I remember one of the first times I saw an Apple product with the Colorware treatment. It was on My Super Sweet 16, that classic show on MTV from back in the day, and one of the kids had a yellow MacBook Pro. After doing some research, I found out that it was done by […]
The Great Pivoting iMac Concept
The world of Apple patents can be a tricky thing. Apple puts out tons of patent applications every year, and there’s never any “sure thing” that it’s going to happen. This one though, is pretty interesting. This comes from MacRumors, and it goes like this: Take your typical iMac and make it a touchscreen. Then […]
How Do I Do That Again? Handy Stickers for your Workspace and iMac
I’m a bit of a neat freak. I like things in their place, and even if my desk appears messy at times, at least I know where everything goes. At one point, my desk was just perfect and flawless, without anything out of place. No matter how organized everything is though, I tend to forget […]
Pure Speculation: What’s Next for Apple?
So last week was a big week for Apple, what with the release of the Magic Trackpad, updated iMac and Mac Pros, 27-inch monitor, and even a battery charger, so what’s next for the company? Time to speculate wildly. September is iPod month, so first up on the plate has to be an iPod refresher. […]
Autopsy: iFixit Takes Apart the Magic Trackpad
The announcement of the Magic Trackpad the other day, didn’t exactly come as a surprise, but it sure is a cool idea. But what exactly goes on inside of that thing and how does it work? For that, we go to the gadget-stripping team at iFixit, who took a few hours to take apart the […]
iMac Updated: 16:9 Screens and Faster Processors for All
Yesterday, I was called in to do some consulting work with this new company located just north of my parent’s house on the other side of town. When I got there, I noticed a brand new 27-inch iMac box sitting on the floor, next to copies of iWork and Adobe CS5. The first thought I […]
Apple’s Doing Alright
I didn’t listen to Apple’s third quarter results, because a) I’m not an investor and b) I have a life. But I can read press releases as well as any other third grader, so here’s the highlights in Apple’s PR speak: Apple sold 3.47 million Macs during the quarter, representing a new quarterly record and […]
Things I Like: Hyperspaces
When I first got my old MacBook, I wanted to use every feature of Leopard that I could. Problem was, my 13-inch MacBook wasn’t able to handle some of the more advanced features such as Spaces, because of it’s integrated video card. Once I turned off Spaces, I promptly forgot about it until recently when […]
Going to College? Buy a Mac and Get an iPod Touch
It’s no secret that Apple is huge in the education sector. They’ve had an education section of the Apple store for years now. I remember the Apple store in my school’s MU back before OSX made its debut, back when I doubted I’d ever purchase a Mac. How things change yet stay the same – […]
The Winners of the MacKeeper Giveaway!
You may remember that a few weeks back we held a contest to win a free copy of MacKeeper, a utility for OSX. We got together a crack team of people, designated with determining who should win the contest. After much deliberation, a few fights and a missing finger (don’t mess with my donuts), we […]
