According to a MacScoop report, Tiger users who do not wish to upgrade to Leopard will be offered the final version of Boot Camp for $29. Apple has never remained clear on if Bootcamp would remain free after the Beta ended, and has done something similar to this by offering Jaguar users iChat for [...]
Recycled Vinyl Records are now iPod Cases
Some industrious folks have recycled some old 45s (that’s the small vinyl records that people people used to listen to back before the cassette tape) and turned them into iPod Cases.
You can see a pick of the John Lennon “Mind Games” case above (which has already sold). There are a total of 45 [...]

Vista Converts Reviewer to Mac!
Erika Jonietz from MiT’s Technology Review has posted a review of Windows Vista that is well worth a read to any Mac fan.

Also, I think it’s important to mention when talking about the iPhone price…which seems to be his biggest hang [...]
