Dear Armen. Tell us a little about what you are doing

From 1990 to 2010, I did not hesitate to answer the question about the way their classes. I considered myself an entrepreneur. For three years, I find it difficult to answer. He invented his position - the head of the project "Live interestingly!». This website and app for smartphones and tablets, with the help of which we talk about the people who live interesting. The project I am developing at his own expense, due to the fact that I am the owner of several small businesses.

What is your desktop? What technology Apple and for which tasks do you use?

Most often, my workplace is a home office. Used to work for it seemed to me when buying a huge 27-inch iMac in 2011 (Intel Core i3 3,2 GHz, 1TB).

Already five years have no office. There is a table in the corner of one of the rooms of our office. There's work for the 13-inch MacBook Air 2011 (1,86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). The same laptop I usually take along on trips.

I have not been able to decide to buy something from the Apple technology. The first MacBook and iPhone bought in 2008. Since then, wherever possible, use only Apple technicians.

On the iMac at home I mainly write the lyrics, browse the Internet and video. MacBook Air to use the same, but outside the house.

At home I should Apple TV. I do not mind the money that, thanks to him in a good as watching a movie. Is periodically updated selection of videos from Youtube, which are also due to Apple TV watching on the big screen.

Daily use iPad mini 64 GB and 64 GB iPhone5s.

iPad has replaced my Kindle. With the help of the same name and native iBooks app I read the book. Basically, iPad I have to absorb the content. Read books, news, I browse the site. Instacast app turns it into a home radio. I regularly listen to podcasts a lot.

iPhone to my phone in the third-fourth place. I photograph them, write and communicate in social networks. Thanks to the iPhone I always have access to all relevant information stored in Evernote.

It's time to go to the applications that you use on your Apple-devices more often. Tell us about them.

I'll start with iPhone.

During the day, I always make a note in DayOne. Accustomed themselves to capture and then process these records. Most of them are then transformed into the problem, the idea about the contacts.

I have less and less like talking on the phone. I prefer live communication, or if the person is not there to exchange written messages. My children live far away from me. Thanks to a group in WhatsAppEach member of the family on a daily basis according to each other their news. This is something like our family chat :) Skype also worth it, but I use it mainly with a laptop.

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, VK. Write, read, talk. Almost all communication with the heroes of the magazine I have is through Messenger from Facebook.

I'm worth a few tens photoappendices, but most often rented standard "camera".

iTrckyMyTime satisfies my need for timing. As long as you do not have a clear image which takes your time, I find it difficult due to lack of organization, be productive.

If there is free time, and with no iPad, I can read with the help of Pocket and Quora.

LinguaLeo and Slovoed feed during the day to spend time English language.

Charge It helps to be mindful of your thoughts, words and deeds. Use it to mark the pros and cons in the realization of tasks for the day. Each of our lack of dignity there. If you try less to do what afflicts us and show the best quality, manages to stay longer in a joyful state.

LifeMoments one of the many available in my application in which I try to capture what is happening around me videomomenty.

iPad

First of all DayOne, Since he is perfectly synchronized on all of my devices. The same with Evernote.

When you have to type texts, which happens very rarely use iA Writer.

Books to read with the help of Kindle, iBooks. Zinio - for magazines.

Constantly make short entries DayOne.

Just used that Evernote I always have on hand. Benefit every update contribute to becoming more comfortable in it.

Safari I disconnect from the Internet only consciously, when necessary on something in a special focus. All the rest of the time, I do not see a computer or gadget with no connection to the network.

Mail client Mailplane 3 helps me at least sometimes lead my mailboxes in order. Of the tangible advantages for me - easy switching between multiple e-mail accounts.

Save interesting articles and notes in PocketTo read them later at the event on iPhone or iPad.

accessories

In every big city, where I am sure to find the Apple Store store. It has become a tradition, with no particular reason to do so. Just interesting to be there. Carry out something big lazy, so I manage all sorts of little things that keep the house more like souvenirs.

While I was the fourth iPhone, when it was necessary to shoot with a tripod used just such a combination of devices Belkin and from mikroshtativa Praktica. Recently acquired convenient Universal portable mount for smartphones. I use them. Nakuplennyh overhead lenses, zoom and even a device for panoramic video footage lying around unnecessarily.

There are two microphones iRing.

Every time I buy extra batteries for the iPhone, but used them a few times and then during the week of the alloy.

There synchronized with iPhones apparatus for pressure measurement iHealth.

Jawbone using primitive, only to have statistics how much I sleep. And then, because I'm just a little more stimulating himself to sleep.

To boot'm indifferent. On iPhones I wear them for long. Buy usually case with the flag and symbols of the country, which came a week after the arrival of rented:) This year has changed since 8 covers.

Constantly I use only Cover for iPad Mini from the company OZAKI, I picked it randomly from orange :) On iPad «big» I Leather Case from BALLY. I do not buy because of the pathos, but because they like to the touch.

How do you deal with Apple technology? That in general she gave you how to make your life more productive?

I do not get attached to the tools. Studiously avoided depending on the brands and items. As soon as I find anything more convenient for me than Apple equipment, do not hesitate to change it. I even made attempts that I have failed. I tried to replace the BlackBerry and the iPhone top-end Samsung models. He sustained no more than three days. After the iPhone still seems uncomfortable and illogical.

When faced with the PC, after a few minutes begin to experience irritation when necessary. It's like after a normal car seats on the "Lada" and "UAZ".

I do not know what will happen to the future of Apple without Jobs. Steve managed to create a religion. I can not explain why I like Apple machines. I just like to work on it, keep it in your hands.

The closest analogy to my car. In both cases, I want to be a user who is not looking under the hood. I'm willing to pay for the nice details on the level of feelings. I buy any Apple products and I am sure that after a few minutes it will be able to solve their problems.

Apple helps me to think less about the tools, focusing on goals, for which I use his technique.
