Hi I'm Candice
You may know me from Youtube, Twitter, etc.

These are some photos from my weekend trip to Washington D.C. All the photos taken were with my Canon T2i, my 18-55mm kit lens, and my 1.8 50mm prime lens. 

Q&A

noahtd asked: Hi Candice, I'm a big fan of your videos on YouTube. I was wondering what you think about the rumors regarding the MacBook pro update for 2012? Will you miss anything like the optical drive that is rumored to be removed? Also what are your plans regarding the new MacBook pro; will you want to get a new model? Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for your support. I’ve been reading some rumors of Apple making a MacBook Air like 15 inch MacBook Pro. I was actually considering getting a MacBook Air 13 for college, but realized how limited it would be to upgrade later down the line. That’s what I would miss the most if Apple were to go down that path. I rarely ever use the optical drive on my current MacBook Pro. I’m probably going to wait until Apple does update the line, and consider getting one before I leave for college this August.

I’m planning on upgrading my iPhone when the new generation is release. My MacBook Pro has been having issues recently. I’m hoping to get a new Mac before I leave for college.

Will I get the new iPad?

Yesterday was the Apple event that brought us the new iPad, along with a myriad of software updates. Probably a question I got a lot now is if I’m going to get one. I’m currently using an iPad 2 in white, with 32GB of memory and AT&T 3G connectivity. Even before the annoucement began, I really had no plans to upgrade. The iPad 2 really suits my needs, and I couldn’t see the need for the upgrade. My thoughts were later confirmed. 

The new iPad is a respectable upgrade for anyone new to the iPad family, or upgrading from their original. I’m excited to see the retina screen on such a large display, and really want to see performance on apps and web browsing. But these upgrades weren’t enough to convince to upgrade. I consider it going from the 3G to 3GS, or 4 to 4S. Although I did upgrade from iPhone 4 to 4S, I feel like my tablet has a longer, how can I call it? “shelf life?” “upgrade cycle?” But I’m probably going to upgrade next year. 

Q&A

daishu asked: Since you are 18 one would assume that you are going to college now/soon. My question is what college would you like to go to or plan on going to?

I’ll be attending RPI this fall, and will be majoring in Electronic Media Arts and Communication. 

Q&A

mygeek85 asked: What is your favorite iPhone 4s case?

It actually does depend on my mood. But the cases I use the most are the Speck Candyshell, the Speck Pixelskin HD, Griffin Elan Form Graphite, Incipio Feather, and Switcheasy Rebel.

Mr. Jobs angrily held up his iPhone, angling it so everyone could see the dozens of tiny scratches marring its plastic screen, according to someone who attended the meeting. He then pulled his keys from his jeans. People will carry this phone in their pocket, he said. People also carry their keys in their pocket. “I won’t sell a product that gets scratched,” he said tensely. The only solution was using unscratchable glass instead. “I want a glass screen, and I want it perfect in six weeks.” After one executive left that meeting, he booked a flight to Shenzhen, China. If Mr. Jobs wanted perfect, there was nowhere else to go.
