No one ever wants to hear that their brand new Mac is going to be dead on arrival right after purchase. Despite this obvious reality, it appears that this is exactly what is taking place with the Core i7 based iMacs.
I am not saying that this is reflective of Apple dropping the ball so much [...]

Sorry to be the one to point this out, but as a reformed smoker from YEARS ago, if you smoke around any electronic appliance, you are an idiot if you expect the warranty to hold up.
Back in my PC repair days, I found countless computers caked in yellow nastiness from smokers, often creating issues with [...]

To be honest, I have a number of mixed feelings on the idea of a Mini Server edition. I mean, the Mini was always best targeted to the new Apple users who did not wish to drop $1000+ on a new computer first time in.
But with the changing economy, comes the need for a cost [...]

Honestly have never been too impressed with the AirPort Extreme or the Time Capsule. This being said, the improvements being described here sound like they are long overdue.
The new antenna design for the AP Extreme are great to have available for sure, while the bugs plaguing the Time Capsule in the past appears to be [...]

Despite the fact that we are still very much in a troubled economy, ripe with job loss, Apple is seeing Mac sales doing quite well everything considered. And to that end, computer sales overall, appear to have recovered greatly despite the continued economic troubles felt by other industries.
With the upcoming release of the Windows 7 [...]

I think by now it is fairly obvious that the Apple Tablet is real, it is coming and the projected price point is fairly likely. Despite the economy still being in the tank (talking about jobs, not Washington hot air), a sub-$1000 portable Mac is just what the doctor ordered for most people out there.
Assuming [...]

In many ways, I can see Apple opting to offer up two individual tablet computer models as making sense. Price, features and even battery life would certainly justify why a company like Apple might want to provide significantly different tablet options to the end user.
But according to this article, the differences are really more about [...]

New Features are on the way for the Mac, according to this source.In addition to the coming new features, there is also talk of a Mac redesign to update things a bit. Wonder what Apple has in mind here?
Visions of the old color encased Macs keep coming to mind. But no, I am sure these [...]

It’s been rumored for sometime now that Apple was working on their own variation of a netbook in hopes of competing in this growth market. But unlike existing netbook options, this one will be of the touch screen variety.
Thus far, pricing remains a bit sketchy, as does what it will look like. But there are [...]

In the past there have been some charges that the Mac mini is simply overpriced junk. And while I am not in a position to make statements one way or the other, I can give my observations based on some recent data that I uncovered.
According to this piece, there is about $400 ($387.14) spent on [...]

Apple continues to march forward in their case against Apple clone company, Psystar. Despite seeing Psystar going into bankruptcy proceedings, Apple remains on the attack and is hopeful to make an example out of this company in any way it can.
My perspective on Psystar is that it was a bad idea from the beginning. What [...]

It’s almost like something outside of Minority Report: OS X with facial tracking functionality! What will be really interesting is to see if we are looking at an OS X with the iSight camera being able to detect moods, not just facial expressions or movement.
Imagine your Mac having the ability to greet you with some [...]

Even my Mac using wife might have missed this one had it not been for this article. Apparently Apple has slyly upgraded screens for the 13in unibody Macbooks. It’s difficult to say exactly why, but regardless it is going to be the consumer of these Macbooks that will be reaping the benefits in the long [...]

So while PC manufacturers are seeking to compensate for dropping sales with netbooks, Apple may find itself relying on iPhones and iPods to make up the difference as Apple has made it clear they have zero interest in netbook sales. If this was a healthy economy, I might applaud their desire here. But the facts [...]

It never ceases to amaze me just how far out there some computer commercials can be. One of my all time favs, the famous Apple Super Bowl ad for the Macintosh, was nothing short of awesome. And much like their commercials of today, are designed to get you to investigate the product further.
Whether it be [...]

If you happen to be the owner of a MSI “hackintoshes,” then you are going to love the latest OS X updates! It seems that Apple has done the hackintosh community a service by helping to extend the battery life for select models of notebook computers.
What is surprising is that while this was clearly supposed [...]

As you can clearly see from the image to your left, Mac power cable defects are hardly new. Actually,the same might be said for PC notebooks as well. But this article on those sought after MagSafe adapters ought to serve a reminder to be aware of anything you use in the realm of notebooks and [...]

Honestly, I am surprised that it has taken this long to come out! Video answering machine for iChat - what is the hold up? I find it difficult to believe that the technology is so advanced that we have yet to hit this stuff yet in the realm of “possible”?
But what impressed me about the [...]

Normally, the idea of a Mac user returning to the dark depths of the PC world is just not something that would happen. For others, it is a matter of the individual in question learning over time that they end up using the PC more than the comparable Mac for many of the most common [...]

Just like with any operating system, it is often the indy developers that make the best software. The trick is, knowing where to actually locate software that is both safe to use while also seeing 25% of each sale going to charity! Tie that in with supporting indy developers and it might be a fair [...]
