Dashboard is a metaphor for what’s right and wrong at Apple

Opinion 0

First, let me say Dashboard is cool, it’s sexy, it’s got neat transitions, and it is the number one selling feature of Tiger. Second, let me say Dashboard is crappy User Interface design, especially compared to what it could have been. The old Apple (before NeXT) would have been embarrassed to ever release anything this narrow in scope, and totally missing the bigger point.

Drag Bag Streetwinder
Review

Bag, Review 0

Owen and Nemo join-up for a review! When they saw these bags at last January’s San Francisco MacWorld Expo, we just knew we each had to try it, so we spent a l-o-n-g time with the company’s representative drooling over these bags, each of us for a different reason.

iPhoto 5 The Missing Manual
Book Review

Book Review 0

iPhoto 5 The Missing Manual (iP5MM for short) is yet another example of a well-written computer software manual.

But with many new and important changes in iPhoto 5, there’s plenty of information to write about.

Skin Tight for iPod Shuffle
Review

Cases, iPod shuffle, Review 0

As the name suggest, this case fits the Shuffle tightly. It becomes almost a second skin in fact. (Hey, Skin Tight!) They come in various colors, including Blue, Green, Red, White, Pink, and Black. Speck shipped a three-pack of them, including the White, Pink, and Black. I think the Black looks cool, but my wife likes the Pink.

After the Mac Mini, is there still a market for used Macs?

Opinion 0


In a recent Podcast, MyMac.com editor Tim Robertson mentioned the fact that the introduction of the Mac Mini might well have made my recent Scroll Down Book “Buying Used Macs” somewhat obsolete. The argument boils down to this: with the Mac Mini offering Internet connectivity, enough horsepower to run most home and office software, and support for all the modern USB and FireWire peripherals, is there really any need to buy a used Mac at all?
