Review
iPod cases can make your iPod look completely different, while the best cases still retain that special iPod flavor. iPod cases are all the rage. Sure, we all know that an iPod case will protect your $300 iPod from scratches and the like, but what about your $2,000 15" MacBook Pro? How about a case for that? The folks at Speck Products must have been thinking the same thing, and recently introduced the See Thru, a two-piece MacBook Pro case that is both attractive and effective in what it does.

Expose and a Click-Wheel Mouse
In my opinion, one of the best features that was added to OSX in Panther is Expose. With the push of a key on your keyboard you can see all of the open windows on your computer, and click the one you want to switch to. If you are like me, I don’t want to stop working and reach for the F9 key. I want a quicker way to run this feature of Expose. Well, if you have a click-wheel mouse or a Mighty Mouse this Macspiration is for you

Read MoreCanon PowerShot A700
Review
When I decided to buy a new digital camera in June it wasn’t an easy decision. While I am not particularly talented, I expect a good deal from a digital camera. My main concern for a new digital camera was a better resolution, smaller size and more options. After some intensive reading up on the internet I decided on the Canon PowerShot A700, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it offered 6 Megapixels, 6x optical zoom and lots of features in an affordable package.
iToppers iBook – MacBook covers
Review
hile Apple certainly has intelligent and talented design engineers, their notebook line has changed very little over the last few years as far as the way they look goes. So, if you have a G4 PowerBook or Core2Duo MacBook Pro, unless you look closely you’ll notice very little difference in outward appearance. How can you show some individuality when they all look the same without spending a lot of money on getting your computer painted by a pro? iToppers.com.

Review
The Weeks Division of MyMac Labs just wrapped up a couple of road trips with WiebeTech’s new ToughTech Mini external drive. After flogging it mercilessly on the road, we ran it at home as well.

Bouncing Email
SPAM, or junk email is a growing problem that is not going away. For some it is worse than others. There are several ways you can fight SPAM. Some of these methods are free, others will cost you money. One is totally free, and long dismissed by many. This is the bounce feature of Apple’s Mail. I used to dismiss it too, until recently.
iBank 2
Review
Have you ever gotten your credit card bill, looked at the total, and just knew the bank got it wrong? My answer to the problem is personal financial software. For me it is “can’t do without†software, the type you install the second you get your computer. Does iBank fit that need? Check out the review.
