Earlier this week, Apple announced a refresh of the 21″ and 27″ iMac. While not an unexpected update to the product line, Apple released it with little fanfare, surprising many of the Mac faithful who awaited official announcements of new Mac systems in October.

Review: HP Z1 Workstation — Don’t Call It A Desktop

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:30:59 +0000

HP is a company that makes printers, desktops, and laptops. What is occasionally forgotten is HP’s line of professional-grade workstations. While some may think a workstation and a PC are the same exact thing, there are different design choices involved. HP’s workstations are well-regarded; maybe even a bit more than the PCs.

I confess that I didn’t expect today’s Apple Press event to surprise me. The whole world expected an iPad Mini and new Macbook. We even heard that there would be a new version of iBooks, Apple’s eReading app. What I don’t think many of us expected was desktop refreshes and yet another new iPad. Let’s […]

There’s A Charge In The Air About WiTricity

Tom Wyrick — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:28:51 +0000

The concept of inductive charging has been around for a little while now. (The Palm Pre launched with such a feature, and battery manufacturers Duracell and Eveready offer their own inductive chargers to use with various electronic devices.) The goal, of course, is to eliminate extra wires and clutter. So, when the Wall Street Journal […]

A Facebook friend posted this on his wall yesterday, and at first I didn’t believe it. Apple is refusing to fix smokers’ computers. Seriously. Something I just learned: Apple will refuse to repair your Mac if anybody in your home or office has smoked in its presence. When asked for details about his house guest’s […]
