It took a couple of weeks to get here, but the other day, the UPS truck finally arrived with my brand new MacBook Pro 15″. It’s fully-loaded with 2GB RAM and a 120GB hard-drive. I opted for the non-glossy screen. And how is the screen? The extra resolution (1440×900 compared to the PowerBook’s 1280×854) is [...]
10 Very Odd iPod Accessories (from digg) The actual article is here: http://www.mytechlists.com/10-very-odd-ipod-accessories/ and not terribly-worth reading.

Not wanting to fry anything, I popped my OEM ATI9600 back inside and suffered with noticeably slower graphics and higher CPU [...]
Microsoft doesn’t like PCs sold without Windows I wonder if now that Apple machines can run Windows, if Microsoft is going to start insisting that every Mac comes with a copy of Windows and charging $100 for it? (a stupid comment I made in iChat this morning that made me laugh a little) Technorati Tags: [...]
Well, I had a busy week. When I wasn’t too busy putting hot peppers in my cat’s eye*, I considered writing something about Apple’s Boot Camp utility that everyone’s been losing their minds about — investors included.
