Let’s compare an iPad to a netbook. Hold on…let’s not. I’m SOOOOO tired of iPad vs netbook comparisons. The iPad is NOT a netbook

Read MoreTrick or Treat from Apple
Oh Apple, you just LOVE screwing with my head. Just when it seemed like this was going to be year of nothing but iOS and mobile devices (the AppleTV being somewhat of an exception, but since it’s essentially running the iOS it hardly counts), you throw out an invitation for some serious Mac love. So let’s throw out a few predictions of what’s coming on October 20th.

iStik Hands-free 4th generation iPod Nano case and holder – Review
Ever not realize there’s a problem until someone comes up with a solution for it? If you own a 4th generation Apple iPod Nano and are physically active while using it, then you probably have some kind of case with a clip or a loop or some other less than convenient way of securing it. The iStik is a new way of doing just that. Does it work well? Read on!
Acer 22-inch Monitor – Review
What! An Acer product sullying the MyMac.com site with its PC foulness? Yes, this is a review for an Acer product. When a product that works with a Mac is a great value, then we should not automatically dismiss it just because it doesn’t have an Apple logo or that its parentage is from a company that competes in many of the same markets that Apple does. It should be judged by its merits not by who makes it.
Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual-Drive USB 2.0 + USB 2.0 Powered Hub – Review
Guy Serle takes a close look at the Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual-Drive from Other World Computing. One enclosure, two drives, 2TB of date. Good deal, or something to avoid? Read on to find out.
Is Psystar Open Computers really cheaper than Apple’s Macs?
The ongoing debacle of Psystar just won’t go away much to Apple’s dismay. Apple tried to do what they prefer to do at first, which is ignore them and hope they’ll self-destruct. Early on that seemed to be the winning move as Psystar changed its location several times, had its capability of ordering through credit cards taken away, and put out its first computers to pretty much universal derision when they turned out to noisier than Obama/McCain supporters on Fox news.
iPod Nano (4th generation) – Review
In pictures the new Nano looks much larger than the one it replaces. In real life it simply is much longer and skinnier. Imagine the 3rd Gen. put on a stretch rack and turned sideways. In more ways it resembles the 1st and 2nd generation Nanos than it does its predecessor. Let’s talk about what Apple did to make this Nano better.
Jumsoft iWeb Themes
Review
As a long time user of iWeb I have become somewhat jaded with the themes that Apple supplies with their easy to use website creation program. So much so that I did a series of articles on how to use it and make your site look anything OTHER than yet another iWeb site. It’s relatively easy to do so, cut this piece there, add a little here, not entirely unlike gourmet cooking but with a Betty Crocker Easy-Bake oven.
FS100 Digital Video Camera
Review
I’ve been avoiding buying a new camcorder to replace the 8 year old DVC tape unit for awhile now. There were plenty of tempting offerings, but none matched the feature set and price point that I was looking for until I happened upon Canon’s FS100 model at an Apple Store. While giving it a once over there, I liked the light weight, the responsive and variable zoom, the microphone input, and that at $399, it was still very much reasonable in price.
LaCie 1TB external Hard Drive, design by Neil Poulton
Review
Designer hard drives. Has it really come to this? A hard drive should be utilitarian, be robust and have oodles of space for all the stuff we want to put on it. Considering that we rarely look at them except over whatever icon is assigned to them (or that we assign to them ourselves) on our desktops to access information and data, who cares what they look like and I’ll be damned, DAMNED I say if I’ll buy a drive based on looks alone. Except…
When the deal is no deal: How a little PC company advertised a Mac compatible and lost (so far)
Ever heard of PsyStar? Prior to Monday, April 14th, 2008 I never had. This Florida-based company (it just HAD to be Florida) announced a Mac-compatible computer for sale called the Open Computer (renamed from OpenMac in the last few hours) and caused a crapstorm of EPIC proportions.

FastMac Dual 1.4 GHz G4 AGP processor upgrade
Review
Why upgrade an older computer? Macs are expensive. Especially if you’re talking about replacing one older tower with another. So is it worth upgrading an older G4? Guy takes a look at the 1.4GHz upgrade from FastMac to find out.
