Rules in Mail
It seems like every day that I learn a new thing about the Mac. Yesterday I was surfing the web when I found this article by Ben Brooks on The Brooks Review about how he integrated a system similar to Gmail’s priority inbox feature into his Apple Mail workflow. I instantly went to Mail and [...]
Get a Desk for your iMac
The design of Apple products has influenced the look of other companies across the world for the better. Remember the other day I told you about a cool desk that a friend pointed out to me? Well it’s called OneLessOffice, and it’s pretty damned cool.
I think the tagline kinda says it all:
At one time, you [...]
OG AppleTV Gets the Shaft
When the new AppleTV was announced, I was pretty excited – obviously – but then I started to wonder about what this meant for my original AppleTV that was housed in the living room. The UI looks the same on the new version with just a few changes, so wouldn’t it make sense that there [...]
FaceTime on the iPod Touch
If you had asked me two months ago what three things I could count on to be 100% reliable, I would’ve said death, taxes, and the iPod Touch is going to get FaceTime. Apple has been making a big push for the technology to take off since the iPhone 4 came out this summer, and [...]

One thing that almost seemed to slip through the cracks in all of the excitement was the announcement of iOS4.2, the version of iOS that will finally unify the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. For the first time, every device will have the same OS and for the most part, the same features. [...]
Get Tricky with the @Rest iPad Stand
The other day, a friend of mine linked me to site that’s run by a local company (well, local for me, anyways), that makes really cool desks made in the Apple aesthetic. In fact they’re so cool, I may just post about them later this week. While I was perusing the site, I found out [...]
Big News of the Day: AppleTV
I’m one of the few people out there who own an AppleTV. I bought it originally because I wanted to find a way to get my movies from iTunes onto my TV without purchasing a Mac Mini. Does it work? Sure, but it’s a bit finicky at times. Up until today, I was pretty sure [...]

Apple Gazette Reviews: Plants Vs Zombies
My wife has a problem. A few years back, she was all about PopCap games online. She’d play them for hours, and things would just get left on the wayside. She ended up giving up cold turkey one day, and things have never been better.
Then I bought Plants Vs. Zombies for my iPhone [iTunes link]. [...]
