Double Decker USB Plugs Haunt my Dreams

Double Decker USB Plugs Haunt my Dreams
I have a MacBook Pro, and although I love it, one big problem is the lack of USB ports. I almost always need a hub of one kind or another, so that I have enough room to plug in my mouse, external hard drive and everything else that seems to have a USB cord on Read more…

Zemno DeskBook MacBook Dock Looks Neat and Pricey

Zemno DeskBook MacBook Dock Looks Neat and Pricey
I’m a big fan of docks, stands, and in general, organization. I’ll spend a ton of money on getting everything in my workspace situation just right, then inevitably, something will change a few weeks later and I’ll tear it all apart again. One thing that I’ve always wanted for my Mac that my wife has Read more…

Things I Like: Hyperspaces

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 Read more…

The Haters Versus the Lovers

The Haters Versus the Lovers
I do enjoy my Apple products. Right now I’m hammering away on my MacBook Pro with my iPhone at one side and my Airport Express providing two network connections to the house. But I don’t think I fall into the category of fanboy, no matter how many Apple products I own. Why? I don’t think Read more…

Going to College? Buy a Mac and Get an iPod Touch

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 – Read more…

The Yankees Hate the iPad

The Yankees Hate the iPad
There are very few things in this world that I can honestly say that I hate. I’m not a huge fan of broccoli, but I’ll eat it. I don’t really enjoy flying in the back of a plane, but sometimes it’s all you can do. But I truly and deeply hate the New York Yankees. Read more…

The Winners of the MacKeeper Giveaway!

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 Read more…

The Apple Remote

The Apple Remote
Oh, the Apple Remote. I remember when I first bought my white MacBook back in 2007 – my introduction to the Mac scene – and found the little white remote to control Front Row. I had no idea what it did at first, and once I did finally determine its use, I promptly threw it Read more…

Preparing for the iPad Waiting Line

Preparing for the iPad Waiting Line
Image via Engadget I spent some of my day today driving to one of the Apple stores by my house so I could look for accessories. It was the same store that I went to a few years back to get my iPhone 3G, and it’s a bit bigger than my usual store, the Apple Read more…

iFixit Goes Big

I have this old HP laptop that I got years ago in trade for fixing someone’s Windows box. I haven’t used the thing in years, and for the past three it’s spent its days underneath the buffet in my dining room. After cleaning up the dining room the other day, I found the thing and Read more…
