If you can pick one up (guy or gal model) for around $60, you’ll like its sound-per-dollar. Black is probably a better choice for most MyMac readers.

Sabre Femme and Homme iPod Speaker
Futura Laptop Desk and Laptop Computer Stand
Review
Tilting your lap away from you in a downward angle can create an unstable platform and cause fatal damage to your laptop.
NEMO MEMO
Interview with QUINCY CARROLL, CEO of iPlayMusic
In the past, guitar brands really mattered, since they represented quality manufacturing. But for a beginner guitar, there is really no difference in quality between our guitars and branded guitars. The difference is that we offer much lower prices.
eMedia My Guitar
Review
eMedia’s Animated Fretboard is wonderful. Your onscreen guitar can be right or left handed, and even upside down.

Three FM iPod car adapters

Four iPod Classic Cases
Review
iPod case selection is one of the most random, haphazard, subjective purchases made by iPod owners. The four cases being reviewed address most of the concerns an iPodder will have once the case is in active use. An iPod 80GB Classic was used for these evaluations. Both ezGear and OtterBox have comparable cases for all the latest (and many previous) iPods, plus the iPhone.
Rick Sammon’s Canon EOS Digital Rebel Personal Training DVD
Review
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel Personal Training DVD seems to be aimed at first-time DSLR owners, and Rick Sammon certainly has far more than a few things to teach them. Much of the material is pretty universal, but the DVD is specifically aimed at owners of Canon’s Rebel XTi.

The BOOK BYTES INTERVIEW with Ben Long
We live in a world that is driven by — and at the mercy of — massive levels of technology. We NEED more people to understand technology, and we need people to not be afraid of it, and we need them to learn to work with it, because we are now dependent on it.
Inclinepro Laptop Computer Support System
Review
As a designer and a machinist, there was no way I was putting my new $2,000 pride and joy on a $3 piece of plastic.

Shure SE420 Sound Isolating Earphones
Review
SE420 has a lot of punch within the audio spectrum where most music is heard. For $400 you get brilliant clarity throughout this region, without potential aberration from cranium-splitting highs or bowel-churning lows. A lot of money buys a lot of sound delivered to your sonic sweet spot.

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.
