Long day at Macworld Expo, and naughty people

A ton of new products we seen, and I promise to have much more tomorrow. Right now, after a long keynote day, walking around the showroom floor (well, the south side anyway) all I want to do is keep my butt in this seat for a little while, as the dogs are barking fit to burst.

In Search of the Valley DVD
Review


Besides writing and talking about the Macintosh and all things Apple, I have long been enamored with the story of Silicon Valley. I personally find it amazing what that small part of California has accomplished over the last few decades. It is an amazing story. So when I first heard of the documentary "In Search of the Valley", I was intrigued. Read the full review.

The Disko iPod Case
Review


The Disko brings what has always been missing to the iPod: flashing and chasing lights. I didn’t say you were missing this feature, just that the iPod was missing it. Is it worth the thirty dollar asking price? Read the review to find out.

Review

Time for another iPod case review. I have seen so many iPod cases, I fear I may eventually become jaded in reviewing them. Seriously, how many different types of iPod cases can you come up with? Well, in the case of the Aluminum V2 from PodsPlus, a lot.

EyeCandy iMovie Animated Themes
Review

While the stock themes supplied by Apple with iMovie 6 are great, I knew it would only be a matter of time before an intrepid software developer would jump in with third-party themes. I was right, and Sidicom was one of the first.

Lexmark P4350 Printer
Review

Buying a color printer is usually one of the first things a new computer owner will do. It is a natural add-on for any computer user. A computer without a printer is like a television without a remote. And if you are looking to buy your first printer, or replace your existing color printer with something a little more modern, the Lexmark P4350 may be right up your alley, providing you don’t need Intel Mac print drivers.

Timbuktu Pro 8.6
Review


For those unfamiliar with Timbuktu, let me give you the basics. It is remote control software, meaning you use it to either take control of another computer (Mac or PC, but for this review, I’m only looking at the Macintosh version) or you allow someone else to take control of your machine. Sounds simple, and it is. But there is much more to it than that.

Global Motion 1 Video Clips
Review

What do you do when you have a video project that calls for, in this case, a selection of spinning and / or motion globes? If you are a 3D animator, you spend hours painstakingly creating, rendering, and outputting your video. If you are like me, however, you don’t have any 3D rendering skills at all. The only option for you and me is to find stock footage you can buy and use in your projects. That’s where VideoAnimation.com comes in.
