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 […]

It seems like only yesterday when Apple announced its new line of notebooks with unibody aluminum cases and a dramatic change to chiclet keyboard keys (first seen in the MacBooks and then adopted across the product line).

While some of last week’s rumors of new Apple hardware came true, other predicted updates were notably absent.

An Apple Hater…Converted?

Last Friday was a monumental day in my life. As an ardent anti-Apple advocate since my purchase of a second generation iPod touch way back in 2008, I have declared Apple products overpriced, showy, and too locked-down.

Ever since I purchased my early 2010 edition of the 17″ Macbook Pro, I’ve found it somewhat inconvenient transitioning between using it on my desk at home and taking it with me. Apple tries to offer a solution by way of purchasing one of their costly Cinema displays which integrates a mag-safe power cable and […]

Receiving review units is always a bit of a thrill, but sometimes there can be a catch. Case in point, the Cocoon Grid-It. This is a unique accessory, but the snag was that I didn’t have the device it was meant for. This particular unit holds a Macbook Air. However, I soon discovered it […]
