If you’re not using an accounting package, and your business is a Service, then you might be able to use Numbers’ Invoice Template.  This is not a replacement for a full-featured accounting package, but it might get you through.  After the break Using the Template to do business.

NASA – Fractured:

“This observation from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the floor of a large impact crater in the southern highlands, north of the giant Hellas impact basin. Most of the crater floor is dark, with abundant small ripples of wind-blown material. However, a pit in the floor of the crater has exposed light-toned, fractured rock.”

I’ve met a few people whose main accounting is their check register.  They don’t want or need a full-on personal finance system like Quicken, or Mint.com.  They want to enter their purchases and deposits and mark when checks have cleared.  What they want is an electronic check register.  After the break, a check register that might work for you if you are one of these types.

I like writing these blog entries.  A few people have complained that they are not technical enough, and that is not who I am trying to reach.  Yes, I want the technowarrior, but I also want the technophobe.  So, here is how I  see things going forward.

I will not be posting links to other articles except through my twitter feed.  You can subscribe to my tweets, or just come to my site.  I’ve brought back my twitter feeds widget.

I will write a post a day which will come on the front page.  I will also continue to find and post on Fridays cute Kitten videos.  This is non-negotiable.  I just like those videos.  My topics will still be Apple leaning with a foray into other OSes and devices.

I think in the hoopla over this non-issue Apple forgot two very important things.  I think that they forgot it because they were never in this position before, or they forgot their lessons learned.  What these 2 important things were after the break.

My favorite syncing app is up to 4.1.  If you own Chronosync, the upgrade is free.  Just $40 if you are new user.

Apple 3rd Quarter results

by Clay Moore on July 20, 2010

in Apple

Here it is from their mouth so to speak

Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 third quarter ended June 26, 2010. The Company posted record revenue of $15.7 billion and net quarterly profit of $3.25 billion, or $3.51 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $9.73 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.83 billion, or $2.01 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 39.1 percent compared to 40.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 52 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Pretty good for a company so terrible that everyone is returning their iPhones.

After all the testing I use a lot of programs to help me do my work.  With all of these programs why do I still find myself using iWork?  I think I know the answer and I will discuss it after the break.
