Many years ago, in a galaxy far far away… I got my first PC. Since then, I’ve had many PCs and quite a number of laptops. But today, for the first time, I’m the happy owner of an Apple computer: a 15″ MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo… which I bought at the Palo Alto…
Finally, Apple has released the new MacBook Pro laptops with Core 2 Duo processors, more memory and FireWire-800 connectors. Click the image for more information.
Just bought an 80GB Video iPod! Awesome gadget and a nice way to get into the whole podcast/vidcast mindset. Unfortunately, I have to deal with Apple’s iTunes software to manage it. I’m currently on an IBM T42p laptop (waiting for Apple to wake up and upgrade the MacBook Pros to Core 2 Duo), so this…

I believe it would help convince wannabe-switchers to take that final step and purchase a Mac. When the first MacIntels came out, I began seriously thinking about switching from my all XP set-up. Running the Vista…
I’ll begin this series on usability mistakes with a perfect example of “how to waste your customer’s time and turn them away.” DADAmobile is a web service for downloading games, ringtones and other content to your mobile phone. I was trying to download a game for my Treo 650 mobile phone when I encountered the…
… or why Yahoo needs to buy a desktop photo managing app, pronto. I’ve been using Flickr for a while now – I even have a Pro account (I previously used smugmug). I also use Picasa to manage my photos (having tried several versions of Adobe’s Photoshop Album). I like Picasa’s simplicity, instant image fix-ups,…
Firefox 2 Beta 1 includes a new feature that restores your browsing session when the browser crashes. So, if you were looking at twenty different tabs when your browser froze or bit the dust, your tabs won’t go to wherever it is that electronic dust-bunnies end up. Fire up your trusty browser and up will…
