately went to him);
• Parallels - a necessary measure, Windows Me only need to fill the "Roma" in the flash Karik for my old Game Boy;

• Pocket - excellent service, and the application is very helpful in organizing all sorts of interesting, both work and personal purposes;
• Things - Time was sorely missed, so I was filled with the GTD philosophy, and without there Things just did;
• Reeder - the best app for reading RSS, use it with the very first version.

All other applications use from time to time, there are a couple of utilities, such as TrimEnabler and iStatMenusBut with them, I think everything is clear. And, of course, standard applications: I like the iTunes, as the only browser Safari (Chrome only to check some sites, if they do not open). Still I use "Calendar" and "notes" because of their nativity, and easy synchronization. Oh, I forgot to mention the "View" - this program I use very often: crop the image, add notes, change the size - all in a few clicks on the fly.

- And what about iOS?

- With iOS, things are much the same, only there I did not clean up for quite some time and has accumulated trash. In addition to applications for work, there is something with the sales, a pair of seldom-used tools more unpretentious games and a couple of applications for old son. From all parts of assigned use and can recommend the following:

• Tydlig - cool calculator, such a long time I did not have enough;
• TuneIn Radio - had often listened, then I moved on to iTunes Radio and pozabrosil entirely, but this is the best radio in the App Store;
• AppZapp - Daily use of the work;
• Zite - a great aggregator of all sorts of interesting, one of the best for me;
• Pocket - all the fun of a variety of sources and is synchronized with the Mac-version here I falls;

• Evernote, Tweetbot, Feedly - this all is clear;
• lingua Leo - a great app for learning languages, trying to pull her English (which is even on the main screen it delivered);
• iMovie - I like to play around with the installation, before the case was fond of a PC;

• Scanbot - the best, in my opinion, from a scanner, use not so often, but it always helps;
• YouTube - native client the best, others are not even looking for;
• Lightroom, Snapseed, Manual, VSCO Cam, FiLMiC Pro - it's all for pinning high hopes in iPhoneography;
• Vert - the best converter, very cool.

The other applications are not very interesting, and obviously well known. At various times, they become more or less, on Thursdays I install a new game, then remove, if not like. But mostly, I was pretty skeptical to the choice of applications and leave only those who use regularly. If after installing the app I ran once or never at all, it ruthlessly deleted.

- Let's go back to the Mac... Compared with Windows, Mac you personally satisfied all, or is it have any disadvantages?

- Before the transition to OS X, I have tried many operating systems including various Linux distributions, but they all had their own shortcomings that outweighed the pros. Some stuff there and in OS X, but it is the little things that do not go to any comparison with Windows problems. I have vindovyh HTPC (A computer that serves as a home media center - A. J.), which I use with your TV for watching movies and TV shows. But even in this usage scenario with him sometimes there are shoals, on which I have long since lost touch with working for Mack. At the risk of inveterate epplboem, but - yes, Mac me all happy.

- Solid experience to entice others to the "dark side." :) among your friends there are those who switched to Mac because of you?

- On the Mac until the transplanted one, but lucky owners of iPhones and aypadov, thanks to me, it became a little bit more in the world. Macy's like almost everyone, but many constrains the price, not everyone is ready for such investment. Although, I think that those who are destined to go to the "dark side" sooner or later will make it.

- If any of those who are destined, tormented by doubts, to move or not to move to Apple's, would have asked you for advice - what would you answer them?

- How would prettier way to say... Well, take for example pies. Have purchased cakes from a nearby catering and have home cooked for you mom or grandmother. Those and other hot and satisfy hunger, but eating homemade cakes, you will also enjoy. The same can be said about Macs, not only do they help you to perform different tasks, the work of this computer will be a joy, and you will feel the care products and attention to detail. Well, something like this. :)
