A few years back, I went to the Apple store at my nearby mall and bought a 13-inch white MacBook, and a copy of Microsoft Office 2004. It was my security blanket, helping me make the transition away from the world of Windows, and it cost me a few hundred dollars. When Office 2008 came…
Now on sale in the Apple Store, 2 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros. The 15 and 17 inch models both feature the blazing speed of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and feature built-in iSight, iLife ’06, OSX Tiger, and weigh in at only 5.6 and 6.8 pounds. A 2.16GHz or 2.33GHz Intel Core 2…
Fastmac began shipping their new Blu-Ray burner on Friday. The drive is under $500 and is the first and only Blu-Ray Drive for Macs at present. The device allows users to store up to 50GB of data on a single disc. The drive also supports burning CD and DVD media for backward compatibility with older…
This is the video that you’ll see (assuming they don’t change it) when you install Leopard and it runs for the first time. It’s a nicely produced little intro video. Take a look.
I’ve been posting a lot of video over the past week, so it seemed like a good time to spotlight Tubesock, one of my favorite flash video grabbers for OS X. Tubesock grabs videos off the web and converts them to play on your iPod, Mac, or PSP. TubeSock knows how to convert the video…
The iPad is a unique device. For some people, it’s become a product that they carry around every day, and for others, it’s a utilitarian thing that serves multiple purposes but is still very specialized. For example, some people really enjoy using their iPad in the kitchen, so that they can access their recipes and videos while…
This unique take on the back-up drive from designer Franco Cagnina (for Intech) is a concept design that, by default, will automatically copy anything you delete from your hard drive to itself. Now, some will argue (me being one of them) that you probably don’t want the stuff you delete…you know…since you deleted it…but the…
Not your ordinary pencil, yet not quite a smart pencil either, the Apple Pencil has been the butt of many jokes since it was unveiled during last week’s Apple event. It does have pretty interesting (impressive even) features, but spoofs, parodies, disbelief, and disappointment abound. Our own Justin McGee is disturbed by the whole naming…
Vintage Macs – vintage anything, for that matter – fetch a handsome price, but who’s to say you can’t have your own 1984 Mac? Well, not exactly the real deal, but pretty, pretty close. How does a LEGO 1984 Mac sound? But wait, there’s more! Not only do you get the perfect excuse to play…
There’s a great article written by Jason Schwarz at The Street which I recently discovered, which talks about why companies like Google, Samsung and Microsoft just aren’t going to beat Apple handedly with any old product. It’s a fascinating read, so I’ll let you all check it out, but here’s a few of my thoughts…
Python is a very Mac-style language. It ditches many of the syntax conventions of traditional programming languages in favor of human-readable code, tab-based hierarchy, and abstracted memory management. It’s a great first programming language especially, which leaves a lot of folks looking for explanations on how to perform tasks that are apparently so simple, no…
Flags are a system outside of permissions on macOS that are used to control how files can be changed. They are primarily concerned with controlled the modification of a file, but differently from permissions. Flags can only be set by an administrative user or the owner of the file, except in cases of system flags….
