Apple’s latest TV ad pays homage to the old Rankin/Bass stop motion Christmas Specials we all hold so dear.

That’s right. Will and I are among the very first handful of people in Dubai with working iPhones. After confirming from the only guy we knew with an iPhone that the anySIM unlocker was working with an Etisalat SIM card, we made my sister buy us two US-spec 8GB models and FedEx them immediately. 2 […]

I rarely comment on this blog about new Apple product announcements. There are hundreds of sites that do it better than I could, and even though I geek out about this stuff, I don’t find it all that interesting to write about.
This morning, US pacific time was another Apple “special event” dubbed “The Beat Goes […]

I know I’m a bit of a mac-fanboy Microsoft-hater, but even I’ll admit that the XBox 360 is great and the demonstration they’ve been given of their Surface computer is pretty friggin awesome. But you should check out this video if you’d like to know what some of the other fanboys are thinking…

I thought I would balance my karma by promoting a great deal on some independent developer shareware since my last post was essentially about how to steal photoshop.
For the last month or so, Phil Ryu’s MacHeist has been selling a deeply discounted bundle of really great shareware apps for $49. It’s a limited-time offer that […]

Unfortunately I do not own a copy of Photoshop CS2, only CS, and unfortunately, the CS3 Beta requires a CS2 Serial Number. Lucky for us all, some nerds cracked the Intel Mac version in about a day after its release. I found the instructions on demonoid.com, but they were a little confusing, so the following […]

I find the arrow links in the iTunes library excruciatingly useless when they link to the iTunes Store. They SHOULD link to your internal library instead. (Hint: Holding OPTION while clicking the link DOES take you to your internal library)

I have used a number of different downloaded scripts to change this default behavior in the […]

I am becoming a huge Apple Aperture advocate (alliteration). So much so, that I am thinking about buying a copy just because I think the deserve the money. I hated previous versions because of the giant database file it produced with all the photos packed inside. I hate iPhoto because of how it organizes photos […]

I recently purchased a brand-spanking-new Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. This is my third Apple laptop in about 6 years. My last Aluminum Powerbook G4 was a workhorse, but my patience wore out after the Airport card went and Apple people told me the logic board needed to be replaced to get wireless working again. […]

About a month and a half ago, I broke down and bought a US spec, NTSC, deluxe edition XBox 360. I knew I was courting the enemy, but frankly I was preparing for the long summer cooped up in the apartment, and I played Call of Duty 2 on a friends system and nearly shit […]

I bought a MacBook Pro about three weeks ago.
I haven’t had any major issues with it (none close to what I’ve been reading, anyway), and I’ve been quite happy with it so far.
I’ve been reading a lot about the MacBook Pro and everyone’s complaints about heat/noise/etc., keeping a good eye on the developments.
I love […]
