An iPod that matches this site’s current color scheme, RED

New iMacs and speedbumped Minis
Now there’s a 24″ iMac. Impressive because that would mean its display is an inch “bigger” (they’re measured diagonally) than my 23″ Cinema Display. It’s tempting though. I could trade in my entire G4 with 23″ display for one iMac, … Continue reading

Getting re-acquainted with QuarkXpress
Back in July, two representatives from Quark came to the CapMac meeting to demonstrate the new Universal (compatible with PowerPC and Intel-based Macs) version of their product. I remember the last time how QuarkXpress was the biggest holdout on making … Continue reading

The PowerMac G5 is dead, long live the MacPro
In all the excitement this week, I forgot to blather on (maybe shill) for the new MacPro that was announced this Monday. I don’t work on Mondays at Apple so my energies are spent on anything but my job. When I … Continue reading

Please don’t squeeze the iPod
I thought it was a joke from the purveyor of continuous humor mails. When I clicked on the link, it turned out this was real. Makes you wonder who buys such a thing. Instinctively, most people think of aDumb and … Continue reading

GoLive will soon be GoDead
When it comes to Webpage-composition software, I bet on the losing horse again. With the merger of Adobe and Macromedia comes the culling of duplicate products and my choice of GoLive over DreamWeaver provedpointless. Oh well, I can probably cling … Continue reading

iBook is dead, long live MacBook
Finally! A worthy successor to my iBook G3. I figured that the iBook’s successor wouldn’t be out much later. How much later? I don’t really know, the whole Intel transition for Apple is an ongoing matter that I’m not privvy … Continue reading

Another Intel-based portable, getting closer
Apple officially released the 17″ (43 cm) version of the MacBook Pro, aka a Mac-based portable with an Intel processor. Still too big for the backpack my wife made me years ago to carry and store my old 5300c, … Continue reading

Boot Camp isn’t training for Systems Engineers
A while back, one of the rumor sites had a contest to see who could successfully make a MacBook Pro boot on Windows XP. I figured it was inevitable with the Intel-based systems. When I read how the winner pulled … Continue reading

More anti-Mac hysteria debunked
Several days ago, I was a tad dismayed over some story about a Mac OS X Server being hacked into in 30 minutes. Most of those claims tend to be bullshit but I always check with my fellow co-workers who … Continue reading

Fourth iPod arrives
This Thursday, my fourth iPod arrived. I’m on my fourth because I always manage to sell the previous iPod to someone who wants it. The buyer gets a substantial discount on it too and they’re in decent shape. Contrary to … Continue reading

New Intel-based Mac Mini
I’ll be brief about this. I may be an Apple employee but my site is not another outlet to shill for them when I’m not getting a piece of the marketing budget. Today, the big announcement was the revision … Continue reading

The usual alarmist nonsense
Once again, there’s allegedly another “virus” going around that proves Mac OS X isn’t secure and it’s just as flawed as Windows. For my fellow Mac users, let me explain and assure you what it really is. Firstly, it’s … Continue reading

MacWorld 2006 Today
The first of many Intel-based Macs were revealed today. If there were a betting pool, I would’ve lost since my guess would’ve been the Mac Mini as the first since that’s the easiest and cheapest box to make. Doesn’t … Continue reading

iTunes 5
Well it arrived earlier this week (or last, depends upon when you read this). I upgraded too and all I can tell immediately is the change of the interface. There are other features explained officially at www.apple.com/itunes such as preventing objectionable content … Continue reading
