Apple announced that Snow Leopard will be available on the 28th of this month. While not a massive overhaul in terms of features – Snow Leopard will deliver more speed. How refreshing, seriously, that a technology took a full revision cycle to clean things up and work on making things more efficient instead of simply […]
Apple released updated MacBook and MacBook Pro’s today. As I and many others had postulated they do indeed come with a new trackpad that accepts gesturing like the MacBook Air. Speed bumps are moderate up to 2.6Ghz on the MBP.
I really have no reason to upgrade but the wife needs a new laptop so […]
So with MacWorld San Francisco well behind us. Mac users are wondering what to expect from Apple in the near future. I would say you can bet that the next 10 months will see mostly incremental hardware and software updates. With OS X 10.5 Leopard, MacBook Air and iPod Touch still being relatively new and […]
You might not know it from the title of this post but I do like to-do lists. Often referred to as “todos”, “to does” or my favorite “2do.” But, I have searched high and low over the years and have yet to find a program for OS X that works right. The problem is that […]
Yesterday I wrote about finally getting an Intel based Mac which in turn has prompted me down the road towards Leopard. Hardware in place, not that my G5 couldn’t do Leopard, I have turned my attention to software. What will work and what won’t? How much is this upgrade really going to cost me? The […]
I’m getting old. I have never really been an early adopter but lately I have become a bona-fide slow mover. I bought my first new computer in over 5 years in October. I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro from the online Apple Store. I knew I wasn’t ready for Leopard anyway so I wanted something […]
Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize and Apple proudly gooshed with accolades for this member of their board with a big shout out directly from their home page today. Peace? If spreading chicken little fear throughout the world is “peace” then maybe. If releasing a scare-monger, junk-science driven “documentary” to the world and telling […]
Yesterday AppleInsider wrote that they have reliable sources telling them that the Mac Mini is EOL (End Of Life). I cringed. Could it be? Well as much as it pains me to say it it seems Apple’s track record of willingness to kill off its own little ones is pretty clear. First to mind is […]
My father introduced me to the Mac in 1984 with a 128k. I was pissed. I was in 7th grade and had done a little Basic programming in school on Apple IIe’s and IIc’s. This Mac thing sucked, where was my ability to write programs? I had started writing a simple text game, at school, […]
The big news today, if you haven’t already noticed, is that Apple and EMI announced that you can now buy DRM free music for $1.29 per track. DRM stands for “Digital Rights Management” and is the software system built into iTunes and your iPod that keep you from playing your iTunes purchased music on other […]
