So after finding the perfect shoulder camera/laptop bag, the National Geographic NG-2475, and then having to return it because it couldn’t fit my 15.4″ MacBook Pro, fortunately Bogen (yes, the same company that makes tripods) makes a slightly larger version: the National Geographic NG-2477. The new bag is a few inches wider and is identical [...]
VModa Vibe Duo Nero Earbuds Review
I had long known that the included Apple i-Buds(?)…earbuds…earphones simply, just do not cut it. They’re big and clunky when you put them in your ear and half the time don’t even stay in. But when I got my iPhone, the included earphones had one great feature: the press button answer/hang-up/pause/skip-to-next-track button & microphone. So [...]
MobileMe and iPhone Software 2.0

MacBook Pro (5 Month Review)
Time for a long term review of the 15 inch MacBook Pro. So I’ve had the MBP for 5 months now and I must say that I still very much like it. The Intel Core Duo processors are wonderful. At times I find myself spoiled and not realizing it until I’m using an older Mac. [...]
Apple MacPro and New Xserve
Apple just released the MacPro, a dual-core Xenon processor powerhouse, at their Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). This thing looks beautiful! They also revamped their Xserve to house the Xenon processors also.
