I think critics are turning blind to the bigger picture when they say that Microsoft became complacent in the past decade. Sure they did. After the success of Windows XP, the dark ages of Windows Vista pulled the plague over most Microsoft loyalists. Add the trickle down effect of Macs due to the increasing popularity…
“Don’t repeat yourself” is one of the most important rules programming. And it makes sense: why do the same thing over and over again manually when we have computers to do that for us? For fortunately, you don’t need to be a programmer to avoid repeating yourself. Hazel brings programming concepts to even the most code-illiterate….
The first time I read about the twelvesouth BackPack adjustable shelf, I thought it was the stupidest idea I had ever seen. Really, why on Earth would you need a shelf on your iMac? What’s it going to hold, items you want to get dusty? But of course, I’m a fair guy, so I contacted…

Alright, so technically, this is a Goomba, not Mario. But first, let me explain. I can honestly say with no exaggeration that my wife and I would not be together today if it wasn’t for Nintendo.

I grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts, which makes me a die-hard Celtics and Red Sox fan. I’ve only been back once in the past 20 years or so, and whenenver I get homesick, I surf on over to the Boston Globe’s website, where I can see how my teams are doing and catch up on…
Introduced in 1998, the Apple iMac was a bold move for the Cupertino based computer maker. The system was a radical departure from previous computers made by…well, just about anyone. Apple was taking a very large gamble with the iMac. The original “Bondi Blue” iMac featured a 233 Mhz PowerPC 750, a maximum of 256…
In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, Microsoft has dropped MSN Messenger for Mac from development. The notoriously buggy application will be discontinued, but Microsoft promises that a new IM client that will work with AIM/gTalk/ICQ will be released soon. The new app has been described by Microsoft as “really, really cool and…
There are many times throughout the day that I see a website that I want to flip through, or an article I want to read, but I don’t have the time to read it. I used to leave these tabs open on my screen, but since Firefox and Chrome both have ram leak issues, eventually,…
My wife and I have differing tastes in our iPhone accessories.While I enjoy the comfort of a plastic case, she prefers the look of a skin. For her iPhone 3G, she bought a Gelaskin case, but up until the other day, she couldn’t get a case for her new iPhone 4G. Now, things have changed….
