DVD Bookmarking
Recently, I wanted to show one of my classes a few sections of a DVD. The DVD was not broken into chapters, so I could not count of skipping through the video with them. After searching the menus in Apple’s DVD Player, I discovered Bookmarks.
HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer
Review
The C4280 is both a Macintosh and Windows compatible printer. It can print, scan, copy, and act as a digital card reader. While a decent priced All-in-One, are there some reasons to buy or not? Tim takes a look at this HP printer.

WiebeTech’s 1.8 Inch Toshiba Hard Drive Combo Dock Adapters for Instant iPod Data Recovery
That 4th generation iPod uses a 1.8-inch Toshiba drive, so you’d want the ADAv4-18-TOSH. Some later iPods use a 1.8-inch Toshiba ZIF drive, which uses a different interface. In that case, you’d need ADAv4-18-TOSH-ZIF.
Comply Whoomp! Earbud Enhancers
Review
Our design of cradling in the bowl of the ear while funneling sound into the ear canal, gives the user both improved sound and comfort, while our gentle Comply foam reduces ambient noise.
Using iWeb 08
Part 1
Most people who own Macs these days are using some version of OS X. If their Mac is of a relatively recent vintage, they probably also have a copy of Apple’s iLife.

Photoshop Lightroom Adventure
Book Review
All the current spade of books about Lightroom explain the use of the software in similar ways. There’s not very many unique ways explain how to use the features of a software application. But what makes Mikkel’s book stand out is that it comes out of a project in which he and 11 of his photography colleagues, plus five Adobe Lightroom team members, traveled for a photography expedition in Iceland and used the early beta versions of Lightroom to post-process their work.
UNIEA iPod Case
Review
All Uniea iPhone/iPod cases are available in black, white, red, and purple. The latter two colors are my personal favorites, but black iPods and iPhones look very sharp encased in black U-Suits.

Review
Do you need a remote for controlling slide shows and other presentations on your Mac, but you don’t have a newer Mac that came with an Apple remote?
